An infant support structure may have multiple deployed configurations or orientations and a collapsed configuration or orientation. The infant support structure may include a support frame having a platform, a seat portion, and legs coupled to the platform. The infant support structure may also include a flexible material coupled to a support member that is engageable with each of the legs. In one deployed configuration or orientation, an infant can be placed in the seat portion. In another deployed configuration or orientation, an infant can be placed in a receptacle or play area formed by the flexible material. To facilitate transportation and storage, the infant support structure can be manipulated to a collapsed configuration.

The convertible child high-chair and step stool can include a frame having a front leg stand and a rear leg stand. A height adjustment mechanism can be coupled to the front leg stand or the rear leg stand and can be adjustable along the vertical axis of the front leg stand or the rear leg stand from a raised position to a lowered position. The apparatus can also include a booster seat and removable platform step. In the raised position, the booster seat can be coupled to the height adjustment mechanism to provide a high chair. In the lowered position, the booster seat can be removed and the removable platform step can be coupled to the height adjustment mechanism and the frame to provide a step stool. The apparatus can also include wheel assemblies coupled to the frame that limit the potential for tip hazards in the step stool configuration.

An infant bed and chair that includes: a base; a back support attached to the base; and at least one vertical support attached to an underside of the back support, wherein the at least one vertical supports enable vertical elevation of the back support. The infant bed and chair may further include slit openings along an inner surface of the back support and along an inner surface of the base. Preferably, the infant bed and chair may include a cushion. In one particular embodiment, the at least one vertical support elevates the back support to about a 30-degree angle.

A multipurpose infant positioning device that includes a lower pad with front and back surfaces, wings attached to lateral sides of the lower pad and a bottom flap attached to the bottom portion of the lower pad. At least one of the wings and bottom flap have fastening segments attached thereto for adjustably attaching these components to portions of the lower pad. The fastened wing and bottom flap are made of a material having sufficient resiliency to maintain and bring an infant back to flexed midline position within the infant positioning device. These infant positioning devices may further include a headpiece, brim, pocket at the back surface of the lower pad and a detachable readjustable multipurpose pillow for positioning the infant from and between supine, prone and side-lying positions, all while maintaining and reinforcing the flexed midline position of the infant for normal development.

Several embodiments of a new concealable bed system, which comprises a new combination of a folding bed assembly (112), a drawer assembly (110), and a drawer support-and-control assembly (120)are disclosed. The embodiments allow the space-savings and convenience of sleeper sofas to be extended to a wide variety of other furniture types or other constructions, including but not limited to desks, entertainment centers, cabinets, closets, etc. In the closed position, the embodiments can look like any other drawer in a piece of furniture, custom millwork, etc., but when opened the folding bed assembly is exposed and can be easily deployed. Thus the new concealable bed system provides a more efficient, durable, and flexible option for concealing a bed than sleeper sofas, Murphy beds, trundle beds, roll-away beds, or inflatable beds.

A modular cradle system for children's gear includes a modular cradle assembly having a hinge frame, coupling hubs extending from the hinge frame, and a child receiving receptacle connectable with the hinge frame. The modular cradle system can be detachably coupled to various gear product bases such as a rocker base, swing, highchair, bassinet, play yard or other desired product base.

A convertible bassinet including a mobile support enabling selective movement about a supporting surface and a braking apparatus providing the ability to secure the mobile support in a laterally fixed position on the surface. The mobile support also includes a vertical adjustment mechanism enabling the height of the bassinet to be altered by a user. The bassinet further includes a top perimeter frame with a position actuator for varying the height of the top perimeter frame above a child supporting surface. When in an uppermost position the perimeter frame defines a bassinet. A changing table surface is defined when the perimeter frame is repositioned to a lowermost position. Resilient connectors between the position actuator and the perimeter frame members allow the top perimeter frame to move from the uppermost position to the lowermost position independent of movement of the position actuator.

A play yard includes a frame body having first and second sides, a bassinet, a strap and a connecting unit. The bassinet is disposed between the first and second sides, includes a backrest and has a lower end portion attached to the frame body, and an upper end portion mounted with the backrest. The strap has a fixed end fastened to the first side, and a free end connected to the second side, and supports the upper end portion. The connecting unit connects the free end to the second side such that an effective length of the strap between a portion of the strap disposed within the connecting unit and the fixed end is adjustable to change an inclination of the backrest when the free end moves relative to the connecting unit.
