Further, the lock release member 121 can be switched between a locked state and a lock release state. The lock release member 121 has an engaging portion 1211 and a connecting portion 1212. At least a part of the lock release member 121 is located within the storage cavity 112. The portion of the lock release member 121 located within the storage cavity 112 forms the connecting portion 1212, and the connecting portion 1212 is pivotally connected to the cavity wall of the storage cavity 112. As shown in FIG. 10, when the lock release member 121 is in the locked state, the engaging portion 1211 is engaged with the horizontal rod 91. As shown in FIG. 8, when the lock release member 121 is in the lock release state, the horizontal rod 91 is disengaged from the engaging portion 1211. In this embodiment, the lock release member 121 has a first position and a second position. When the lock release member 121 is in the first position and in the locked state, the lock release member 121 can move from the locked state through the second position to the lock release state, and when the lock release member 121 is in the first position and in the lock release state, the lock release member 121 can move from the lock release state through the second position to the locked state, that is, as shown in FIG. 9, the second position of the lock release member 121 is a transition position passed by the lock release member 121 in the switching process between the locked state and the lock release state.
[0060] Specifically, the engaging portion 1211 has a first engaging surface 1213, and the engaging base 11 has a second engaging surface 113. When the unlocking member 121 is in the first position, the first engaging surface 1213 and the second engaging surface 113 face each other and surround to form the engaging groove 13. The horizontal rod 91 can be engaged between the first engaging surface 1213 and the second engaging surface 113, that is, the horizontal rod 91 can be engaged within the engaging groove 13. In some other unshown embodiments, the engaging portion 1211 may be provided with a hook portion, and when the unlocking member 121 is in the first position, the hook portion is engaged and connected to the horizontal rod 91. In this embodiment, further, the engaging portion 1211 has a wedge surface 1214, and the wedge surface 1214 is configured to be pressed against the horizontal rod 91 to pivot the unlocking member 121. The wedge surface 1214 and the first engaging surface 1213 are interconnected and provided at an angle. Thereby, it is not necessary to manually operate the unlocking member 121, and in the process of the horizontal rod 91 approaching the engaging base 11, the wedge surface 1214 can press against and pivot the unlocking member 121 (see FIG. 9), whereby the horizontal rod 91 is engaged with the engaging portion 1211.
[0061] As shown in FIGS. 8 to 10, the first elastic member 122 is configured to urge the unlocking member 121 to pivot the unlocking member 121 to the first position (i.e., the initial position). In the process of the horizontal rod 91 approaching the engaging base 11, the horizontal rod 91 presses against the wedge surface 1214 to pivot the unlocking member 121 to the second position. When the horizontal rod 91 continues to move to the engaging groove 13, the horizontal rod 91 no longer presses against the wedge surface 1214, and the unlocking member 121 pivots from the second position to the first position under the action of the elastic force of the first elastic member 122. In this embodiment, the first elastic member 122 includes a spring. The first elastic member 122 is housed within the storage cavity 112. A plurality of first protrusions 114 are provided on the cavity wall of the storage cavity 112, and the plurality of first protrusions 114 surround to form the accommodation groove 116. One end of the first elastic member 122 abuts against the unlocking member 121, and the other end is inserted into the accommodation groove 116, thereby avoiding displacement during the deformation process of the first elastic member 122.
