FIGS. 1-4 show a modular children's activity system according to one example embodiment of the present disclosure. According to example embodiments, components of the modular children's activity system can be configured in a variety of configurations, such as for example a children'sjumper configuration 110, an activity table configuration 170, aplay mat configuration 150 and/or achair configuration 160.FIG. 1 , for example, shows a configuration of the children's activity system in the form of a convertible children'sjumper 110 according to an example embodiment. Generally, thejumper configuration 110 includes a base orsupport frame 120, aseat platform 140 comprising a child-receiving apparatus or child-seat 142 and abottom plate 130 suspended from the base by a plurality of suspension elements orelastic tethers 138. Thebase 120 includes a top portion having atop frame 122 configured to receive and retain theseat platform 140. Thetop frame 122 is supported by at least oneleg 124, for example a plurality of legs such as two, three, four or more legs. In example embodiments, thebase 120 is configured to rest on a support surface (e.g., floor or other underlying ground surface) and, when an infant or child C is occupying the child-seat 142, child C is suspended above the support surface by theseat 142. Thebottom plate 130 is configured to be suspended under the child's legs and feet and provide tactile feedback as the child moves his/her legs to push down on thebottom plate 130. The child's interaction with thebottom plate 130 is designed to teach balance, develop lower body motor skills and provide exercise. According to example embodiments, components of theactivity system 110 including, for example, thebase 120,seat platform 140, andbottom plate 130 may be rearranged or reconfigured into a jumper configuration and/or other children's activity device configurations, such as for example a play mat configuration, activity table configurations and/or chair configurations. In example embodiments, the system further includes instructions for configuring one or more components of the system into the different configurations, such as for example written instructions included in or on packaging for the system, on the system components, video instructions, and/or instructions provided via the internet or other communications system. Additional aspects of the disclosure include methods of assembly and/or use of the system by assembly of one or more of the components into one or more of the configurations. - Generally, the
base 120 comprises a top portion comprising atop frame 122 supported by a bottomportion comprising legs 124. In example embodiments, thebase 120 comprises an assembly of geometric tubing of rigid materials, such as for example polyethylene or other polymers or plastics, aluminum or other metals, composites, natural or synthetic wood, or other structural materials of construction. In example embodiments, thetop frame 122 is configured or adapted such that other children's toys and accessories A can be removably attached thereto (seeFIG. 1 ). For example, thetop frame 122 may comprise one or more dedicated adaptors or receivers for releasably retaining one or more children's toys and/or accessories A. In another example, thetop frame 122 may be adapted for clamping or clipping thereon the children's toys and/or accessories A, for example, by way of dedicated slots or grooves. In example embodiments, thetop frame 122 comprises a perimetric structure defining an area or opening configured to receive and retain, for example, theseat platform 140—or thebottom plate 130 in certain configurations as described greater detail below. In the depicted embodiment, thetop frame 122 has an annular profile with an inner circular opening adapted to secure therein thecircular seat platform 140. However, in other example embodiments, the top frame and top insert can be any geometric shape as desired or preferred. - In example embodiments, the
top frame 122 is supported by two generallyU-shaped legs 124 where each of thelegs 124 includes a firstvertical post 124 a, a secondvertical post 124 b and abottom crossmember 124 c, as best shown inFIG. 3 . Each of the first and secondvertical posts top frame 122 while the bottom, distal ends of thevertical posts bottom crossmember 124 c. In example embodiments, thelegs 124 comprise elliptical tubing arranged in a generally trapezoidal profile. The trapezoidal profile ensures a wider footprint towards the support surface (e.g., ground) than near the top to help increase the stability in the various baby gear configurations. In example embodiments, the bottom, distal ends of the vertical posts andbottom crossmember 124 c form an arcuate or rounded profile to permit rocking motions, for example, in the jumper andchair configurations vertical post 124 a, secondvertical posts 124 b andcrossmember 124 c may comprise at least portions or section deformable or flexible material which can be twisted or otherwise manipulated to prevent rocking motions. For example, thecrossmembers 124 c may comprise a deformable or modifiable portion or section allowing the legs to be altered from the general U-shaped profile to a W-shaped profile effectively providing four points of contact with the support surface to prevent any rocking of the baby gear. Alternatively, feet or stops 140 may be provided under thelegs 124, as best shown inFIG. 4 , to achieve the same purpose. - In example embodiments, the
