Abstract
Child support systems that include a support structure and a divider connected to the support structure for transitioning the support structure between an undivided space and a divided space is provided. The child support system may include a divider that may be connected to a bottom portion of a support structure and may transition between an upward position for dividing the usable space of the support structure and a downward position for leaving the useable space of the support structure in an undivided configuration. The divider may be secured using wings, velcro attachments and/or tabs.