[0062] As shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, the indicating member 123 is movably provided on the engagement base 11 and can be switched between at least two indicating states, thereby indicating a state of the unlocking member 121. The at least two indicating states include a first indicating state for the lateral rod 91 to indicate disengagement from the first engagement mechanism 12 and a second indicating state for the lateral rod 91 to indicate engagement with the first engagement mechanism 12. As shown in FIG. 11, the indicating member 123 is provided with indicating marks 1232 for indicating the at least two indicating states respectively. The indicating marks 1232 include a red mark for indicating the first indicating state and a green mark for indicating the second indicating state. Of course, in some other embodiments, it is possible to indicate at least two states with at least two other different indicating marks, as long as different indicating states can be distinguished. In this embodiment, the indicating member 123 is provided in the storage cavity 112, and the engagement base 11 is provided with an indicating window 117 for displaying any one of the indicating marks 1232. Specifically, when the lateral rod 91 (see FIG. 4) releases the engagement with the engaging portion 1211 (that is, when the lateral rod 91 is not engaged with the engaging portion 1211), the indicating member 123 is in the first indicating state. At this time, the red mark of the indicating member 123 is located at the indicating window 117. When the lateral rod 91 is engaged with the engaging portion 1211, the indicating member 123 switches from the first indicating state to the second indicating state. At this time, the green mark of the indicating member 123 moves to the indicating window 117. Thereby, it is convenient for the caregiver to determine whether the baby basket 9 is engaged with the first engagement mechanism 12 based on the indicating mark 1232 displayed in the indicating window 117.
[0063] As shown in FIG. 7, the pusher member 124 is movably provided on the engagement base 11 and is located between the unlocking member 121 and the indicating member 123.

When the pusher member 124 switches from the extended position to the retracted position, the pusher member 124 presses against the indicating member 123 to switch it from the first indicating state to the second indicating state. One end of the pusher member 124 is a contact end 1241 that can contact the horizontal rod 91. When the pusher member 124 is in the retracted position, as shown in FIG. 9, the contact end 1241 is substantially flush with the second engagement surface 113, and the horizontal rod 91 is engaged between the first engagement surface 1213 and the contact end 1241. When the pusher member 124 is in the extended position, as shown in FIG. 8, the horizontal rod 91 disengages from the engagement with the first engagement surface 1213. The second elastic member 125 is configured to urge the indicating member 123 to move to the first indicating state. The indicating member 123 has a first driving slope 1231, and a second driving slope 1242 is provided at the other end of the pusher member 124. The second driving slope 1242 contacts the first driving slope 1231 to move the indicating member 123, whereby the indicating member 123 switches between at least two indicating states (in this embodiment, the first indicating state and the second indicating state). When the unlocking member 121 is in the unlocked state at the first position, the contact end 1241 of the pusher member 124 is located between the first engagement surface 1213 and the second engagement surface 113. In this embodiment, when the unlocking member 121 is in the unlocked state at the first position, the pusher member 124 is provided substantially perpendicular to the first engagement surface 1213. Of course, in other embodiments, the pusher member 124 may be provided offset from the first engagement surface 1213.
[0064] As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, when the horizontal rod 91 moves until it engages with the engaging portion 1211, the horizontal rod 91 presses against the abutting end 1241 of the pusher member 124 to move the pusher member 124, and by aligning the second driving slope 1242 and the first driving slope 1231, the movement of the indicating member 123 is driven, whereby the indicating member 123 switches from the first indicating state to the second indicating state. As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, when the engagement between the horizontal rod 91 and the engaging portion 1211 is released, the horizontal rod 91 no longer presses against the pusher member 124, the pusher member 124 no longer generates a driving force on the indicating member 123, and the indicating member 123 moves from the second indicating state to the first indicating state under the action of the elastic force of the second elastic member 125, and by aligning the first driving slope 1231 and the second driving slope 1242, the movement of the indicating member 123 is driven.
[0065] Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 12, the second elastic member 125 is a spring. The second elastic member 125 is housed in the storage cavity 112 and is provided between the indicating member 123 and the inner wall of the engagement base 11. Also, there are two connecting portions 1212 of the unlocking member 121, and the two connecting portions 1212 are opposed to each other and provided at an interval. A part of the indicating member 123 and the second elastic member 125 are located between the two connecting portions 1212, and the indicating member 123 is movable between the two connecting portions 1212. One end of the second elastic member 125 abuts against the indicating member 123, and the other end abuts against the inner wall of the engagement base 11 to urge the indicating member 123 to move to the other of the two connecting portions 1212.
