Abstract: An adjustment mechanism of nursery equipment includes a string connecting a fixed portion and a movable portion, a reel that is rotatable in both forward and reverse directions and that changes the position or shape of the movable portion by winding up and feeding out the string, a biasing member that biases the reel in such a way that the reel rotates in a winding direction of the string, and a lock member that prohibits rotation of the reel. A biasing force of the biasing member is selected to be smaller than a biasing force with which the movable portion tends to move downward in the vertical direction.

Abstract: An apparatus for seating a child in a vehicle may include a seat, a backrest coupled to the seat at an angle, and an upper support movably coupled to the backrest. The upper support is configured to move relative to the backrest between an expanded configuration and a collapsed configuration. The upper support may be non-load bearing. The apparatus may further include a rethread harness system. A method of adjusting a children's car seat may include removing a locking component from a first receiving loop. The method may further include sliding a non-load bearing upper support along a backrest of the children's car seat. The method may further include inserting the locking component into a second receiving loop.

Abstract: A system for converting an infant child seat to a stroller may include an infant child seat, a wheeled frame, and a handle. The handle is coupled to the infant child seat and configured to manipulate the wheeled frame when the infant child seat is mounted. A wheeled frame, being removably securable to an infant child seat, may include a frame movable between a folded storage configuration and an expanded stroller configuration. The frame is configured to removably receive an infant child seat and includes a plurality of wheels. The wheeled frame does not define a handle. A method of converting an infant child seat including a handle to a stroller may include coupling the seat to a wheeled frame. The method further includes manually actuating, by a first hand of a user, the handle into a stroller position. The seat coupled to the frame are operable as a stroller.

Abstract: An adjustment mechanism of nursery equipment includes a string connecting a fixed portion and a movable portion, a reel that is rotatable in both forward and reverse directions and that changes the position or shape of the movable portion by winding up and feeding out the string, a rotation operation member that controls rotation of the reel, a motion transmission portion that transmits a rotational motion of the rotation operation member to the reel, and a motion separation portion that does not transmit the rotational motion of the rotation operation member to the reel.