seat platform 140 comprises an outer ring orframe 146 surrounding asurface panel 144 and a child-seat 142 embedded or integrated in, for example, substantially the center of thesurface panel 144. In example embodiments, the surface panel comprises a rigid panel material, such as for example, polyethylene or other rigid, durable material. In some example embodiments, thesurface panel 144 comprises an elastomeric mesh or an elastic web membrane 244 (see, e.g.,FIG. 5 ). In example embodiments, theelastomeric mesh 244 is a web or a mesh of elastomeric material featuring a matrix of gaps or cell openings in which a variety of children's toys and accessories A can be removably secured. In example embodiments, theelastomeric mesh 244 provides enough tension between the child-seat 248 and theouter frame 242 to keep the child suspended from the support surface (e.g., ground) and allows for vertical and slight tilting motions while the child is seated in the child-seat 248. In other example embodiments, the surface panel comprises an elastic, tensioned fabric. In still other example embodiments, the surface panel comprises an elastic, tensioned fabric surface with an elastomeric mesh membrane. - In example embodiments, the
bottom plate 130 is generally suspended below theseat platform 140 and child-seat 142 by a plurality of suspension orelastic tethers 138 removably connected to the base 120 orlegs 124. Thebottom plate 130 is spaced from theseat platform 140 and child-seat 142 such that, when a child is seated in the child-seat 142, the child is able to manipulate thebottom plate 130 in three-dimensional motion. For example, the child can push down on thebottom plate 130 with his/her feet and also wobble it side-to-side, as depicted by the motion arrows inFIG. 1 . The child's interaction with the bottom plate, and the tactile feedback therefrom, can help with the development of the child's motor skills, body awareness and muscle growth. In example embodiments, the height or vertical position of the bottom plate may be adjusted by adjusting the length of thetethers 138 or the attachment points of the tethers to the base 120 orlegs 124. - In example embodiments, the children's activity system can also be reconfigured or converted into multiple (two or more) different children's accessory configurations depending on the needs of the child during various stages of the child's growth and development—for example, a play mat configuration for a newborn, an activity table configuration for infant and a sling chair configuration for a toddler (see
FIGS. 2-4 ). For example, to accommodate a newborn child not yet capable or ready to sit independently, thebottom plate 130 of the children's activity system can be used as a play mat, as shown inFIG. 2 . Thebottom plate 130 includes a first, upholsteredside 132 and a second, hard-surface side 134. When used separately and alone, thebottom plate 130 can be placed on the support surface with theupholstered side 132 facing up wherein the upholstered side provides a safe and padded area for the child to play and rest. - As the child grows, the children's activity system can be converted to a
chair configuration 160, as shown inFIG. 3 , to accommodate toddlers and older children. According to example embodiments, in the chair configuration, theseat platform 140 is replaced with achair insert 148. In example embodiments, thechair insert 148 is removably secured to thetop frame 122. In example embodiments, thechair insert 148 comprises a fabric or mesh material attached to and surrounded by an outer frame. Generally, the fabric or mesh material is adapted to support the child in a seated position and may be elastic or nonelastic. In thechair configuration 160, thebottom plate 130 andsuspension members 138 may be removed from thebase 120 without affecting the functionality of the chair. To provide a more comfortable seating angle for the child user, extension members may be inserted between respective vertical posts (for example, post 124 b) of eachleg 124 and thetop frame 122 whereby one side of thetop frame 122 is positioned lower to the support surface than the opposite side of the top frame (i.e., the side of thetop frame 122 supported byvertical posts 124 a is lower than the opposite side of thetop frame 122 supported byvertical posts 124 b as depicted inFIG. 3 ). - Alternatively, the activity system can be converted to an activity table configuration 170, as shown in