[0066] As shown in FIG. 11, the engagement device 1 further includes a second engagement mechanism 14, and the second engagement mechanism 14 includes an engagement member 141 and an elastic arm 142. The engagement member 141 is connected to the placement base 211 and, together with the placement base 211, forms a mounting groove 15 into which at least a part of the engagement base 11 is inserted. The engagement member 141 is provided with a first engagement hole 1411. One surface of the placement base 211 for placing an infant is defined as the first side surface 2111, and one surface of the placement base 211 opposite to the first side surface 2111 is defined as the second side surface 2112. The engagement member 141 is provided on the second side surface 2112 of the placement base 211. In this way, when the high chair 2 is used alone, the engagement member 141 can be removed from the placement base 211, avoiding the engagement member 141 from interfering with the use of the high chair 2 by an infant. The elastic arm 142 is connected to the engagement base 11, and the elastic arm 142 is provided with a first engagement protrusion 1421 that can be engaged with the first engagement hole 1411. Specifically, the engagement base 11 has an opening groove 118. One end of the elastic arm 142 is connected to the groove wall of the opening groove 118, and the other end of the elastic arm 142 is provided with the first engagement protrusion 1421. The first engagement protrusion 1421 has an engagement position protruding from the opening groove 118 and a retracted position not protruding from the opening groove 118. When the first engagement protrusion 1421 is located at the engagement position, the first engagement protrusion 1421 can be engaged with the first engagement hole 1411. In the process of inserting the engagement base 11 into the mounting groove 15, the engagement member 141 can push against the first engagement protrusion 1421 and move it to the retracted position. At this time, the elastic arm 142 is elastically deformed. Since the elastic arm 142 is configured to urge the first engagement protrusion 1421 and move the first engagement protrusion 1421 to the engagement position, after the engagement base 11 is inserted into the mounting groove 15 and reaches a predetermined position, the first engagement protrusion 1421 can be engaged with the first engagement hole 1411 due to the elastic deformation action of the elastic arm 142. In this embodiment, the engagement groove 111 includes a first side wall 1112 and a second side wall 1111. The second side wall 1111 is configured to abut against the first side surface 2111, and the first side wall 1112 is configured to abut against the second side surface 2112. The elastic arm 142 is provided on the first side wall 1112.When at least a part of the placement base 211 is engaged in the engagement groove 111, at least a part of the second side wall 1112 is inserted into the mounting groove 15, the elastic arm 142 enters the mounting groove 15, and the first engagement protrusion 1421 is engaged with the first engagement hole 1411. By providing the second engagement mechanism 14, the engagement base 11 can be stably connected to the placement base 211, and it is possible to easily fix the engagement base 11 to the placement base 211.
[0067] In this embodiment, the specific process of fixedly connecting the engagement device 1 to the baby basket 9 and the high chair 2 respectively is as follows.
[0068] First, as shown in FIG. 11, after fixing the engagement member 141 to the placement base 211, the placement base 211 is engaged with the engagement groove 111. At this time, while the second side wall 1112 is inserted into the mounting groove 15, the first engagement protrusion 1421 is engaged with the first engagement hole 1411, and the engagement device 1 is fixedly connected to the high chair 2.
