Infant car seat support assembly

An infant car seat support assembly comprising:

• a pair of support members, each support member having a pair of legs and a cross member extending between upper ends of said pair of legs, at least one of said cross members being adapted for securely engaging an infant car seat clip positioned proximate a back of an infant car seat for supporting said infant car seat in an elevated position, said support members being pivotally coupled to each other such that said cross members are pivotable with respect to each other between a collapsed position and an open position, a support bar extending between the pair of legs of each of the support members;
• and
• a spanning assembly for removably linking the cross members of said pair of legs, said spanning assembly having opposite ends defining a length of said spanning assembly therebetween, each end being couplable to a respective one of said cross members for restricting movement of said cross members away from each other a distance greater than the length of said spanning assembly when said support members are moved into said open position, said spanning assembly comprising:
• a strap extending between the ends of said spanning assembly, a first end portion of said strap being formed into a loop looped about a first one of said cross members for securing said strap to said first cross member, said first end portion being mounted to an intermediate portion of said strap to form said loop;
• a slide buckle being slidably mounted on said strap between said first end portion and a second end portion of said strap, said second end portion being mounted on said slide buckle such that said second end portion is slidably mounted on said strap to form a loop having an adjustable perimeter size;
• a clip assembly mounted on the strap in a manner permitting sliding of said clip assembly along said strap, said clip assembly comprising:
• a base loop having a portion of said strap extending therethrough;
• and
• a clip swivelly mounted on said base loop;
• a ring being mounted on a second one of said cross members, said ring being adapted for being removably engaged by said clip of said clip assembly, said ring being mounted on said second cross member by a band looped about said second cross member;
• and
• a ground engaging member mounted on a lower end of each of the legs of said support members, wherein each ground engaging member is removably mounted on the lower end of one of said legs of said support members for permitting removal and replacement of said ground engaging member;
• wherein each of said ground engaging members comprises a caster wheel assembly, each caster wheel assembly comprising:
• a base member;
• a pair of wheels rotatably mounted on said base member with each of said pair of wheels being mounted on opposite sides of said base member;
• and
• a mounting member mounted on said base member and being adapted for removably mounting on the lower end of one of said legs, said mounting member being rotatably mounted on said base member for rotation about a first axis, said mounting member being mountable on the lower end of one of said legs such that said first axis is substantially collinear with a longitudinal axis of said leg so that said base member and said at least one wheel rotates about the longitudinal axis of said leg, said mounting member having a portion insertable into the lower end of one of said legs;
• wherein at least two of said caster wheel assemblies comprise locking caster wheel assemblies, each locking caster wheel assembly having a locking mechanism for preventing rotation of said wheel about a substantially horizontal axis for preventing movement of said support assembly.

An infant car seat support assembly comprising:

• a pair of support members, each support member having a pair of legs and a cross member extending between upper ends of said pair of legs, at least one of said cross members being adapted for securely engaging an infant car seat clip positioned proximate a back of an infant car seat for supporting said infant car seat in an elevated position, said support members being pivotally coupled to each other such that said cross members are pivotable with respect to each other between a collapsed position and an open position;
• and
• a spanning assembly for removably linking the cross members of said pair of legs, said spanning assembly having opposite ends defining a length of said spanning assembly therebetween, each end being couplable to a respective one of said cross members for restricting movement of said cross members away from each other a distance greater than the length of said spanning assembly when said support members are moved into said open position,
• wherein said spanning assembly comprises:
• a strap extending between the ends of said spanning assembly, a first end portion of said strap being formed into a loop looped about a first one of said cross members for securing said strap to said first cross member;
• and
• a slide buckle being slidably mounted on said strap between said first end portion and a second end portion of said strap, said second end portion being mounted on said slide buckle such that said second end portion is slidably mounted on said strap to form a loop having an adjustable perimeter size.
