An infant seat consists of collapsible and intersecting frame members providing for a substantial base to accommodate elevation of an infant maintained therein. One of the frame members is articulated with the two pieces thereof being interconnected by a spring such that the seat itself may be caused to reciprocate or "rock." Wheels at one end of the base accommodate ease of movement of the infant seat. A toy bar is adapted for selective interconnection with the frame for the presentation of an array of toys over the infant. The frame members are collapsible upon themselves for ease of storage.

A child's safety seat for use with a forwards facing adult seat in an aircraft has a framework for supporting a child facing backwards, towards the adult seat, above the floor with the framework supported on the floor in front of the adult seat. A fabric pouch for holding the child is supported on the framework and has a back, a bottom, a front and two leg openings. A strap is provided for securing the fabric pouch to the adult restraint of the adult seat. A hook arrangement is provided for securing the framework of the child's safety seat to the frame of the adult seat. Thus a child can be restrained in the safety seat facing a restrained occupant of the adult seat.

A safety rocker or an infant seat includes a foot piece, a support bracket, two clips, two sets of pads, an upper frame, a lower frame, an inner fastener, a torsion coil spring, an outer fastener, a bolt, a swivel head, and a seat cover. The two clips are mounted on the foot piece near the bend point in order to attach the support bracket to the foot piece. The support bracket can be detached from these two clips to fold up the rocker when it is not in use. A swinging mechanism is constructed by using the bolt to penetrate the lower frame, the inner fastener, the torsion coil spring, the outer fastener, and the support bracket. Then, the swivel head is engaged with the bolt such that the lower and upper frames can limitedly rotate about the bolt with respect to the support bracket. The swivel head can be locked by engaging the inner and outer fasteners together if the rotation of the lower and upper frames with respect to the support bracket is not intended.

In a chair 1 having an upholstery member 7 fitted on a backrest portion or seat plate 4 serving as a portion adapted to contact a human body, upright portions 41 and elastic pieces 8 allowing their deflection in the direction in which the load of a human body contacting the chair works are provided and the upholstery member 7 is placed over the upright portions 41 and elastic pieces 8 so that the contacting portion of the seat portion or backrest portion is imparted with elasticity to ensure a better sitting comfort even if the upholstery member 7 lacks elasticity.

An infant seat having a seating surface positionable between upright and reclined orientations, the seating surface being supported by arms which are connected to torsion springs in a base, the torsion springs providing a bouncing motion to the seating surface in both the upright and reclined orientations. The base includes a rear support member which pivots between a support position, in which the member is substantially coplanar with the base, and a collapsed or folded position, in which the support member is pivoted adjacent to the seating surface. In a preferred embodiment, the connection between the seating surface and support arms includes a pivot plate pivotally connected to the seating surface and support arms and includes a slot engaged by a shoulder rivet attached to the support arms which defines limits of pivotable movement of the seating surface. The rear support member preferably includes nock fittings at its ends which engage the torsion springs and are held in engagement by extension springs captured within the rear support member ends. When the infant seat is adjusted to the collapsed or folded position, the nock fittings are disengaged from the torsion springs and pivoted toward the seating surface.
