Orthopedic baby seat

An orthopedic baby seat comprising:

• a relatively inflexible base, with a triangular planar cushion comprising a resiliently flexible support material, wherein the base with cushion tapers towards a front end of the base to provide a fish-tail shaped planar configuration, wherein the base with cushion is dimensioned and configured to receive and support a baby's bottom thereon;
• a back support, adapted to extend upwardly from and at least partially around the base in a substantially C-formation to a height of at least a bottom of the baby's ribcage, with an opening of the C-formation directed towards the front end of the seat, wherein the back support comprises
• at least one layer of at least a partially flexible sheet material having a number of spaced, upwardly extending retaining formations, and
• a number of elongated battens, retained by the retaining formations and extending longitudinally upwardly from the base;
• rendering the back support relatively rigid co-extensively with the battens and relatively flexible transversely to the battens to provide a substantially rigid support vertically and flexible support, laterally to the baby occupying the seat;
• two opposing leg openings, extending outwardly from the base;
• and
• two opposed, cushioned thigh support formations, separating the base from the two leg openings, dimensioned and configured to allow hips of the baby to fall and spread naturally apart to the side, with thighs of the baby at least partially supported towards knee joints of the baby with his hips and knees bent, allowing legs of the baby to spread outwardly in a supported manner while moving relatively freely in the seat.
