10. A juvenile seat comprising

a seat bottom,

a cupholder support coupled to the seat bottom, and

a cupholder mounted on the cupholder support, the cupholder including a cup receiver having a floor and a side wall arranged to cooperate with the floor to form a cup-receiving cavity, wherein the side wall includes a first deformable portion configured to deform elastically to change from an initial shape and move relative to the floor to assume a different shape and reduce a volume of the cup-receiving cavity during exposure of the first deformable portion to an external force,

wherein the seat bottom is formed to include a rear ridge, a front ridge, and a central basin located between the rear and front ridges and the cup receiver is configured to be located in the central basin, and the cupholder support is mounted to a floor of the central basin.

11. The juvenile seat of claim 10 , wherein the seat bottom includes a seat pad arranged to lie alongside the cupholder support, the cup receiver includes an first portion arranged to extend away from the seat pad and configured to include the first deformable portion of the side wall of the cup receiver and a second portion arranged to extend toward the seat pad, and the second portion is coupled to the cupholder support.

12. The juvenile seat of claim 11 , wherein the floor of the cup receiver includes a mounted portion arranged to lie in a stationary position on the cupholder support and an unmounted portion located in spaced-apart relation to the cupholder support and included in the first portion.

13. The juvenile seat of claim 11 , further comprising a seat back extending upwardly from the seat bottom and the rear ridge is arranged to lie in a position between the seat back and the front ridge.

14. The juvenile seat of claim 10 , wherein the cup receiver is a monolithic component made of a deformable elastic material.

15. A juvenile seat comprising

a seat bottom,

a cupholder support couple to the seat bottom, and

a cupholder mounted on the cupholder support, the cupholder including a cup receiver having a floor and a side wall arranged to cooperate with the floor to form a cup-receiving cavity, wherein the side wall includes a first deformable portion arranged to extend away from the cuphholder support and is configured to deform elastically to change from an initial shape and move relative to the floor to assume a different shape and reduce a volume of the cup-receiving cavity in response to exposure of the first deformable portion to an external impact force;

wherein the cupholder support includes a base, a base anchor, and an anchor retainer coupled to the seat bottom and to the base, the base is coupled to the cupholder, and the base anchor is fin-shaped, and

further comprising a seat back extending upwardly from the seat bottom, the base includes a floor-support wall arranged to mate with the floor of the cup receiver and a side-support wall arranged to mate with portions of the side wall of the cup receiver without contacting the first deformable portion of the cup receiver, the side-support wall includes a front wall portion formed to include a front concave surface mating with the side wall of the cup receiver and coupled to the base anchor and a rear wall portion located between the seat back and the front wall portion and formed to include a rear concave surface mating with the side wall of the cup receiver and coupled to the base anchor.

16. The juvenile seat of claim 15 , wherein the base and the base anchor cooperate to form a monolithic component made of a substantially rigid plastics material and configured to support the cup receiver thereon without hindering elastic deformation of the first deformable portion of the cup receiver.

17. The juvenile seat of claim 15 , wherein the anchor retainer is arranged to extend through an aperture formed in the seat bottom for retaining the base anchor in a stationary position in an anchor-receiving slot formed in the seat bottom such that the cup receiver moves with the seat bottom and is maintained in a stationary position on the seat bottom.

18. The juvenile seat of claim 15 , wherein the base anchor includes a front fin coupled to the front wall portion of the base, a rear fin coupled to the rear wall portion of the base, and a center fin arranged to lie between the front and rear fins and coupled to the floor-support wall of the base.