FIG. 4 . According to example embodiments, in the activity table configuration, theseat platform 140 is replaced with thebottom plate 130 wherein thebottom plate 130 is removably secured to thetop frame 122 with the hard-surface side 134 facing up. The hard-surface tabletop 134 provides an area on which the child or user can partake in a variety of activities, such as for example writing, drawing, playing with toys, eating, studying, etc. To prevent rocking and provide stability in the table, chair or jumper configurations, feet orwedges 126 may be detachably secured to the underside ofcrossmembers 124 c. - In another example form, the present disclosure relates to a modular children's activity system comprising a plurality of interchangeable and/or reconfigurable modular components which, alone or in different combinations, can be arranged to construct or form a variety of children's accessories such as, for example, a jumper, a baby mat, an activity table and/or a chair. The modular activity system provides a convenient and efficient system capable of providing a variety of accessories and furniture to accommodate the needs of a child as the child grows from a newborn to an infant to a toddler and beyond. In example embodiments, the modular activity system comprises at least a top insert, a body frame adapted to receive the top insert, a bottom plate suspended from the body frame, and a plurality of suspension components. In example embodiments, the top insert, body frame, bottom plate and plurality of suspension components, alone or in combinations thereof, can be rearranged to form the children's jumper, activity table, chair and/or baby mat. In example embodiments, the top insert comprises a rigid panel with a seat adapted for a child embedded or integrated therein. The rigid panel is surrounded by an outer frame configured to be releasably mated or mounted to the body frame. In some example embodiments, the top insert includes an elastic panel comprising an elastic fabric and/or an elastomeric mesh membrane, and the seat is suspended from the outer frame by the elastic panel. Additionally, according to example embodiments of the present disclosure, the bottom plate includes an upholstered side and a hard-top side. Accordingly, the bottom plate can function as a play mat wherein the upholstered side provides a safe and padded area for a child to play and rest. Alternatively, the hard-top side of the bottom plate can also function as a tabletop when placed on the body frame. In some example embodiments, the modular baby gear system may include additional components such as for example a top insert comprising a fabric or mesh panel tensioned between an outer frame and adapted to support a child thereon in a seated position, for example, like a sling chair.

Theseat platform 240 is mounted on and supported by the plurality oflegs 224 over thetabletop frame 226. A child-seat 248 is attached or otherwise mounted to theinner ring 246 whereby the child-seat is supported and suspended over the support surface by theelastomeric mesh panel 244. - In the
activity table configuration 260, as shown inFIG. 6 , theseat platform 240 is removed and thebase frame 220 is placed on the support surface with the plurality oflegs 224 contacting the support surface and supporting thetabletop frame 226 above the support surface. In example embodiments, thetabletop frame 226 defines an opening configured to receive and retain atabletop insert 230. Thetabletop insert 230 comprises anupholstered side 232 and a hard-top side 234. For use with the activity table 260, thetabletop insert 230 is secured to the opening in thetabletop frame 226 with the hard-top side 234 facing up. Alternatively, thetabletop insert 230 can be replaced with theseat platform 240 to provide an entertainment center, as best shown inFIG. 8 . The elastomeric mesh panel comprises a plurality of cell openings or gaps adapted to releasably hold a variety of children's toys and accessories A. In other example embodiments, as shown inFIG. 9 , thetabletop insert 230 can be used alone as a play mat such that theupholstered side 232 provides a padded and safe area for an infant or child to play and/o rest. - As shown in
FIG. 7 , the plurality oflegs 224 are generally titled or slanted with respect to thetabletop frame 230. Thelegs 224 are optionally configured to rotate about an axis B transverse to thetabletop frame 230. Therefore, when thelegs 224 are rotated about axis B, the free ends of thelegs 224 are configured to follow circular trajectories allowing the legs to be configured such that they spread down and out in any configuration, for example inwardly or outwardly directed at an oblique, acute or obtuse angle, or at a right angle, relative to the tabletop. For example, in the activity table configuration, as shown inFIG. 6 , thelegs 224 are rotated outward to form a wider base at the free ends of thelegs 224. In the jumper configurations, as shown inFIG. 5 , the free ends oflegs 224 are rotated inwards and coupled to theseat platform 240 such that the legs tilt outwards closer to the support surface. The wider footprint near the support surface in both configurations ensures better stability. -
