  • Patent number: 8523218
    Abstract: A stroller has a seat assembly with a seat bottom and a seat back that is movable from an upright in-use orientation to a forward folded orientation closer to the seat bottom. A structure such as an arm bar extends across the seat assembly above the seat bottom and in front of the seat back. The structure is in a raised in-use position with the seat back in the in-use orientation. The structure moves from the in-use position to a lowered stowed position closer to the seat bottom when the seat back is moved to the folded forward orientation.

  • Publication number: 20060252565
    Abstract: A bouncer seat assembly generally has a wire frame structure and a seat suspended from the wire frame structure. The wire frame structure includes a seat section and a base section resiliently and flexibly coupled to and supporting the seat section above the base section. The wire frame structure is configured so that any gap between parts of the bouncer seat assembly is either sized small enough to prohibit a head of a child from fitting between any adjacent parts or sized large enough to prevent a head of a child from being entrapped or pinched between any adjacent parts.

  • Publication number: 20060220349
    Abstract: A compact folding high chair has a foldable frame assembly with a front frame section and a rear frame section pivotally coupled to one another at their respective upper ends. The frame assembly is movable to a folded configuration where the front and rear frame sections are spaced a close distance relative to one another. A front and a rear toe surface are provided on the respective lower ends of the front and rear frame sections. The front and rear toe surfaces are spaced a stabilizing distance from one another in the folded configuration. The stabilizing distance is greater than the close distance of the frame sections. The folded high chair can stand upright on the toe surfaces and remain relatively stable even though the frame sections are close to one another when folded.
