The infant product of the invention is of the type having an infant receptacle suspended from a frame. The infant product is foldable between a deployed position for use and a compact configuration for shipping and storage. In the assembled configuration, the infant receptacle is convertible between a bassinet configuration in which the infant receptacle has a substantially planar support surface and an infant seat configuration in which the support surface of the infant receptacle is partially titled or disposed at an angle such that the infant can be supported in an elevated or seated position. The infant product may include a fabric canopy incorporating floating webs and a quick connect system for securing the canopy in an open position. When the canopy is closed, it is folded so as to lie flat against the infant receptacle. The infant receptacle may also include a lateral support assembly to cradle the infant.

Collapsible bassinet/infant seat with canopy

A reconfigurable support for an infant includes a main body and two reconfigurable restraints or support members mounted to opposite ends of the main body. The infant support can be used to securely position an infant that is either lying prone on a flat surface or that is seated in a child's seat, such as a car seat. The first configurable support member is formed as a cylindrical cushion and contains a bendable element that can be configured into a variety of shapes. The first support member retains the shape into which it is configured and thus can be configured and positioned to securely position an infant. A second reconfigurable support member is provided at the opposite end of the main body. The second member is integrally formed with the main body and includes two or three planar members. The planar members are reconfigurable such that they can either be configured to form a wedge shape projecting above the upper surface of the main body to support a lying infant or to lie coplanar within the main body so that the main body may be used as a seat lining.

Reconfigurable infant support

An article of children's furniture is convertible between a table configuration and an easel configuration. The article of furniture comprises a support member, a work surface, and a handle coupled to the work surface for changing the configuration of the article. The work surface includes a pair of panels that are attached to each other by a hinge, the handle being attached to the panels at the hinge. The handle includes a locking portion for engaging the support member to lock the work surface to the support member in the table configuration. The article is convertible to the easel configuration by rotating the handle to unlock the work surface from the support member and lifting both panels to the easel configuration. A lever lock is coupled to the support member for locking the panels in the easel configuration. The article is convertible to the easel configuration by depressing the lever lock to release the panels, which are then spread apart and lowered onto the support member. The panel is positioned on the support member and the handle is rotated to the locked position
