The drive mechanism or motor is coupled to and/or is integral to the assembly and its speed and motion is controlled electronically. The pivot axis about which the seat assembly rotates is preferably configured to be at least slightly offset from the vertical axis, such that the seat assembly will “self-center” when at rest. | 01-31-2013 |
20130038104 | INFANT LOUNGER - A lounger seat, as for infants or children, having a body with a seating area, sidewalls for retaining the child in the seating area, and a non-flat lower surface for supporting the lounger on a support surface. In example embodiments, the non-flat lower surface allows rocking of the lounger.

20130241248 | CONVERTIBLE HIGH CHAIR - 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. The second child seat is configured such that, when detached from the high chair's first child seat, it can be used apart from the high chair as a booster seat (e.g., secured to the seating surface of a standard chair or another support surface). In certain embodiments, the second child seat includes a base surface configured to stably support the second child seat on a separate support surface (e.g., without the need to be attached to or mounted on a separate base or support member). | 09-19-2013 |
20140008951 | PIVOTAL HANDLE LOCK/RELEASE MECHANISM FOR CHILD CAR SEAT - A plurality of lock tracks on a carrier of a car seat, a slider that co-pivots with a handle of the carrier, and an actuator on the handle and moveable between lock and release positions. Each of the lock tracks defines a respective handle position. The slider is slideable between lock and release positions, and is spring-biased toward the lock position. In the slider lock position, the slider engages one of the lock tracks to secure the co-pivoting handle in the respective handle position. And in the slider release position, the slider does not engage any of the lock tracks to permit the co-pivoting handle to pivot between the handle positions. The actuator is biased toward the lock position by the spring-biased slider, and actuating the actuator from its lock position to its release position moves the slider from its lock position to its release position. | 01-09-2014 |
20140008952 | INFANT CARRIER AND CAR SAFETY SEAT WITH NO-RETHREAD HARNESS ADJUSTMENT - A vehicle safety seat and infant carrier system allowing height adjustment of a shoulder harness strap without rethreading the harness strap through the seat. A positioning member is normally biased out of engagement with a toothed rail, allowing a harness strap carried by the positioning member to be adjusted up or down to fit the size of a child. As the harness strap is pulled tight, the positioning member is brought into engagement with the toothed rail, fixing the position of the strap relative to the seat. | 01-09-2014 |
20140008955 | ADJUSTABLE CHILD SEAT BASE - An adjustable child seat base includes a seat base housing having first and second distal ends, a movable foot movably mounted to the seat base housing for movement between extended and retracted positions for adjusting the angle of the seat base, and a control handle and release positioned between the first and second distal ends of the seat base housing. The control handle and release is adapted for effecting one-handed control of the movement of the movable foot. | 01-09-2014 |

In various embodiments, the portion of the child support configured for supporting the head of a child positioned therein is configured to remain substantially aligned with the axis of rotation as the child support oscillates. | 05-08-2014 |
20140368004 | BOOSTER SEAT WITH STOWABLE TRAY AND/OR STOWABLE SECURING STRAP - A booster seat includes a storage compartment for a tray and/or a storage compartment for securing straps. The tray-storage compartment can be formed in a base of the seat and include an access opening through a sidewall of the base. The tray-storage compartment can include two opposite and inwardly-extending lips that support the tray in the stowed position, and a support foot that moves between a use position in the compartment where it helps support the seat and a stored position displaced from the compartment. Also, the tray-storage compartment can include ribs that engage the tray in the stowed position to retain it there. The strap-storage compartment can be formed in the base and include an access opening with a closure for retaining the straps in the compartment. | 12-18-2014 |
20150076774 | CHILD-CARRIER MOUNTING ADAPTER - 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. And straps or other carrier-securing assemblies can restrain the carrier on the adapter. | 03-19-2015 |
