first embodiment
[0060]The tray 50 may be removably attached to the front post 20 via mating male and female members 60, 62 (see FIGS. 4 and 5) of a first embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 2-6. The male member 60 may be secured to the underside 64 of the tray 50 with screws 66, as shown in FIG. 5. The male member 60 may have two outwardly biased flexible levers 68. Lateral sides of the levers 68 may have at least one tooth 70 which is engageable with a toothed slot 71 of the female member 62. The levers 68 may be squeezed inwardly by depressing distal portions 72 (see FIG. 5) of the lever 68, as shown in FIG. 6. By depressing the levers 68, the teeth 70 of the levers 68 are also inwardly displaced. When the distal ends of the levers 68 are released, the teeth 70 and the levers 68 are outwardly displaced.
[0061]The male member 60 may have inwardly directed flanges 74 (see FIGS. 3 and 5) which are mateable with outwardly directed flanges 76 (see FIGS. 3 and 4) of the female member 62. The outwardly directe...
second embodiment
[0065]In another aspect, the tray 50 may be replaced with a pommel 52, as shown in FIG. 8. FIG. 8 illustrates the infant seat 10. The pommel 52 may have a bulbous configuration and a soft exterior surface to prevent the infant 12 from hurting himself or herself when grabbing the pommel 52. The pommel 52 may extend laterally outward from the front post 20 and be disposed at least partially over the grooves 28 formed by the front post 20, seat rest 14 and the two side supports 18. In this manner, the baby when seated in the infant seat 10 may find it difficult to lift himself or herself out of the infant seat 10 because the space between the pommel 52 and the side supports 18 may be less than an outer diameter of the infant's legs 30. More particularly, the pommel 52 may extend laterally outward such that an outer periphery 80 of the pommel 52 and the two side supports 18 define a distance which is less than the outer diameter of the infant's leg. In this manner, the pommel 52 creates...
third embodiment
[0067]FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view of a pommel 52 removably attachable to the front post 20 illustrating a The pommel 52 is removably attachable to the front post 20 via a male member 82 attached to the pommel 52 and a female member 86 attached to the front post 20. The male member 82 may comprise a left lever 84a and a right lever 84b which are traversable between a relaxed position and a depressed position. Preferably, the left lever 84a may have a mirror configuration compared to the right lever 84b. The left and right levers 84a, 84b may be outwardly biased and inwardly displaceable by depressing finger receiving surfaces 88 of the left and right levers 84a, 84b. Distal ends of the left and right levers 84a, 84b may have pawls 90 attached thereto. The pawls 90 may have a beveled surface 92 which cooperates with the female member 86 to inwardly displace the left and right levers 84a, 84b when attaching the pommel 52 to the front post 20. The pawls 90 may be removably engagea...
