Abstract

A collapsible foldable infant chair has a flexible seating member, a flexible backrest, a pair of flexible arm rests, a flexible tray stretchable between the armrests, and a foldable support frame made of a plurality of leg rods secured at the bottom ends to bottom leg support members and secured at their upper portions with leg brackets. The seating member, the backrest, the armrests and the tray assembly collapse when the chair is moved into the folded position, while the leg rods pivot for orienting in a generally parallel orientation when the chair is moved into the folded position. The folded chair fits into a storage bag for storage and transportation.

This type of furniture should be lightweight, easily collapsible and be suitable for use both indoors and outdoors.[0003]The pre...
