In this way, not only the infant baby has participating feeling in mealtime but also adult has the easiness of feeding the infant baby. Thus, the relevant industries have developed a variety of high chairs exclusively for infant baby such that infant baby can have his meal by taking a seat on the high chair. Conventionally, the high chair for baby typically has a seat section which has legs downward on the bottom, and a seat bac.k section integrally formed on the back end of the seat section, and further a meal-tray provided at the front end of the seat section. When infant baby seats on the high chair, his back is supported by a force from the seat back section, and an equal-height with adult is obtained by the chair legs. Therefore, the infant baby is allowed to have his meal served on the meal-tray safely.

However, although the above high chair of infant baby can achieve the expected effectiveness of having meal served at equal height with adult, it is found in practical use that the seat back section of the high chair for infant baby is integrally formed on the rear end face of the seat section such that the seat back section cannot detached from the rear end face of the seat section during collapse. Thus, the seat back section is formed as a projecting state so that the volume is large even after packing. Not only it takes a lot of storing space, but also the cost of storing and delivery is high so that consumer eventually receives much more burden due to the increasing cost pass-through over to consumer.

Therefore, there exists some space to be improved in its practical use.

In view of the above defects, the inventor of the present invention thus undergoes the research and improvement with respect to the conventional high chair based on the professional knowledge and experience accumulated in the long term involvement of relevant field, and eventually proposes a novel engageable and disengageable structure of seat back section and main body of high chair for infant baby, so as to achieve the object of obtaining better value in practical use.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The engageable and disengageable structure of seat back section and main body of high chair for infant baby of the present invention uses a detachable design between the seat section and the seat back section for mutual combination. In this manner, the seat back section is directly combined at the rear end of the seat section when in use, and the seat back section is detached from the seat section when out of use.

The seat back section thus detached from the seat section can be stored within the space at the lower end of the high chair for infant baby so that the volume after packing is remarkably reduced, and the cost of delivery can be decreased. Therefore, more convenience in practical use can be
