Abstract

A collapsible child support apparatus includes a frame supporting a seat for the child, the frame and the seat having an open condition for seating a child in the seat and a collapsed condition. The frame includes left and right frame assemblies, each frame assembly comprising a front member, a rear member and a handle member pivotally mounted together by a hinge member to allow pivotal movement of the frame members between open and collapsed conditions. The seat includes a seat base supported by the front frame members, a seat back suspended to the handle members and a seat pivot to allow the seat back and seat base to pivot between open and closed conditions, wherein the seat back is suspended to the handle members to allow the seat back to pivot to any one of a plurality of reclined positions relative to the seat base in the open condition. Each frame assembly comprises a strut of fixed length which is connected between the seat pivot and the handle member for resisting movement of the seat pivot relative to the frame in the open condition.
