Abstract

An infant support includes a seat and an upright portion that extends from the seat. A tray has a first member, a second member, and a third member. The first member of the tray is configured to be removably coupled to the upright portion. Additionally, the second member of the tray is configured to be removably coupled between the first member and the third member.

Claims (22)

1. An apparatus, comprising:

a seat;

an arm extending upwardly from the seat, the arm including a projection; and

a tray having a first member, a second member, and a third member, the first member including a top planar surface and a coupling portion defining an opening, the opening configured to receive the projection to removably couple the first member of the tray to the arm in at least a first position and a second position different from the first position, the second member being configured to be disposed between the first member and the third member and to cover substantially all of the top planar surface of the first members; and

a back member pivotally coupled to the seat, the back member including a perimeter wall defining a recess,

the first member of the tray having a retention member extending from a lower surface of the first member, the retention member configured to retain a child in the seat when the first member is coupled to the arm in the first position, the retention member configured to be disposed within the recess defined by the perimeter wall of the back member when the first member is coupled to the arm in the second position.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the projection is one of a plurality of projections, the opening, being configured to receive each projection from the plurality of projections to removably couple the first member of the tray to the arm.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , the arm is a first arm, the coupling portion of the first member is a first coupling portion, the apparatus further comprising:

a second arm including a projection, a second coupling portion of the first member of the tray defining an opening configured to receive the projection of the second arm to removably couple the first member of the tray to the second arm in at least the first position and the second position different from the first position.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the third member of the tray is configured to be removably coupled to the second member of the tray.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the third member of the tray is configured to be removably coupled to the second member of the tray such that the second member of the tray and the third member of the tray remain coupled when the second member of the tray is removed from the first member of the tray.

6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the second position is opposite the first position.

7. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the top planar surface of the first member of the tray is facing upward in both the first position and the second position.

8. An apparatus, comprising:

a seat;

an upright member extending upwardly from the seat; and

a tray having a first member, a second member, and a third member, the first member including a side wall defining a recess having a substantially planar surface, the first member being configured to be removably coupled to the upright member, the second member including a receiving portion configured to be disposed within the recess of the first member and a side wall defining an edge configured to engage the side wall of the first member, a portion of the edge of the second member and a portion of the side wall of the first member collectively defining an opening, the third member including a cover portion, a side wall extending downwardly from the cover portion and a projection configured to be disposed within the opening such that the third member is configured to be removably coupled to the second member.

9. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the edge defined by the side wall of the second member faces downwardly.

10. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the edge defined by the side wall of the second member is configured to engage an upper portion of the side wall of the first member.

11. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the projection extends inwardly from the side wall of the third member.

12. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the third member is configured to form a seal between the third member and the second member when the third member is coupled to the second member.

13. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the second member is configured to be removably coupled to the first member such that the second member and the third member are configured to remain coupled together when the second member is removed from the first member.
