The trays are elevated from a support member such as a floor by a plurality of legs or pylons. Many of the prior art devices are stationary devices and cannot be moved by the infant.
- The present invention is directed to a unit that is designed to holds two infants, such as twins, in separate seats in a manner that allows them to interact and play with one another. The arrangement of the seats in the device encourages early socialization among twins or children of approximately the same age and allows for them to safely play with one another in a secure environment. Further aspects of the disclosure are directed to an infant activity center wherein more than one infant can interact with one another and share items on a single tray. In a preferred embodiment, the tray is supported from the floor by a plurality of legs. Two passages are provided through the tray in which seats for infants are situated. The seats are designed to support the weight of the infant and each seat includes openings through which the infant's legs may be received. The seat is made from a flexible fabric or other material such as molded synthetic resin. In one embodiment the seats allow for the infant to rotate 360° using their legs or arms for mobility. The rotation of the seat with respect to the tray may be facilitated by the provision of an annular bearing assembly or rollers (not shown) which are received in a complementary annular ring on the tabletop around the seats. This arrangement provides some exercise for the infant and allows the children to conveniently access the entire tabletop that surrounds the seating area, including areas that are provided with secured toys as well as areas on the tabletop that are empty.
- In an alternative contemplated embodiment, toys are provided that are located and secured on the tabletop between the infants as well as at locations secured around the tabletop of the unit. In a preferred embodiment a toy is positioned in a secured location that is accessible by both infants when they are seated in their respective seats. Providing toys that are secured in place prevents the toys from being dropped from the tabletop or, with respect to the toy in the location between the infants, to be moved by one of the infants from the location. This arranged allows simultaneous play by more than one infant with a single toy and prevents one infant from keeping the toy to oneself. The infants are spaced apart from one another in a manner that allows them to share a toy, but they are not able to directly interact with each other, with the exception of their extended hands. This arrangement allows the infants to explore playing with one another as well as individually. Toys secured to the tabletop may include abacus like wire toys, spinning toys, light-up toys, mirrors and musical or noisemaking toys.
