A seat structure for a baby or young infant that can facilitate an anterior pelvic tilt and hip abduction, while supporting the infant in an upright position. The infant seat structure described herein comprises a seat that is forward tilted. A pommel is provided at a forward edge of the seat that is wide enough to splay the infant's legs, provides support for the infant, and maintains their position in the seat structure. The infant seat structure also includes a back support and side supports to support the infant's/baby's upright position. The side supports do not extend substantially forward past the infant's hip joints, and therefore allow for substantial splaying of their legs. A infant's legs are able to project outwardly from the seat structure on either side of the pommel, through the two spaces that are each situated between the pommel and side supports.
A seat structure for an infant, said seat structure comprising a base having a lower support surface, a seat oppositely directed to said support surface, a pommel upstanding from the seat and located at a forward edge of the seat, a back support, and side supports extending about said seat to support an infant in an upright position, said side supports terminating prior to the pommel to provide a space to either side of the pommel to permit an infant's legs to project outwardly from the seat structure on either side of the pommel, said seat being forwardly inclined to converge toward said support surface in the direction of the forward edge of the seat.
