Benefits of technology

[0009]The present invention is intended to provide restaurants and public eating areas with a collapsible high chair that is easy and safe to carry, convenient to store, and safe for a child to use.

Problems solved by technology

Most restaurant high chairs do not contain a tray because it would take up more space, be harder to clean, and be more difficult to store.
However, they are difficult to carry, take up a large amount of space when stored, and break easily.
Because restaurant high chairs do not collapse, they are difficult to carry.
Without these pieces, carrying the high chair is supposed to be more ergonomic, however, it neglects to consider that the person carrying the high chair would have to walk partially between the front legs 31 and back legs 32, which could result in tripping and injury.
Additionally, restaurant high chairs must be stored in areas that are often difficult to access, like restrooms or back storage areas.
Transporting high chairs from these areas is inefficient and inconvenient for employees seating customers.
Finally, traditional restaurant high chair designs are not generally conducive to safe storage and transport.
Because current restaurant high chairs do not collapse, it is difficult to bend one's legs while lifting them, creating the potential for back injury.
Moreover, it is easy for hands and fingers to get pinched in between restaurant high chairs when they are being stacked.
In addition, stacking increases wear and damages joints, reducing the safety of the chairs and necessitating frequent replacement.

Abstract

A restaurant and public eating area high chair is a high chair intended for use by infants and small children in restaurants and public eating areas. A restaurant and public eating area high chair consists of two front legs, two back legs, a seat, a backrest, a front bar, and side rails that are high enough to keep the child from falling off of the seat. The collapsible restaurant and public eating area high chair is comprised of the same parts as prior art restaurant and public eating area high chairs, but is built in such a way so that it can fold flat. Folding flat makes the restaurant and public eating area high chair easy to carry, easy to store, and safer to use than prior art restaurant and public eating area high chairs.