[0069] Next, as shown in FIG. 9, when the baby basket 9 is moved to the placement base 211 and the baby basket 9 approaches the first engagement mechanism 12, the horizontal rod 91 presses against the wedge surface 1214 of the unlocking member 121 to pivot the unlocking member 121 to the second position. When continuously moving to the placement base 211, the horizontal rod 91 maintains contact with the unlocking member 121. At the same time as the unlocking member 121 is kept in the second position, the horizontal rod 91 presses against and moves the pusher member 124, and the combination of the second driving slope 1242 and the first driving slope 1231 drives the movement of the indicating member 123 from the first indicating state to the second indicating state. When the horizontal rod 91 moves along the wedge surface 1214 into the engaging groove 15, the horizontal rod 91 causes the indicating member 123 to move to the second indicating state by the pusher member 124, and the horizontal rod 91 no longer abuts against the wedge surface 1214. As shown in FIG. 10, the unlocking member 121 pivots from the second position to the locked state at the first position under the action of the elastic force of the first elastic member 122, and the first engaging surface 1213 engages with the horizontal rod 91. At this time, the unlocking member 121 is in the locked state, whereby the horizontal rod 91 is engaged between the engaging portion 1211 and the pusher member 124.
[0070] The process of disconnecting the engagement device 1 from the baby basket 9 and the high chair 2 respectively is specifically as follows.
[0071] First, as shown in FIG. 10, an external force is applied to the unlocking member 121 to pivot it from the first position to the second position, releasing the engagement between the horizontal rod 91 and the unlocking member 121. As a result, as shown in FIG. 9, the baby basket 9 is disconnected from the engaging device 1. When the horizontal rod 91 disengages from the engaging device 1 and the external force applied to the unlocking member 121 is removed, the unlocking member 121 returns to the unlocked state from the second position to the first position under the action of the elastic force of the first elastic member 122 (at this time, the unlocking member 121 is in the unlocked state). At the same time, under the elastic acting force of the second elastic member 125, the indicating member 123 moves from the second indicating state to the first indicating state, and by the combination of the first driving slope 1231 and the second driving slope 1242, the pusher member 124 moves in the direction approaching the first engaging surface 1213 until the contact end 1241 contacts the first engaging surface 1213, that is, the pusher member 124 moves to the extended position. In other embodiments, when the pusher member 124 is in the extended position, the contact end 1241 may not contact the first engaging surface 1213, that is, the contact end 1241 and the first engaging surface 1213 may be provided with a gap.
[0072] Next, as shown in FIG. 11, it is possible to press the first engaging protrusion 1421 through the first engaging hole 1411 to withdraw the first engaging protrusion 1421 from the first engaging hole 1411. At this time, when an external force is applied to the engaging base 11, the engaging groove 111 disengages from the engagement with the mounting base 211, thereby releasing the connection between the engaging base 11 and the mounting base 211.
[0073] In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 13 to 15, the infant seat assembly may further include a third engagement mechanism 3, and the third engagement mechanism 3 enables the infant basket 9 to be detachably connected to the backrest 212. In this embodiment, the third engagement mechanism 3 includes an engagement groove 32, a lock hook member 31, a decorative cover 33, and a third elastic member 34. The engagement groove 32 is provided on the backrest 212. A first protrusion 321 is provided on the side wall of the engagement groove 32, and the first protrusion 321 and the bottom wall 322 of the engagement groove 32 form a lock hook groove 325 with a gap therebetween. The lock hook member 31 is provided on the infant basket 9. The lock hook member 31 has a hook body 311, and the hook body 311 is configured to be engaged in the lock hook groove 325 to fix the lock hook member 31 in the engagement groove 32. Specifically, the lock hook member 31 and the horizontal rod 91 are respectively provided on both the front and rear sides of the infant basket 9. For example, the horizontal rod 91 is provided on the front side of the infant basket 9, and the lock hook member 31 is provided on the rear side of the infant basket 9.
[0074] Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 14, the backrest 212 includes a first back plate 2121 and a second back plate 2122 that are interconnected. The engagement groove 32 includes a first hole 32a provided in the first back plate 2121 and a second hole 32b provided in the second back plate 2122, and the bottom wall of the second hole 32b forms the bottom wall 322 of the engagement groove 32. The side wall of the first hole 32a protrudes from the side wall of the second hole 32b to form the first protrusion 321.
