(15) The seat cushion 50 includes a hipseat detachably disposed on the carrier body 40. The hipseat includes a support portion 10 and a bearing portion 20. The support portion 10 and the bearing portion 20 are rotatably connected and formed into a foldable body through a switch button 30. The foldable body is sleeved in a cover 52 to form the seat cushion 50 disposed on the carrier body 40.

(16) The hipseat includes the support portion 10 and the bearing portion 20. The support portion 10 and the bearing portion 20 are rotatably connected through the switch button 30.

(17) The support portion 10 and the bearing portion 20 are in a hollow open ring shape to sufficiently reduce the weight and size of the hipseat.

(18) An end portion of the support portion 10 is fixed to a support connection base 33, and an end portion of the bearing portion 20 is fixed to a bearing connection base 36.

(19) A left switch button 30A and a right switch button 30B are respectively provided on two sides of the support portion 10. It is required to simultaneously press the left switch button 30A and the right switch button 30B to operate. If only one of the left switch button 30A and the right switch button 30B is pressed, the other one would still be locked and the operation would be failed.

(20) The switch button 30 includes a connection shaft 34. The connection shaft 34 is a pin. The pin sequentially passes through the support connection base 33, a switch control lock 32 and a spring 31, and the bearing connection base 36.

(21) In other embodiments, it may be that the pin sequentially passes through the bearing connection base, the switch control lock and the spring, and then screwed and fixed on the support connection base.

(22) The spring 31 is sleeved on the connection shaft 34 and abuts against the switch control lock 32 and the bearing connection base 36.

(23) The bearing connection base 36 may be rotated about the connection shaft 34.

(24) A plurality of engaging slots 323 are provided on the outer wall of the switch control lock 32. Correspondingly, a plurality of engaging blocks 363 are provided in the bearing connection base 36. The engaging blocks 363 are inserted into the engaging slots 323, such that the switch control lock 32 can be elastically moved in the movement direction of the spring 31 and inserted on the bearing connection base 36.

(25) The switch button 30 further includes a switch member 35. The switch member 35 has four legs 351. The four legs 351 are movably sleeved through the support connection base 33. A hook portion 352 protruded at the terminal end of the leg 351 is engaged with the support connection base 33 to ensure that the button member 35 does not fall out of the support connection base 33.

(26) The button member 35 passes through the support connection base 33 and then presses on the upper surface of the switch control lock 32. When the button member 35 is pressed, the switch control lock 32 moves toward the direction of the bearing connection base 36, then the spring 31 is compressed; when the button member 35 is released, the spring 31 drives the switch control lock 32 to reset.

(27) A position-limiting block 321 is provided on the outer wall of the switch control lock 32. The inner wall of the support connection base 33 is provided with two position-limiting recesses, which are a first position-limiting recess and a second position-limiting recess respectively, corresponding to each of the position-limiting block 321.

(28) When the position-limiting block 321 is in the second position-limiting recess, the position-limiting block 321 is stuck by the second position-limiting recess. The support portion 10 and the bearing portion 20 are in an open state with a certain angle as shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, and the support connection base 33 and the bearing connection base 36 cannot rotate relative to each other.

(29) When the button member 35 is pressed, the switch control lock 32 will move toward the direction of the bearing connection base 36. The position-limiting block 321 is detached from the second position-limiting recess, and the user can grab the support portion 10 and the bearing portion 20 to rotate relative to each other. When the position-limiting block 321 is rotated to the position of the first position-limiting recess, the spring 31 is restored and pushes the position-limiting block 321 into the first position-limiting recess. The support portion 10 and the bearing portion 20 are in the closed state.

(30) It requires the user to simultaneously press the button members 35 of the left switch button 30A and the right switch button 30B to change the support portion 10 and the bearing portion 20 from the open state into the closed state, which can prevent the weight of the baby or external force from accidentally causing the support portion 10 and the bearing portion 20 to be closed and resulting in danger.

(31) The position-limiting block 321 has a first inclined surface 3211, and the first inclined surface 3211 faces the bearing connection base 36. The wall of the first position-limiting recess is provided with a second inclined surface 3311, and the second inclined surface 3311 faces the switch control lock 32. When the position-limiting block 321 is in the first position-limiting recess, the support portion 10 and the bearing portion 20 are in a closed state; as shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, on this occasion the first inclined surface 3211 and the second inclined surface 3311 are attached together.

(32) If the support portion 10 and the bearing portion 20 are forcefully pulled apart, both of the support connection base 33 and the bearing connection base 36 are subjected to relative rotating pulling force, and the pulling force is transmitted to the first inclined surface 3211 from the second inclined surface 3311. The first inclined surface 3211 and the second inclined surface 3311 will slide relative to each other, such that the switch control lock 32 compresses the spring 31 and moves toward the direction of the bearing connection base 36 until the position-limiting block 321 of the switch control lock 32 is detached from the first position-limiting recess. Both of the support connection base 33 and the bearing connection base 36 begin rotating relative to each other until rotating to the position where the position-limiting block 321 corresponds to the second position-limiting recess. The spring 31 springs the position-limiting block 321 into the second position-limiting recess, which turns into the state that the position-limiting block 321 is stuck by the second position-limiting recess, and the support portion 10 and the bearing portion 20 are in an open state with a certain angle.

(33) Accordingly, there is no need to press the button member 35 to change the support portion 10 and the bearing portion 20 from the closed state into the open state, it requires directly pulling open only, so the operation is convenient. When carrying the baby, the hipseat can be opened just in time.

(34) The support portion 10 and the bearing portion 20 of the hipseat are covered in a cover 52. The cover 52 is formed into a seat surface so the baby can sit thereon, which provides sufficient a support area and support force for the baby.

(35) At least one end portion 53 of the cover 52 is provided with a velcro tape or zipper 54 for connection, such that the bearing portion 20 is sleeved in the end portion 53. The other end portion 55 is a sleeve with one end being open, such that the support portion 10 is sleeved in the end portion 55. The two end portions are connected through an elastic material such as an elastic strap 56 so as to have elasticity and spreadability.

(36) The surface material covering the end portion 55 of the support portion 10 has a cushion therein to form a structure with certain hardness for the baby to sit thereon.
