A rocker/bouncer for a child is provided. The rocker/bouncer includes a base, the base includes one or more rails on which the rocker/bouncer can rock when the base on placed on a ground surface; a seat for the child, the seat is coupled to the base by a resilient member, e.g. to permit bouncing of the seat relative to the base; and an adjustment member movably coupled to the base, the adjustment member is selectively movable between: a stowed position; a first deployed position, in which the adjustment member protrudes from the one or more rails towards the ground surface by a first distance; and a second deployed position, in which the adjustment member protrudes from the one or more rails towards the ground surface by a second distance different from the first distance.
Claims8
A rocker/bouncer for a child, the rocker/bouncer comprising:
- a base, wherein the base comprises one or more rails on which the rocker/bouncer can rock when the base is placed on a ground surface;
- a seat for the child, wherein the seat is coupled to the base by a resilient member;
- and
- an adjustment member movably coupled to the base, wherein the adjustment member is selectively movable between:
- a stowed position;
- a first deployed position, in which the adjustment member protrudes from the one or more rails towards the ground surface by a first distance;
- and
- a second deployed position, in which the adjustment member protrudes from the one or more rails towards the ground surface by a second distance different from the first distance;
- wherein the base comprises a foot portion, wherein when the adjustment member is in the stowed position, the rocker/bouncer is able to rock on the one or more rails between a first position in which the foot portion contacts the ground surface, and a second position, in which the foot portion does not contact the ground surface;
- wherein when the adjustment member is in the second deployed position, the adjustment member, the foot portion, or a portion of the base, on an opposite side of the foot portion from the adjustment member are configured to contact the ground surface simultaneously to resist rocking of the rocker/bouncer on the rails and support the seat in an inclined orientation;
- and
- wherein the portion of the base on the opposite side of the foot from the adjustment member is shaped such that the portion is in contact with the ground surface along a continuous length of the portion between the foot and a forward extent of the base.
