ABSTRACT:
A highchair includes a chair assembly, a frame assembly supporting the chair assembly above a supporting surface, and a removable support insert for positioning and supporting the upper torso of an infant seated in the highchair. The chair assembly includes a seat portion, a back rest portion, and opposing side arm rest portions which all cooperate to support a child seated in the chair assembly. The removable torso support includes a generally planar center portion, and a pair of side portions which are integrally attached to the side edges of the center portion along living hinges. Each of the side portions includes an inner segment and outer segment which are rigidly connected in angular relation. The insert can be positioned in an operative position on the chair assembly wherein the center portion is secured to the lower back rest portion of the chair. The inner and outer segments of the side portions are angularly oriented such that when the center portion of the support is received against the back rest portion of the chair, the inner segments extend forwardly and outwardly and the outer segments extend further outwardly and engage with outer side edge portions of the back rest portion of the chair assembly to maintain the inner segments in an outwardly and forwardly extending position. The center portion and inner segments of the insert thereby cooperate to provide a narrowed nesting area for positioning and supporting the upper torso portion of an infant seated in the chair assembly. The insert is removable from the operative position for storage an inoperative position in a recess formed on the front surface of the back rest portion of the chair. The recess has a depth and peripheral outline which corresponds to the thickness and outline of the insert whereby the insert is received in flush mating relation in the recess on the back rest.
