Abstract: The infant product of the invention is of the type having an infant receptacle suspended from a frame. The infant product is foldable between a deployed position for use and a compact configuration for shipping and storage. In the assembled configuration, the infant receptacle is convertible between a bassinet configuration in which the infant receptacle has a substantially planar support surface and an infant seat configuration in which the support surface of the infant receptacle is partially titled or disposed at an angle such that the infant can be supported in an elevated or seated position. The infant product may include a fabric canopy incorporating floating webs and a quick connect system for securing the canopy in an open position. When the canopy is closed, it is folded so as to lie flat against the infant receptacle. The infant receptacle may also include a lateral support assembly to cradle the infant.

Abstract: A combination mirror and amusement system for entertaining and amusing a child in a vehicle.

Abstract: A front infant carrier which includes a vest-like harness that is worn by the attendant, a detachable infant shell, and a sling. The detachable infant shell attaches to the harness at three attachment points, either in a forward-facing or rearward-facing orientation. In the rearward-facing position, the shell attaches to the harness by a peg/button mounted at the crotch of the shell which snaps into a socket centrally mounted at the lower front of the harness, and by a pair of upper clips on the shell which engage rings on the upper front of the harness. The forward-facing attachment uses a second peg/button at the lower back portion of the shell, instead of the crotch peg/button, and attaches in a similar fashion, whereby the second peg/button snaps into the socket centrally mounted at the lower front of the harness, and the pair of upper clips on the shell engage the rings on the upper front of the harness.
