Child entertainment assembly
A child entertainment assembly for mounting toys to a wheelchair includes a frame that is mountable to a wheelchair to extend over a child that is seated in the wheelchair. A pair of clamps is each of the clamps is coupled to the frame for mounting the frame on the wheelchair. A winch is rotatably integrated into the frame and a plurality of cables is each coupled to the winch. A plurality of toys is each coupled to a respective one of the cables such that each of the toys is accessible to the child that is seated in the wheelchair. Each of the toys is drawn upwardly toward the central member when the winch is rotated in a first direction. Conversely, each of the toys is lowered from the central member when the winch is rotated in a second direction.
Infant tummy time kit
A tummy time support for infants has a wedge-shaped support having a flat bottom surface, a top surface inclined at a first angle in a range of about 8 to about 20 relative to the bottom surface, a front side at the peak of the incline, a rear side at the base of the incline. In a top view thereof, the front side has two concave recesses positioned proximate shoulder positions of an infant and the rear side has a single elongate concave recess with a peak centered between the two concave recesses. Kits are disclosed that have of a mat having a first fastener and a first tummy time support having a second faster releasably mutable to the first fastener. The kit can include a toy support and a second tummy time support that is bigger or smaller than the first tummy time support.
ADAPTIVE SENSORY OUTPUTS SYNCHRONIZED TO INPUT TEMPOS FOR SOOTHING EFFECTS
Sensory outputs are synchronized to input tempos for providing soothing and other effects for children and other persons. In example embodiments, juvenile products such as rockers and swings have motors that are controlled to produce an oscillatory motion with an adaptive tempo that is synchronized to rhythmic inputs such as a parent's heartbeat. In other example embodiments, juvenile products such as music players are controlled to output signals to play songs via speakers with an adaptive tempo that is synchronized to rhythmic inputs such as an infant's respiratory rate.
Reconfigurable infant play mats and displays
An infant play mat with a flexible central mat portion having a fabric surface that forms a first infant play area including multiple flexible flaps. The infant play mat has a polygonal perimeter with multiple straight edges, with two of the edges defining a corner therebetween. Multiple flexible flaps extend from a respective one of the perimeter edges and define a fold line. Each flap has an upper flap surface exposed when the flap is extended, and hidden when the play mat is folded at the fold line to cover a region of the central mat portion. The central mat portion and lower surfaces of the flaps together form a second infant play area when the play mat is folded at all of the fold lines.
Portable lounge
A plush children's lounge is provided. The lounge includes a sidewall connected to a base. The lounge is convertible between an open configuration and a closed configuration and a fastener is provided. When the fastener is connected, the lounge defines a closed configuration having a reduced length and suitable for portability. Backpack straps are provided so that the lounge can be carried on the back. The sidewall is resilient such that the lounge springs into the open configuration when the fastener is released. When in the open configuration, a child can recline inside the lounge. Scallops in the sidewall serve as a headrest for the lounger and a plush toy head with eyes is connected to the lounge such that the child can see the plush toy while lying in the lounge. The lounge further includes arms and legs that resemble an animal or other creature.
Placemat anchor and tether system
In some embodiments, a system comprises a mat body characterized by a front side, a back side and a thickness; a plurality of anchors, each anchor comprising an anchor block having an aperture characterized by an aperture diameter, a suction cup having a sealing surface and an outer surface, and a stem that is coaxial with the suction cup and connects the suction cup to the anchor block. Each anchor may be disposed through the thickness, such that its anchor block is on the front side and its suction cup extends from the back side. The system may further comprise an elongated tether that is removably coupleable to one of the plurality of anchors, and the elongated tether may comprise an anchor end having a generally spherical anchor terminus characterized by an anchor diameter that is greater than the aperture diameter.
Transformable Teething Toy
A transformable teething toy comprising a first hub and a second hub. Resilient flexible rods connect the first hub to the second hub such that the inner surfaces of the first and second hubs are oriented to face towards each other. The teething toy is further transformable between an open position and a closed position. In the open position, the first and second hubs are spaced apart from each other by the resilient flexible rods to form an expanded structure. In the closed position, the resilient flexible rods are bent such that the expanded structure is collapsed and the inner surfaces of the first and second hubs are releasably engaged with each other.
SEGMENTED TOY BAR FOR CHILDRENS ACCESSORIES
A segmented toy bar assembly includes multiple toy bar segments connected by couplings that allow for reconfiguration between an expanded configuration defining an expanded length and a compact configuration having a compact length that is substantially less than the expanded length. The toy bar segments may take the form of flexible members having a cross-sectional width at least two times the cross-sectional thickness, to allow the expanded toy bar to flex into an arch for placement over a play mat or other children's accessory. Toys may be suspended from the erected toy bar for play and entertainment.
Modular wearable mobile and toy accessory system
A modular mobile and accessory system, includes a flexible rod made of an elongated flexible member wrapped with a relatively softer material. The flexible rod has end caps on either or both ends, which end caps releasably engage corresponding accessory caps on an accessory, such as a toy or other item. The system includes a wearable headband for handsfree use of a toy or mobile to entertain a child. Other uses are contemplated, such as attaching the rod to a claw element which is secured to a crib or other fixed surface or element.
