- The present invention relates generally to the field of child support devices, and more particularly to child high chairs.
- Conventional children's high chairs typically include a child seat elevated above a floor by a frame. Certain high chairs, however, are provided with an additional seat that can be removably secured to the high chair's child seat in order to convert the high chair for use by children of different ages. In some previously known devices, when the booster seat is detached from the high chair, it is typically coupled to a separate base member and can then be secured to a standard high chair for use as a booster.
- Accordingly, it can be seen that needs exist for an improved convertible high chair that is easier and more convenient for users to convert and that includes a removable booster seat capable of stably supporting itself on a support surface (e.g. a standard chair) without the need to be secured to a separate component (e.g. a separate base member).
- It is to the provision of a children's high chair meeting these and other needs that the present invention is primarily directed.
- In example embodiments, the present invention provides a convertible children's high chair providing improved functionality and convenience for parents and other adult caregivers. According to various embodiments, the convertible high chair generally includes a first child seat supported above a floor by a high chair frame, and a second child seat configured to be removably coupled to the 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 independently as a booster seat. In certain embodiments, the second child seat includes a base surface configured to stably support the second child seat on a separate support surface.
- In one aspect, the present invention relates to a convertible children's high chair including a frame configured to rest on a support surface, a first child seat defining a first seating surface and a second child seat defining a second seating surface. The first child seat is repositionably coupled to the frame and supported above the support surface. The second child seat is configured to be removably attached to the first child seat and includes a base configured to rest on a flat support surface to support the second child seat when the second child seat is decoupled from the first child seat.
- In another aspect, the present invention relates to a convertible high chair including a frame configured to rest on the floor, a first child seat defining a first seating portion and a second child seat defining a second seating portion. The first child seat is coupled to the frame and supported above the floor and the second child seat is configured to be removably coupled to the first child seat. The second child seat includes a base with a downward extending skirt. The skirt is configured to extend substantially around the entirety of the first seating portion of the first child seat when the second child seat is coupled to the first child seat.
- In still another aspect, the present invention relates to a convertible high chair including a frame configured to rest on the floor, a first child seat defining a first seating surface, a second child seat defining a second seating surface and a tray assembly. The first child seat is coupled to the frame and supported above the floor and the second child seat is configured to be removably coupled to the first child seat. The tray assembly includes a base tray pivotally coupled to the second child seat and a detachable tray removably coupled to the base tray.
- In still another aspect, the present invention relates to a tray assembly for a children's high chair including a base tray, a detachable tray removably coupled to the base tray, and an auxiliary tray extensible and retractable relative to the detachable tray.

It is to be understood that this invention is not limited to the specific devices, methods, conditions or parameters described and/or shown herein, and that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments by way of example only and is not intended to be limiting of the claimed invention. Any and all patents and other publications identified in this specification are incorporated by reference as though fully set forth herein.
- Also, as used in the specification including the appended claims, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” include the plural, and reference to a particular numerical value includes at least that particular value, unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. Ranges may be expressed herein as from “about” or “approximately” one particular value and/or to “about” or “approximately” another particular value. When such a range is expressed, another embodiment includes from the one particular value and/or to the other particular value. Similarly, when values are expressed as approximations, by use of the antecedent “about,” it will be understood that the particular value forms another embodiment.
- 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 the 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 a different mode of use independent of the frame. In certain embodiments, the convertible high chair is convertible for use by children of varying ages. For example, when the second child seat is coupled to the first child seat, the high chair functions in a first configuration as an infant high chair. In a second configuration, when the second child seat is detached, the high chair functions as a toddler booster seat. In a third configuration, the second child seat can also include 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 to a separate base or support member). In the third configuration, the second child seat functions on its own as an infant or toddler booster seat.
- With reference now to the drawing figures, wherein like reference numbers represent corresponding parts throughout the several views,
FIGS. 1-49 show a convertiblehigh chair 100 according to an example embodiment of the present invention. Thehigh chair 100 generally includes aframe 200, afirst child seat 300 and asecond child seat 400 that includes atray assembly 500.FIGS. 1-3 illustrate the convertiblehigh chair 100 in a first configuration or mode of use as an infant high chair, in which thesecond child seat 400 is coupled to thefirst child seat 300 and thereby supported by theframe 200 in a high chair configuration. -
FIG. 4 illustrates the second configuration in which the convertiblehigh chair 100 is adapted for a second mode of use as a stand-alone toddler booster seat. In this configuration, thesecond child seat 400 is decoupled from thefirst child seat 300 and is removed from thehigh chair 100 to expose theseat portion 310 of the first child seat. Thefirst child seat 300 is supported a distance above the floor by theframe 200. - The
frame 200, shown inFIGS. 4-6 , is generally configured for resting on a floor or other support surface. Theframe 200 generally includes a frontU-shaped frame member 210 and a backU-shaped frame member 220 connected at ahubs 230 positioned on either side of the frame. Theframe members cross frame member legs cross frame members upright frame members cross frame members hub 230. In the depicted embodiment, the frontupright frame members 214 are attached to thehubs 230 in a fixed position, whereas the backupright frame members 224 are pivotally attached to the hubs. This pivotal attachment allows a user to fold theframe 200 from an expanded in-use position, shown inFIG. 5 , to a more compact storage position, shown inFIG. 6 . Thehubs 230 can each include a locking mechanism that locks the frame in the in-use and/or storage position. In the example embodiment, the locking mechanism locks theback frame member 220 in both the in-use and folded position. Thehubs 230 each include abutton 232 that, when pressed, unlocks the locking mechanism and allows theback frame member 220 to pivot between the in-use and folded position. In example embodiments, two-handed operation by an adult is utilized to fold the mechanism, to prevent inadvertent release. In alternate embodiments, another release mechanism, such as a handle or switch, can be used. In alternate embodiments, thefront frame member 210 or both frame members are able to pivot. In the depicted embodiment, theframe 200 also includes a plurality of wheels 240 (e.g., castors) that permit theframe 200 to be rolled by a user along the floor. In example embodiments, thewheels 240 have a diameter of at least about 1.5 inches to help the frame roll along a thick carpet. Thewheels 240 optionally include caster mechanisms for rotation and turning. In alternate embodiments, larger or smaller wheel diameters can be used. In the depicted embodiment,wheel attachment protrusions 242 attach thewheels 240 to theframe members protrusions 242 position the wheels 240 a distance outwardly away from theframe members wheels 240 attach directly to theframe members wheels 240 can include a lock and release orbraking mechanism 244 for selectively locking the wheels to prevent rolling or releasing the wheels to allow rolling. In alternate embodiments, theframe 200 can include other sliding or rolling means. - In example embodiments, the
frame 2200 of the high chair 2000 can also include additionalrolling elements 2246, as shown inFIGS. 51 and 52 .
