## Abstract

A mobile child support and entertainment device includes a base panel having roller elements for rolling support along a support surface, an upper support body having a seat positioned generally centrally therein for receiving a child, and at least one support leg extending between the base panel and the upper support body. The device allows a caregiver to move the child in the device from location to location, and provides entertainment and activity for the child. Embodiments of the device are configured for ease of maneuverability and access.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A mobile child support and entertainment device comprising:
a base comprising a plurality of roller elements providing rolling movement of the mobile child support and entertainment device along a support surface, and a panel configured to prevent feet of a child positioned in the mobile child support and entertainment device from reaching the support surface and moving the mobile child support and entertainment device along the support surface;
an upper support body supported at a height above the base, the upper support body comprising a seat positioned above the panel of the base for receiving the child positioned in the mobile child support and entertainment device; and
a handle configured for a caregiver to move the mobile child support and entertainment device along the support surface.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The mobile child support and entertainment device of claim 1, wherein the height at which the upper support body is supported above the base enables the feet of the child positioned in the mobile child support and entertainment device to push on the panel of the base.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The mobile child support and entertainment device of claim 1, wherein the handle is repositionable relative to the upper support body between a first position extending away from the upper support body for the caregiver to push or pull the mobile child support and entertainment device along the support surface, and a second position proximal the child seated in the mobile child support and entertainment device.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The mobile child support and entertainment device of claim 1, wherein the roller elements are configured to allow rolling movement of the mobile child support and entertainment device along the support surface in a direction of motion, and wherein the handle extends from the mobile child support and entertainment device in alignment with the direction of motion.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The mobile child support and entertainment device of claim 4, wherein the base has a maximum widthwise dimension transverse to the direction of motion of less than about 28″.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The mobile child support and entertainment device of claim 1, wherein the upper support body is supported above the base by a plurality of support members.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The mobile child support and entertainment device of claim 6, wherein at least one of the plurality of support members is extensible, to allow adjustment of the height at which the upper support body is supported above the base.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The mobile child support and entertainment device of claim 1, further comprising at least one elastically resilient element providing bouncing of the upper support body relative to the base in response to movement of the child.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The mobile child support and entertainment device of claim 1, wherein the seat is rotationally mounted within the upper support body.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The mobile child support and entertainment device of claim 1, wherein the upper support body comprises a tray positioned at least partially around the seat.

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

The mobile child support and entertainment device of claim 10, further comprising at least one entertainment accessory attached to the tray.

### Claim 12 (depends on 1)

### Claim 13

A mobile child support and entertainment device comprising:
a base comprising a panel with a plurality of roller elements mounted thereto; and
a seat supported above the base for receiving a child, wherein the seat is positioned directly over the panel of the base such that the child can push their feet against the panel but the panel prevents the child from self-propelling the mobile child support and entertainment device along an underlying support surface; and
a play area comprising entertainment accessories positioned around the seat.

### Claim 14 (depends on 13)

The mobile child support and entertainment device of claim 13, further comprising a handle configured for a caregiver to grasp and propel the mobile child support and entertainment device along the underlying support surface.

### Claim 15 (depends on 14)

The mobile child support and entertainment device of claim 14, wherein the handle is pivotally repositionable between a first position extending away from the seat for use by the caregiver in propelling the mobile child support and entertainment device, and a second position over the play area for child interaction.

### Claim 16 (depends on 13)

The mobile child support and entertainment device of claim 13, wherein the seat is rotationally mounted within an upper support body, and wherein the play area substantially surrounds the seat.

### Claim 17 (depends on 13)

The mobile child support and entertainment device of claim 13, further comprising at least one support element between the base and the seat.

### Claim 18 (depends on 17)

The mobile child support and entertainment device of claim 17, wherein the at least one support element is extensible, to allow adjustment of a height at which the seat is supported above the base.
