Child activity device

A child's bouncer receivable on a support surface comprising:

• a frame having an upper end and a lower end;
• a seat coupled to the frame upper end;
• a left and right support leg extending outwardly from said frame lower end, each of said left and right support legs including a support surface engaging end and a frame coupling end rotationally displaceable relative to said frame;
• and
• a biasing member coupled to each of said left and right support legs and positioned so as to bias each of said left and right support legs upwardly by rotational displacement of said left and right support legs frame coupling ends relative to said frame lower end.

A method for configuring a child's activity seat from a deployed position to a folded position, the child's activity seat including a seat coupled to a tray, a base support having an upper end and a lower end and a support frame supporting the activity seat in the deployed position, wherein when the activity seat is configured in the deployed position, a first connector fixes the tray to a base support and a second connector fixes the support frame to the base support, said method of configuring the activity seat from the deployed to folded positions comprising the steps of:

• releasing the first connector so as to permit rotational motion of the seat and tray relative to the base support;
• and
• rotating the seat and tray about a first axis so as to position the seat and tray from a generally horizontal, deployed position to a generally vertically, folded position.
• releasing the second connector so as to permit rotational motion of the support frame relative to the base support;
• and
• rotating the support flame about a second axis, substantially parallel to the first axis, so as to position the support frame from a generally horizontal, ground engaging position to a folded, vertical position wherein the support frame is positioned adjacent to the seat and tray.

A foldable activity center for entertaining a child, the activity center being placed on a support surface, comprising:

• a base frame extending vertically upwards from a lower end proximate to the support surface and terminating at an upper end;
• a supporting portion including a child's seat and an upper surface generally defining an activity area for a child placed in said seat, said upper surface defining a first plane;
• a coupling assembly securing said supporting portion to said base upper end, said coupling assembly being selectable between a closed position fixing said supporting portion relative to said base frame and an open position permitting rotation of said supporting portion relative to said base frame, wherein said rotation is within a second plane that is perpendicular to the first plane;
• wherein said coupling assembly includes a first and second engagement surface formed on said supporting portion and said frame upper end including a first and second mating surface for engaging said engagement surfaces, wherein said closed position corresponds to one of said first and second engagement surfaces being in mating contact with the corresponding one of said first and second mating surfaces and said open position corresponds to both of said first and second engagement surfaces being clear of said first and second mating surfaces.

• a base frame extending vertically upwards from a lower end proximate to the support surface and terminating at an upper end;
• a supporting portion including a child's seat and an upper surface generally defining an activity area for a child placed in said seat, said upper surface defining a first plane;
• a coupling assembly securing said supporting portion to said base upper end, said coupling assembly being selectable between a closed position fixing said supporting portion relative to said base frame and an open position permitting rotation of said supporting portion relative to said base frame, wherein said rotation is within a second plane that is perpendicular to the first plane;
• wherein said coupling assembly is configured in an open position, said supporting portion is rotatable between a generally horizontal position appropriate for placing a child in said seat and a stowed position corresponding to said supporting portion disposed in a generally vertical position.
