Infant car seat caddy
View Patent ↗A car seat caddy for use in supporting an infant seat of a type having an underside defining front and rear lateral grooves includes a pair of front and rear upstanding tubular members each being telescopically movable between retracted and extended configurations. A pair of upper support members extends between respective front and rear tubular members, each having a front and rear ends coupled to respective front and rear tubular member and having a curved configuration. A front seat support bar having opposed ends is pivotally coupled to the respective front tubular members and movable between selective position, the front seat support bar having a configuration complementary to a front groove defined by the underside of the infant seat. A similar rear seat support bar may also be included with respective rear tubular support members.
1. A car seat caddy for use in supporting an infant seat of a type having an underside defining front and rear lateral grooves, said car seat caddy comprising:
a pair of front upstanding tubular members and a pair of rear upstanding tubular members, each front and rear tubular member having lower and upper ends, respectively, and being telescopically movable between retracted and extended configurations;
at least one height selection brace extending horizontally between respective front and rear tubular members, each height selection brace including a linkage having opposed pins movable between extended and retracted configurations;
wherein each front and rear tubular member defines a plurality of spaced apart apertures, each aperture being configured to selectively receive a respective pin when said respective pin is at said pin extended configuration;
a pair of upper support members extending between respective front and rear tubular members, each upper support member having a front end coupled to a respective front tubular member and a rear end coupled to a respective rear tubular member and having a curved configuration;
a front seat support bar having opposed ends pivotally coupled to said respective front tubular members and movable between selective position, said front seat support bar having a configuration complementary to a front groove defined by the underside of the infant seat; and
a rear seat support bar having opposed ends pivotally coupled to said respective front tubular members and movable between selective positions, said rear seat support bar having a configuration complementary to a rear groove defined by the underside of the infant seat.
2. The car seat caddy as in claim 1 , further comprising:
a front strut extending laterally between lower ends of respective front tubular members; and
a rear strut extending laterally between lower ends of respective rear tubular members; and
a pair of side struts extending between lower ends of respective front tubular members and respective rear tubular members.
3. The car seat caddy as in claim 1 , wherein said curved member is at a level configuration when said rear tubular members are upwardly extended further than said front tubular members.
4. The car seat caddy as in claim 1 , further comprising a wheel coupled to a lower end of each respective front and rear tubular member.
5. The car seat caddy as in claim 1 , further comprising:
a front strut extending laterally between lower ends of respective front tubular members; and
a rear strut extending laterally between lower ends of respective rear tubular members;
a pair of side struts extending between lower ends of respective front tubular members and respective rear tubular members;
a wheel coupled to a lower end of each respective front and rear tubular member; and
wherein said curved member is at a level configuration when said rear tubular members are upwardly extended further than said front tubular members.