[0075] Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 14, the cosmetic cover 33 is movably provided within the engagement groove 32, and when the hook body 311 (see FIG. 15) is not engaged with the lock hook groove 325, the cosmetic cover 33 can close the groove opening of the engagement groove 32. The cosmetic cover 33 has a first end 331 that is away from the bottom wall 322 of the engagement groove 32 and a second end 332 that faces the bottom wall 322 of the engagement groove 32. A second convex portion 333 is provided at the second end 332, and the second convex portion 333 is positioned between the bottom wall 322 of the engagement groove 32 and the first convex portion 321. The second convex portion 333 is configured to abut against the first convex portion 321 to positionally restrict the cosmetic cover 33 within the engagement groove 32. In this embodiment, the cosmetic cover 33 is an integrally formed member. By connecting the first back plate 2121 and the second back plate 2122, the first convex portion 321 is formed, and it is possible to conveniently attach the cosmetic cover 33 within the engagement groove 32.
[0076] Furthermore, the cosmetic cover 33 can be switched between a third position and a fourth position. When the cosmetic cover 33 is in the third position, the second convex portion 333 abuts against the first convex portion 321, and the first end 331 is flush with the surface of the backrest 212, thereby covering the groove opening of the engagement groove 32. In this way, it is possible to prevent external objects from falling into the engagement groove 32, make the appearance of the high chair 2 cleaner and more aesthetic, and further avoid pinching. When the cosmetic cover 33 is in the fourth position, the first end 331 and the first convex portion 321 are provided with a gap therebetween, whereby the hook body 311 can be engaged with the lock hook groove 325, and further realize the fixed connection of the infant basket 9 to the backrest 212.
[0077] As shown in FIG. 14, the third elastic member 34 is provided between the bottom wall 322 of the engagement groove 32 and the decorative cover 33, and the third elastic member 34 is configured to urge the decorative cover 33 to move to the third position. The third elastic member 34 includes a spring. Specifically, a third convex portion 323 may be provided on the bottom wall 322 of the engagement groove 32, and a receiving hole 324 is provided in the third convex portion 323. The decorative cover 33 has a fourth convex portion 334, and the fourth convex portion 334 may be provided facing the receiving hole 324. One end of the third elastic member 34 is externally fitted to the third convex portion 323, and the other end is inserted into the receiving hole 324, thereby preventing the third elastic member 34 from being displaced during the deformation process.
[0078] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 16, the high chair 2 has a first member and a second member that can move relative to each other, and adjustment mechanisms 23a and 23b respectively connected to the first member and the second member. The adjustment mechanisms 23a and 23b can be switched between a locked state and an unlocked state. When the adjustment mechanisms 23a and 23b are in the unlocked state, the first member can move relative to the second member along predetermined directions D1 and D2. When the adjustment mechanisms 23a and 23b are in the locked state, the first member is fixed relative to the second member.
[0079] Also, referring to FIG. 16, the first member may be the mounting base 211, and the second member may be the side plate 213. The predetermined direction is the direction D1 in which the mounting base 211 moves away from or approaches the backrest 212, or the reverse direction of direction D1, that is, the front-rear direction shown in FIG. 16. The adjustment mechanism may include a first adjustment mechanism 23a. The mounting base 211 is connected to the two side plates 213 by two first adjustment mechanisms 23a respectively, and can move in the direction D1 or the reverse direction of direction D1 by the first adjustment mechanism 23a.

As shown in FIGS. 18 and 19, the connection base 231 has a storage groove 2311 for storing the locking member 232. The storage groove 2311 has a side wall 23111 and a bottom wall 23112. The bottom wall 23112 of the storage groove 2311 is provided opposite to the bottom wall of the first strip-shaped groove 2131. The side wall 23111 of the storage groove 2311 is at least partially received in the first strip-shaped groove 2131 and is movable along the first strip-shaped groove 2131. A strip-shaped hole 2312 through which the driving member 233 exits is provided in the bottom wall 23112 of the storage groove 2311.
