Baby Supporting Chair

摘要

A baby supporting chair (1) is provided that comprises a generally rigid outer support shell (2) of generally dome shape with a lower periphery (3) for supporting the chair (1), directly or indirectly, on a generally horizontal surface. The outer support shell (2) has, in plan view, a baby receiving zone in a central region for receiving at least a lower trunk of a baby, in use. At least one, and typically two, channels (5) extend from the central region for receiving, in use, the legs of a baby projecting outwards generally beyond an outer extremity of the outer support shell (2). A baby restraining member, typically in the form of a pillar, inhibits a baby from sliding out of the chair (1). A relatively flexible inner baby support member (7) is attached to the outer support member to provide a relatively flexible seat (11) portion, a backrest (12) portion, and sidewall (13) portions to the baby receiving zone.
