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.

A children's accessory that is convertible between a highchair configuration and a stepstool. In the highchair configuration the device generally includes a first child seat supported above a floor by a highchair frame, and a second child seat configured for being removably coupled to the first child seat. The second child seat is configured such that, when detached from the highchair's first child seat, it can be used as a booster seat. In certain embodiments, the second child seat includes a base surface configured to stably support the second child seat on a separate support surface. In the stepstool configuration a support step platform is supported above the floor by the frame, and a back rail at the top of the frame provides further support for the user.

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.