[0083] Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 18 and 19, the lock member 232 includes a lock portion 2321 and a lock body 2322. The lock body 2322 is pivotally connected to the connection base 231 by a pivot shaft 237. The lock portion 2321 is provided at one end of the lock body 2322. In this embodiment, the lock member 232 is housed in the housing groove 2311 and is pivotally connected to the side wall 23111 of the housing groove 2311 by the pivot shaft 237. The lock member 232 can be switched between a locked position and an unlocked position. When the lock member 232 is in the locked position, as shown in FIG. 18, the lock portion 2321 extends out from the groove opening of the housing groove 2331 and can be inserted and fitted into any one of the lock holes 236. When the lock member 232 is in the unlocked position, as shown in FIG. 19, the lock portion 2321 releases the fitting with any one of the lock holes 236, that is, the lock portion 2321 exits from any one of the lock holes 236. The lock body 2322 is operable so that the lock portion 2321 can be switched between the locked position and the unlocked position. The fourth return member 234 is configured to urge the lock member 232 to pivot the lock member 232 to the locked position.
[0084] As shown in FIGS. 18 and 19, the drive member 233 includes a drive portion 2332 and an operation portion 2331. The drive portion 2332 abuts against the lock body 2322.

The operating member 235 moves to move the driving member 233, and further drives the pivoting of the lock member 232. A guide groove 2313 is provided in the connection base 231, and a part of the operating member 235 is housed in the guide groove 2313 and is movable along the guide groove 2313. The guide groove 2313 communicates with the strip-shaped hole 2312, and its extending direction is parallel to the first predetermined direction D1. The operating member 235 has an operating surface, and anti-slip ribs 2351 are provided on the operating surface, which is convenient for pressing against the operating surface to move the operating member 235. In this embodiment, the direction D1 is the direction toward the backrest 212.
[0089] The operating principle of the first adjustment mechanism 23a will be described in detail below.
[0090] As shown in Fig. 18, when it is necessary to adjust the relative position between the mounting base 211 and the side plate 213, the operating member 235 is pushed along the direction D1. The operating member 235 moves the driving member 233 in the direction D1. The second abutting slope 2323 abuts against the first abutting slope 23321 along the direction D1, and the locking member 232 pivots in the R1 direction (in this embodiment, counterclockwise) against the elastic force of the fourth return member 234. Then, the locking portion 2321 releases the engagement with one of the plurality of locking holes 236, whereby the mounting base 211 is movable relative to the side plate 213. After moving the mounting base 211 to the required position, the operating member 235 is released, that is, the external force applied to the operating member 235 is removed. The locking member 232 pivots in the reverse direction of R1 under the action of the elastic force of the fourth return member 234, and the locking portion 2321 re-engages with the other of the plurality of locking holes 236. And by the driving cooperation of the first abutting slope 23321 and the second abutting slope 2323, the driving member 233 returns to the initial position along the direction D1, and further returns the operating member 235 to the initial position together.
[0091] In some embodiments, as shown in Fig. 16, the high chair 2 further includes a pedal 24 located between the two support legs 22. The pedal 24 is movable relative to the two support legs 22. Specifically, the pedal 24 is movably connected between the two front support legs 221. In this embodiment, the first member may be the support leg 22, and the second member may be the pedal 24. The predetermined direction is the direction D2 in which the pedal 24 moves away from or approaches the mounting base 211 or the reverse direction of the direction D2, that is, the vertical direction shown in Fig. 21. The adjustment mechanism includes a second adjustment mechanism 23b. The pedal 24 is respectively connected to the two support legs 22 through the two second adjustment mechanisms 23b and is movable along the second predetermined direction D2 by the second adjustment mechanism 23b.
