Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an infant booster seat, in particular to an infant booster seat which is interchangeable/convertible with a bag.
  • Baby changing bags are well known as a means for carrying and storing essential baby items such as nappies, wipes, creams and baby feed etc. These bags come in a variety of shapes, sizes and styles and generally include storage pockets which may be shaped specifically for bottles, baby food jars or pacifiers. The may also include a portable changing mat, a dirty nappy bag and further pockets for toys and spare clothing.
  • GB 2 430 143 A describes a baby changing bag comprising a changing mat and a pocket for holding at least one item of baby changing materials.
  • the changing mat may either be directly attached to the bag or is attachable thereto, and can be used for changing a baby when so attached to the bag.
  • a dispensing area is also exposed when the bag is in the baby-changing configuration to allow access to changing materials stored within the bag.
  • Bags which convert into booster seats are also known.
  • US 6 692 072 B2 describes a shoulder bag which can be converted into a booster seat by unzipping a flap from a section of the bag body and opening to a chair configuration, in which the flap forms the back of the seat.
  • a second zip around the periphery of the bag-body can then be opened to allow air to flow into a pocket which contains compressed, self-inflating, foam, which inflates to form a padded seat base.
  • US4527830 describes a device for transporting infant supplies and for supporting an infant and includes a main body that has upright walls extending from a base for forming a central cavity. The top of the cavity is closed by an upper support surface. A portion of at least two of the walls extend above the upper support surface, and the infant support member of two table members hinged relative to each other are mounted on the infant support surface.
  • the table members slide through their connection with the hinge shafts through the slot. At one end of the slot when the table members are folded over each other, the table members are nested above the main body. At the other end of the slot, when the table members are open, the central pivot is generally centrally located on the main body to prevent tipping of the device.
  • the present invention provides a multifunctional bag as defined in claim 1.
  • the multifunctional bag comprises a removable padding.
  • the removable padding is a foldable changing mat.
  • the changing mat has side portions extending along at least a portion of the longitudinal edges of the mat.
  • the changing mat is divided into three regions in which at least two adjacent regions have raised side portions such that in a folded configuration the at least two adjacent regions form a void, and in an unfolded configuration the raised side portions help to prevent a baby from rolling off the mat.
  • the void can accommodate at least one unused nappy and/or optional baby changing materials.
  • the void can accommodate two or more unused nappies and/or optional baby changing materials.
  • the changing mat is foldable such that, in use, one of the regions of the mat fills the void in instances where no items are stored within the void.
  • the multifunctional bag further includes at least one storage pocket.
  • the multifunctional bag comprises two or more storage pockets in which at least one is suitable for storing a liquid container.
  • at least one of the two or more storage pockets is expandable and optionally formed from a mesh material.
  • the pockets are expandable.
  • the pockets are expandable by elasticated means.
  • the pocket periphery comprises a zipped region which is unfastenable to permit expansion of the pocket.
  • the seat base pocket periphery comprises a zipped region which is unfastenable to permit expansion of the pocket.
  • the multifunctional bag includes a waste pouch for the storage of waste nappies and the like.
  • the waste pouch is sealable to prevent leakage of waste materials and/or odours.
  • the waste pouch is lined with a waterproof, wipeable material.
  • the waste pouch further includes a disposable liner.
  • the multifunctional bag includes side panels which link the seat base to the seat back, when the bag is in a seat configuration. The side panels fold into the bag interior, between the seat back and an upper surface of the seat base, in a bag configuration.
  • the side panels are formed from a plastics material having a memory.
  • side panels are formed from a single sheet of plastics material.
  • the plastics material is a polypropylene or polyphenylene oxide (PPO).
  • the side panels are formed from a polypropylene or PPO core encased in a PVC outer membrane. This arrangement provides rigidity to the side panels of the seat.
  • the memory is a moulded fold which enables the panel to pop open naturally when a relevant zip is unfastened.
  • the bag is held in a seat configuration by elasticated means. This provides a chair-like quality to the booster seat and helps to keep the child in the seat.
  • the booster seat further comprises side reinforcement clips.
  • the side reinforcement clips are mounted to, and adapted to swivel and lock about, the side panels.
  • the seat further includes a child restraining means.
  • the child restraining means comprises a pair of waist straps and a gusset strap.
  • the waist straps are fixed at one end to the seat back, and the gusset strap is fixed at one end to the seat base.
  • the waist straps are attachable to and detachable from the gusset strap by detachable means.
  • the detachable means comprise detachable clips.
  • the waist straps are adjustable.
  • the child restraining means is accommodated within, and fold into, the bag interior, between the seat back and an upper surface of the seat base, when in a bag configuration.
  • a chair engaging portion of the bag is provided with an anti-slip means, suitably in the form of rubber studs, strips or a combination thereof. These are provided to stop the seat from slipping whilst on a chair surface.
  • the mat is at least partially resiliently compressible to reduce the overall size of the bag and permit greater storage capacity for other items. This is achieved by an additional peripheral zip which, when zipped closed, acts to compress to the seat padding and the pocket in which it is stored.
  • a multifunctional bag 10 having a bag body 11 and a shoulder strap 12.
  • the bag body 11 includes a front side pocket 13 into which items may be placed from above, and an upper pocket, to which access is gained by the opening of zip fastener 15.
  • a first peripheral zip fastener 20 permits conversion of the bag 10 to a seat configuration, described below in relation to Figure 4
  • a second peripheral zip fastener 21 permits removal of seat padding/changing mat (not shown).
