ABSTRACT:
A perch for infants or handicapped persons employs a support member which is designed such that an individual can be laid on it in a prone, generally fetal-like position. The support member has an upper end adapted to support the individual's head such that the head can be picked up and moved from side to side, a lower end adapted to support the individual's buttocks and a midsection adapted to support the individual's trunk. Cutouts in the midsection near the upper end of the support member permit the individual's arms to hang freely on opposite sides of the support member. Similarly, cutouts in the midsection near the lower end of the support member permit the individual's legs to hang freely on opposite sides of the support member. A base positions the support member above a support surface such that the individual's legs and arms are freely suspended above the support surface. By interchanging various different bases, the perch can be converted into a rocker, a car seat, a swing or a stroller.
