A suspension-safety support system for a child support apparatus comprising a support frame and a seat platform or seat configured for receiving a child therein, the suspension-safety support system comprising:
- one or more suspension support systems configured for suspending the seat platform from the support frame such that the seat platform is moveable relative to the support frame,
- wherein the one or more suspension support systems comprise a primary support member and a secondary support member, and
- wherein the primary support member comprises a support strap and the secondary support member comprises a safety strap, wherein the safety strap is non-load bearing under normal operation and load bearing under failed operation.
A suspension-safety support system for a child activity apparatus having a frame and a child support platform, comprising:
- a primary support system having a first end and a second end opposite the first end;
- a secondary support system having a first end and a second end opposite the first end, wherein the secondary support system is non-load bearing under normal operation and load bearing under failed operation;
- a frame anchor bracket;
- and
- a platform anchor bracket,
- wherein the first ends of the primary and secondary support systems are secured to the frame anchor bracket and the second ends of the primary and secondary support systems are secured to the platform anchor bracket, and wherein the primary and secondary support systems are not directly connected or secured to one another.
A suspension-safety support system for a child activity apparatus comprising:
- a primary support member and a secondary support member, each configured for suspending a seat or a seat platform to a support frame,
- wherein the secondary support member comprises a safety strap, and
- wherein the primary support system comprises a first resilient member, a second resilient member, a third resilient member, and an elastic member, wherein the second resilient member and the elastic member extend between the first and third resilient members,
- wherein the primary support member is configured for engagement under normal operating conditions and the secondary support member is configured for engagement under failed operating conditions when the primary support member fails.
