The back is angularly adjustable relative to the seat and the foot rest is angularly adjustable relative to the seat. The body support assembly is rockable as a unit relative to the frame to enable the entire assembly to occupy any one of a member of tilted positions. The body support assembly may be removed as a unit from the frame for use as a car seat or the like.
