Convertible children's seat

#The present disclosure relates generally to the field of infant and children's gear, and more particularly to a rocker that is convertible into a children's seat or a children's bouncer.

#Children's supporting devices such as seats, rockers, bouncers, sleepers, bassinets, and the like are commonly used to hold infants and other small children during rest, play, and entertainment. Infants are supported in a supine position whereas toddlers and other small children are supported in a more inclined position. In some cases, a caregiver must acquire a new seat or rocker when the child grows from an infant to a toddler. Continuing developments and improvements are sought in the field of child seats and rockers that accommodate the seating position of both infants and toddlers.

#It is to the provision of a children's seat convertible between different modes meeting these and other needs that the present disclosure is primarily directed.

#FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a convertible children's seat according to an example embodiment.

#FIG. 2 is a bottom, side perspective view of the convertible children's seat of FIG. 1 according to an example embodiment, showing the convertible children's seat in a children's seat mode.

#FIG. 3A shows the convertible children's seat of FIG. 1 in a bouncer mode.

#The present disclosure may be understood more readily by reference to the following detailed description of example embodiments taken in connection with the accompanying drawing figures, which form a part of this disclosure. It is to be understood that this disclosure 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 disclosure. 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.

#With reference now to the drawing figures, wherein like reference numbers represent corresponding parts throughout the several views, FIGS. 1-4C show a plurality of examples of a convertible children's seat 100 that may be converted into a bouncer, a rocker, or a stationary seat according to example embodiments of the present disclosure.
