Abstract
A seat assembly for infant chair includes a seat support frame, a rear and a front seat portion respectively connected with the seat support frame, and a weight-sensitive lock mechanism placed adjacent to the rear and front seat portions. The front seat portion is slidable relative to the rear seat portion along a lengthwise axis between an expanded state and a contracted state, the lengthwise axis extending from a front to a rear of the seat assembly, and the front and rear seat portion when in the expanded state defining a sitting surface adapted to receive a child. The weight-sensitive lock mechanism is activated by the placement of a load on the seat assembly to prevent displacement of the front seat portion relative to the rear seat portion from the expanded state to the contracted state. In one embodiment, the seat assembly including the weight-sensitive lock mechanism is implemented in an infant high chair.
