• a support portion having an opening for receiving a child and a seat having first and second apertures for accommodating the child's legs;
• a base being configured to engage a supporting surface;
• a post having a first end connected to and extending upwardly from the base and an opposite second end, the post having a longitudinal axis that passes through the opening;
• and
• a U-shaped connector connected to and extending upwardly from the second end of the post, the U-shaped connector having a first arm and a second arm, each of which is connected to the support portion, wherein the jumper/entertainer seat provides for movement of the child with respect to the supporting surface in only at least one of up and down vertical movement and rotary movement about the longitudinal axis.

An infant support structure comprising:

• a base;
• a connector including an upper portion and a lower portion, the upper portion having a first mounting portion and a second mounting portion, the lower portion being movably coupled to the base and having a longitudinal axis;
• and
• a support portion coupled to the connector, the support portion including a frame member and a support member coupled to the frame member, the frame member and the support member collectively defining an infant receiving opening having a center through which the longitudinal axis of the connector passes, the frame member being coupled to the first mounting portion and the second mounting portion, the support member including a first opening and a second opening, each of the first opening and the second opening being configured to receive a leg of an infant disposed in the infant receiving opening, and the first opening and the second opening being located on opposite sides of the connector and the first and second openings allowing the child's legs to extend out of and below the support member.

An infant support structure comprising:

• a seat support having an opening for receiving a child, the opening including a central axis;
• a base configured to engage a supporting surface;
• a post having a first end connected to the base and an opposite second end, the post extending upwardly from the base and having a longitudinal axis that is coaxially aligned with the central axis of the opening;
• a first arm and a second arm, each of the first arm and the second arm extending outwardly from the second end of the post and being connected to the seat support, thereby connecting the seat support to the base;
• and
• a guard member having a first end, an opposite second end, a first flap, and second flap, each of the first and second flaps having first and second opposite ends, the first end of the guard member coupled to the first arm and the second end of the guard member coupled to the second arm, the first end of the first flap coupled to the first end of the second flap, and the second end of the first flap coupled to the second end of the second flap.