[0092] Referring to FIGS. 20 and 21, the second adjustment mechanism 23b has basically the same structure as the first adjustment mechanism 23a, and both include a connection base 231, a locking member 232, a driving member 233, a fourth return member 234, an operating member 235, and a plurality of locking holes 236. The difference between the second adjustment mechanism 23b and the first adjustment mechanism 23a is that the connection base 231 of the second adjustment mechanism 23b is fixedly connected to the pedal 24 and movably connected to the support leg 22, and the plurality of locking holes 236 are provided in the support leg 22, and the pedal 24 is releasably connected to the support leg 22. Specifically, a second strip-shaped groove 225 is provided in the support leg 22. A part of the connection base 231 is housed in the second strip-shaped groove 225 and is movable along the second strip-shaped groove 225. A second strip-shaped block 226 is provided in the second strip-shaped groove 225, and the second strip-shaped block 226 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the second strip-shaped groove 225. The plurality of locking holes 236 are provided in the second strip-shaped block 226 and communicate with the second strip-shaped groove 225.

[0093] In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 2, 22, and 23, the infant seat assembly further includes a meal tray 4 and a stopper member 5. The stopper member 5 can limit the infant on the placement base 211 of the high chair 2, and can prevent the infant from accidentally falling from the gap between the meal tray 4 and the placement base 211. When the infant seat assembly is in the second use mode, the engaging device 1 is not connected to the high chair 2. One end of the stopper member 5 is connected to the meal tray 4, and the other end is removably connected to the placement base 211.
[0094] Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 22 and 23, an elastic finger 51 is provided at the other end of the stopper member 5. One end of the elastic finger 51 is a free end 513 and extends in the direction of the meal tray 4. The elastic finger 51 has a second engaging protrusion 511, and the mounting base 211 has a second engaging hole 2113 provided therethrough. The second engaging protrusion 511 passes through the mounting base 211 via the second engaging hole 2113 and abuts against the end face of the mounting base 211 facing away from the meal tray 4 (i.e., the second side face 2112 of the mounting base 211), thereby detachably connecting the meal tray 4 to the mounting base 211. The elastic finger 51 further has an operation protrusion 512, and the operation protrusion 512 is provided close to the free end 513 with respect to the second engaging protrusion 511, and the operation protrusion 512 can be pressed. When the elastic finger 51 is inserted and fitted into the second engaging hole 2113, the operation protrusion 512 is located between the meal tray 4 and the first side face 2111 of the mounting base, which is convenient for pressing the operation protrusion 512. The stopper member 5 further has a position regulating protrusion 52, and the position regulating protrusion 52 can abut against the first side face 2111 of the mounting base 211, thereby preventing the meal tray 4 from moving excessively in the direction of the mounting base 211. When it is necessary to remove the meal tray 4, the elastic finger 51 is pressed (specifically, the operation protrusion 512 of the elastic finger 51 is pressed) to deform the elastic finger 51, whereby the second engaging protrusion 511 releases the engagement with the second side face 2112, and the stopper member 5 detaches from the second engaging hole 2113, and the meal tray 4 can be removed from the stopper member 5.
[0095] The engaging device 1 and the infant seat assembly have at least the following technical effects.
[0096] By connecting the engaging device 1 to the horizontal rod 91 of the infant basket 9 and the mounting base 211 of the high chair 2 respectively, the infant basket 9 can be conveniently and stably fixed to the high chair 2, which is not only convenient for the caregiver to take care of the infant when eating, but also convenient for the infant and the caregiver to eat together.
[0097] Furthermore, the placement base 211 can slide relative to the side plates 213 to adjust the sitting space of the high chair 2 (i.e., the space surrounded by the placement base 211, the backrest 212, the side plates 213, etc.), so it can be suitable for children of different body types or different age groups, and can also be applied to the attachment of infant baskets 9 of different sizes.
[0098] All the technical features of the embodiments described above can be arbitrarily combined. For the sake of brevity of description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, it should be considered to be within the scope described in this specification.
