ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to an infant trainer seat for releasable mounting to a standard commode or toilet seat. The trainer seat includes a tubular support frame and cross-members adapted to rest on the standard seat, span the opening of the standard seat and releasably grasp the standard seat. The trainer seat portion defines a child-receiving opening and is secured to the support frame with the opening positioned on the frame for alignment with the opening in the standard seat. A collapsible backrest system is provided which includes a backrest portion that is movable between a raised upright position and a collapsed coplanar position. The backrest system includes a frame mechanism for pivotally connecting the backrest to the main support frame and positioning the backrest in the upright or the co-planar positions. An armrest and infant-restraining frame is also provided and is pivotally connected to the backrest frame for movement from a substantially upright position aligned with the backrest to a substantially horizontal position aligned with the support frame.
The backrest frame includes overcenter toggle linkage means for pivotally connecting the support frame and backrest. The armrest is spring-biased toward an upright position. Latch means are provided for latchably securing the trainer seat to the standard seat or commode.
