Abstract: The present invention relates to a reconfigurable child receiving device that includes a seat portion and arcuate leg members that support the seat portion above a supporting surface. The seat portion is further supported by arcuate cross members that extend between the leg members and are pivotally connected to the leg members. The arcuate cross member can each be individually pivoted upward above the leg members or downward below the leg members. The pivotal connection between the leg members and the cross members enables the reconfigurable child receiving device to be configured into four different modes of use. In a first mode, both arcuate cross members are pivoted upward above the leg members to allow the device to rock on the leg members in a first direction. In a second mode the second cross member is pivoted downward to prevent rocking in the first direction and to secure the seat portion in a relatively upright configuration.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a unique convertible ride-on vehicle. The ride-on vehicle of the present invention includes at least one font wheel, at least two rear wheels mounted on a rear axle, a frame supported by the at least one front wheel and the at least two rear wheels, a torque input mechanism, a torque transfer mechanism for transferring torque from the torque input mechanism to the rear wheels. The ride-on vehicle of the present invention is convertible between a first, tricycle configuration in which the rear wheels are spaced apart on the rear axle and a second, bicycle configuration in which the rear wheels are in close proximity to each other. Finally, the present application discloses a clean, simple method and apparatus for adjusting the tension of a chain or belt utilized to drive a ride-on vehicle.