  • Shoulder strap 12 comprises first and second strap portions 12a, 12b linked by an adjustment means in the form of buckle 22, which permits the overall strap length to be quickly and easily adjusted.
  • the buckle 22 can be unclipped to allow the first and second strap portions 12a, 12b to be respectively slipped underneath a chair seat and subsequently re-clipped so that the bag 10, when in a seat configuration, can be secured to a chair.
  • the shoulder strap 12 is attached to each side of the bag body 11 by stitching 23 at an angle of around 45° such that, in a bag configuration, the bag has the appearance of a typical over-the-shoulder bag.
  • a booster seat configuration Figure 4
  • the strap can be conveniently twisted to permit anchorage of the booster seat to either the base or the back of a chair, as more clearly depicted in Figure 6 .
  • the shoulder strap further comprises attachment means for attaching any loose strap portions, which result when the strap length is less than its optimum length, to the bag body 11.
  • attachment means may be in the form of any suitable attachment means such as respective hook and eye fastenings, such as Velcro®, or press-studs.
  • Figure 4 shows the multifunctional bag 10 in a booster seat configuration.
  • conversion between bag 10 and booster seat 24 is carried out by unfastening the first peripheral zip 20, which releases a hinged portion of the bag, constituting the seat back 25, from the bag body 11.
  • child restraining means in the form of a gusset strap 30 and a pair of side straps 31 a, 31b, and side panels 33 which link the seat base 32 to the scat back 25.
  • the gusset strap 30 is generally of a T-shape, as shown in Figure 5 , and includes a pair of releasable waist clips 34 which allow the side straps 31a, 31b to be clipped thereto.
  • This arrangement is generally known and permits the legs of a child to pass thereunder and the upper part of the gusset strap 30 and side straps 31a, 31 b to restrain a child from falling out of the seat.
  • the seat size can be adjusted side straps 31a, 31b and waist clips 34.
  • the side panels 33 are adapted to self-erect when the seat back 25 is moved away from the seat base 32, and fold into the bag interior, between the seat back 25 and an upper surface of the seat base 32, in the bag configuration.
  • the side panels 33 can be formed from any suitable plastics material and generally a single piece construction.
  • a single-piece construction allows the side panels 33 to be formed with a 'memory', typically in the form of a moulded fold 41 which provides a spring or clasticated hinge.
  • further clasticated means for example in the form of clasticated straps, may be provided to help maintain the bag in a seat configuration.
  • a specific advantage of this arrangement is that it permits a one-handed conversion of the bag to the seat configuration.
  • Suitable materials for the formation of the side panels 33 include polypropylene or polyphenylene oxide (PPO).
  • PPO polypropylene or polyphenylene oxide
  • the side panels can also be coated and covered with other materials, including padding, to provide rigidity and generally improve the quality of finish.
  • the side panels 33 are formed from a PPO core encased in a PVC' outer membrane.
  • the side panels 33 optionally include side reinforcement clips 40, pivotally connected to the side panel 33 and rotatable to a locked configuration in which the moulded fold or spring hinge is held open, as shown in Figures 4 and 6 .
  • the seat 24 can be secured to a chair with the shoulder strap 12.
  • the shoulder strap 12 is used to secure the booster seat 24 to a chair 42. This is achieved by unclipping the buckle 22 of shoulder strap 12 and either placing it around the back of the chair and then re-clipping the buckle followed by tightening the strap 12, or unclipping the buckle 22, twisting the strap 12a, 12b about the stitching 23 and passing the straps 12a, 12b under the chair seat and re-clipping, followed by tightening the strap 12.
  • the strap can be longitudinally split into two straps by unfastening a zip, or other suitable means, and the buckle can be separated into two respective buckles, one corresponding to each strap.
  • a zip, or other suitable means such an arrangement permits the booster seat to be secured simultaneously to a chair by both of the mechanisms described above.
  • the face of the bag which contacts a chair when the bag is in a booster seat configuration is provided with anti-slip means (not shown).
  • the anti-slip means are preferably in the form of rubberised studs or strips.
  • the region of the bag body 11 corresponding to the seat base 32 comprises a soft inner cushion as seat padding.
  • This seat padding 50 is removable from the bag 10 and booster seat 24, when second peripheral zip 21 is unfastened, and can be conveniently unfolded to become a foldable changing mat 51, as shown in Figure 8 .
  • the foldable changing mat 51 and also the booster seat 24, are formed from materials which can be easily wiped clean.
  • the changing mat 51 is constructed with side portions, in the form of a peripheral lip 52, which help prevent a baby from rolling off the mat 51 whilst it is being changed.
  • the lip 52 can be the same thickness as the base of the mat 53, or thicker.
  • a void is created which permits unused nappies 54 and other baby changing items such as wipes etc (not shown) to be stored therein.
  • the changing mat can be re-folded so that a region of the mat fills the void to enhance the seat padding.
  • the bag/booster seat is provided with a third peripheral zip which permits the bag base and the seat padding 50 to be held in a compressed state.
  • the provision of a third peripheral zip permits compression of the padding and pocket leading to an overall reduction in size of the bag. This allows smaller sized bags to be produced, or in alternative embodiments, more pockets to be incorporated to increase the bags storage capacity.
  • the bag also provides additional space for the storage of baby wipes, a bottle and some food essentials, and may comprise elasticised side and/ or front mesh pockets.
  • a booster bag according the invention constitutes a novel combination of booster seat and changing bag which limits the amount of equipment that a parent requires when travelling, whether to the shops or on holiday.
