Abstract: Seat inserts and methods of manufacture are described. An example seat insert includes a fastener to removably couple the seat insert to a bassinet or playard. The example seat include also includes a first base panel having a first length, a first end and a second end and a second base panel having a second length, a first end and a second end. The second end of the first base panel is coupled to the first end of the second base panel. In addition, the first length is longer than the second length so that the first base panel is positioned at a first incline and the second base panel is positioned at a second incline different than the first incline to cause a child occupant to assume a semi-upright position.

An example bassinet assembly includes an upper frame, a first support arm and a second support arm coupled to the upper frame and a floorboard coupled or adjacent to the first support arm and the second support arm. The example bassinet assembly also includes a support liner coupled between the floorboard and the upper frame and a cover disposed over at least a portion of each of the upper frame, the support liner and the floorboard.

Abstract: A convertible support apparatus and related methods are disclosed. An example convertible support apparatus for supporting a seat in a first mode and a second mode includes a substantially flexible section to support the seat in a first mode, and a substantially rigid bypass. The substantially rigid bypass is positioned to selectively deactivate the substantially flexible section when the convertible support is in the second mode.

Abstract: A configurable jewelry article such as a pendant, broach, ring, bracelet or earring that is alterable to include additional settings and to allow an even or an odd number of settings to be aesthetically pleasing. The settings may be positioned so that they are centered or symmetrically positioned regardless of whether an even or odd number of settings are mounted. The settings are formed with a mount or beam that is received in one of a number of positions within the jewelry. Typically, the setting mount is retained between upper and lower frames. The setting positions are typically within a central channel and the setting positions include a central setting position, suitable for mounting a single setting and two setting positions equidistant from the central setting position. The setting positions may be equally spaced as the distance from the central positions increases or the spacing may increase as the distance from the central positions increases.

Abstract: Seat inserts and methods of manufacturing seat inserts are disclosed. An example seat insert includes a frame. A first base panel is coupled to the frame, and a second base panel is coupled to the frame. The second base panel is joined to the first base panel. The first base panel is positioned at a first incline and the second base panel is positioned at a second incline to provide an inclined support for a child. A relative length of at least one of the first base panel or the second base panel is adjustable to adjust angles of inclination of the first base panel and the second base panel.

Abstract: A child entertainment apparatus is convertible between a swing mode and a jumper mode. An example apparatus includes a frame, and a seat. The seat is coupled to the frame by a substantially rigid support when the apparatus is in the swing mode, and the seat is coupled to the frame through a substantially flexible support when the apparatus is in the jumper mode.

Abstract: Foldable and portable playard assemblies with a storage compartment and methods of use thereof are disclosed. An example playard includes a lower frame having a collapsed position and an erected position, an upper frame having a collapsed position and an erected position and a plurality of corner posts coupling the lower frame and the upper frame. The example playard also includes an upper extension member coupled to and extending from the upper frame and a lower extension member coupled to extending from the lower frame. The upper extension member, the lower extension and two of the plurality of corner posts form a storage compartment frame. In addition, the storage compartment frame remains in an extended position when the lower frame is in the collapsed position and the upper frame is in the collapsed position.

Abstract: A child entertainment apparatus is convertible between a swing mode and a jumper mode. An example apparatus includes a frame, and a seat. The seat is coupled to the frame by a substantially rigid support when the apparatus is in the swing mode, and the seat is coupled to the frame through a substantially flexible support when the apparatus is in the jumper mode.

Abstract: A child entertainment apparatus is convertible between a swing mode and a jumper mode. The apparatus includes a frame, and a support convertible between a swinging configuration and a bouncing configuration. In the jumper mode, the support suspends the seat from the frame by a substantially flexible section, and in the swing mode, the support suspends the seat from the frame by a substantially rigid section. A bypass section is movable between an engaged position wherein the bypass section provides a substantially rigid connection between the frame and the seat, and a disengaged position wherein the substantially flexible section of the first support provides a flexible connection between the frame and the seat. The seat may be convertible between a feet forward position for the swing mode and a feet down position for the jumper mode.
