Abstract
A head support for a pushchair comprises a support section, a seat connection section and a back support. The support section forms a U-shape and comprises an armature, comprising sides, that provides stiffness to the support section. The seat connection section is coupled to the support section and is for connecting to the pushchair. The back support is connected to the support section or connectable to the support section and configured such that, when connected to the support section, it prevents the sides of the armature from dropping relative to the back support in use.

A head support for a collapsible pushchair of the type having a flexible seat portion configured to support an infant of up to about three years of age, the head support comprising:
- a support section that forms a U-shape and comprising an armature, formed of a band of material having a base portion and opposing sides, that provides stiffness to the support section;
- a seat connection section coupled to the support section and configured for connection to the pushchair, wherein the support section is coupled to the seat connection section and the seat connection section has a sliding mechanism that allows the position of the support section to move relative to the seat connection section by a sliding movement to facilitate adjustment of the head support in a vertical direction relative to the seat portion of the pushchair;
- and
- a stiff back support that is connected to the support section or connectable to the support section and configured such that, when connected to the support section, the back support prevents the sides of the armature from dropping relative to the back support in use, a back surface of the base portion of the armature contactingly engaging the back support during use of the head support.
A head support for a collapsible pushchair of the type having a flexible seat portion configured to support an infant of up to about three years of age, the head support comprising:
- a support section that forms a U-shape and comprising an armature, formed of a band of material having base portion and opposing sides, that provides stiffness to the support section;
- a seat connection section coupled to the support section and configured for connection to the pushchair, wherein the seat connection section comprises at least one connector at the front of the pushchair for connecting to a harness of the pushchair to facilitate adjustment of the head support in a vertical direction relative to the seat portion of the pushchair, the seat connection section further comprising at least one band for connecting to the pushchair, wherein each connector is attached to an end of a corresponding band;
- and
- a stiff back support that is connected to the support section or connectable to the support section and configured such that, when connected to the support section, the back support prevents the sides of the armature from dropping relative to the back support in use, a back surface of the base portion of the armature contactingly engaging the back support during use of the head support.

- and
- a hinge that attaches the armature to the back support to facilitate upwardly directed rotational movement of the armature away from the back support.
