Publication number: 20170360215Abstract: Various embodiments of the present invention are directed to a convertible children's high chair. According to various embodiments, the convertible high chair generally comprises a first child seat supported above a floor by a high chair frame, and a second child seat configured for being removably coupled to first child seat.

Patent number: 9637153Abstract: An adapter removably mounts to a stroller or other child-supporting device, and a range of different child carriers can be removably mounted to the adapter and thus the stroller. The adapter includes stroller-mounting assemblies that are compatible with the carrier-mounting assemblies of the stroller. A peripheral frame is supported by the stroller-mounting assemblies and in turn supports the selected carrier in a snugly nested arrangement. To enable use with various different carriers, the peripheral frame includes an adjustable frame member that slides backward and forward between retracted and extended positions for use with smaller and larger carriers, respectively. Lock assemblies selectively retain the adjustable frame member in position, and an actuator assembly operates the lock assemblies. A position-indicating system can provide a visual indication of the position of the adjustable frame member. Straps or other carrier-securing assemblies can restrain the carrier on the adapter.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2014Date of Patent: May 2, 2017Assignee: KIDS II, INC.Inventor: Jacob Sclare

Patent number: 9532657Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to the field of juvenile products, specifically infant support or nursing pillows, the intent of which is to support an infant in a variety of settings by providing a stable surface upon which to rest. Various embodiments include a generally crescent shaped device, comprised of a resilient fill material surrounded by a fabric shell and having a top and a bottom surface connected by a band of uniform width extending vertically and wholly about the perimeter of the pillow. The top and bottom surfaces are distinctly different in dimension, resulting in the pillow having an asymmetrical cross section, with one side having generally more loft and the other being substantially flat along a plane perpendicular to the perimeter band. A medial region between two extending arms forms a well, for the purpose of receiving a human torso or small child.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2013Date of Patent: January 3, 2017Assignee: KIDS II, INC.Inventors: Jacob Sclare, Peter Jackson, John Matthew Thomson, Cary Costello
