4. The combination of claim 1 , wherein the second step includes a button that, when depressed, disengages the second step from the first cross bar.
5. The combination of claim 4 , wherein the second step is disengaged from the first cross bar prior to the base adjusting from the unfolded configuration to the folded configuration.
6. The combination of claim 5 , wherein at least a portion of the second step rotates with respect to the base to move the second step between a first position while the base is in the unfolded configuration to a second position while the base is in the folded configuration.
7. The combination of claim 3 , wherein while the combination is in the unfolded configuration, the first pair of legs and the second pair of legs are configured to form a substantially triangular shape with a surface on which the base is configured to rest.
8. The combination of claim 7 , wherein the second step extends from the first pair of legs to and past the second pair of legs while the combination is in the unfolded configuration and in the step stool configuration.
9. An apparatus for a combined high chair and step stool, the apparatus comprising:
a base comprising:
a first pair of legs;
a first cross bar extending between the first pair of legs;
a second pair of legs;
a second cross bar extending between the second pair of legs;
a first step disposed between at least one of the first pair of legs or the second pair of legs;
a second step disposed between at least one of the first pair of legs or the second pair of legs, wherein the second step is adjustable; and
a first hinge and a second hinge, each pivotally joining the first pair of legs to the second pair of legs;
a bracket; and
a seat configured to selectively attach to the bracket,
wherein:
the base is configured to adjust between a folded configuration and an unfolded configuration via rotation of the first pair of legs with respect to the second pair of legs;
while the base is in the unfolded configuration, the first pair of legs and the second pair of legs together form a first angle, and the apparatus is configurable into a high chair configuration and a step stool configuration, wherein:
in the high chair configuration, the seat is attached to the bracket; and
in the step stool configuration, the seat is not attached to the bracket and the second step abuts and is supported by each of the first cross bar and the second cross bar; and
while the base is in the folded configuration, the second step is supported by only the second cross bar, the first pair of legs and the second pair of legs together form a second angle, and the second angle being less than the first angle.
10. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein at least one of the first hinge and the second hinge includes a button that, when depressed, allows the first pair of legs to pivot with respect to the second pair of legs, and wherein the button is biased outward so as to prevent rotation of the first pair of legs with respect to the second pair of legs in absence of the button being depressed.
11. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the second step includes a button that, when depressed, disengages the second step from the first cross bar.
12. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the second step is disengaged from the first cross bar prior to the base adjusting from the unfolded configuration to the folded configuration.
13. The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein at least a portion of the second step rotates with respect to the base to move the second step between a first position while the base is in the unfolded configuration to a second position while the base is in the folded configuration.
14. The combination of claim 10 , wherein while the combination is in the unfolded configuration, the first pair of legs and the second pair of legs are configured to form a substantially triangular shape with a surface on which the base is configured to rest.
15. The apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the second step extends from the first pair of legs to and past the second pair of legs while the combination is in the unfolded configuration and in the step stool configuration.
16. An apparatus for a combined high chair and step stool, the apparatus comprising:
a base comprising:
a first pair of legs;
a first cross bar extending between the first pair of legs;
a second pair of legs;
a second cross bar extending between the second pair of legs;
a first step disposed between at least one of the first pair of legs or the second pair of legs;
a second step disposed between at least one of the first pair of legs or the second pair of legs, wherein the second step is adjustable and includes a button that, when depressed, disengages the second step from the first cross bar; and
a first hinge and a second hinge, each pivotally joining the first pair of legs to the second pair of legs, and each including a button that, when depressed, allows the first pair of legs to pivot with respect to the second pair of legs, wherein the button is biased outward so as to prevent rotation of the first pair of legs with respect to the second pair of legs;
a bracket;
a seat configured to selectively attach to the bracket; and
a tray removably attachable to the seat,
wherein:
the base is configured to adjust between a folded configuration and an unfolded configuration via rotation of the first pair of legs with respect to the second pair of legs, wherein the second step is disengaged from the first cross bar prior to the base adjusting from the unfolded configuration to the folded configuration;
while the base is in the unfolded configuration, the first pair of legs and the second pair of legs together form a first angle, and the apparatus is configurable into a high chair configuration and a step stool configuration, wherein:
in the high chair configuration, the seat is attached to the bracket and the seat is height adjustable; and
