Abstract

Various embodiments of the present invention are directed to a height-adjustable, suspended child seating apparatus. According to various embodiments, the child seating apparatus includes a child support suspended from a support frame by a plurality of flexible members. In various embodiments, each flexible member includes a retaining member disposed proximate one of its ends that is configured for being inserted into one of a plurality of slots provided on the child support. By adjusting the position of the retaining members in the various slots, the effective length of the resilient members—and thereby the height of the child seat relative to the support frame—may be adjusted to accommodate children of different sizes.
