Handheld charge indicator assemblies, children's ride-on vehicle kits including the same, and methods of determining the state of charge of a battery assembly of a children's ride-on vehicle. Handheld charge indicator assemblies are sized to be held in the hand of a user and are configured to be selectively interconnected to a battery assembly of a children's ride-on vehicle and output an output signal representative of a voltage of the battery assembly. Handheld charge indicator assemblies include a body, an electronic circuit housed within the body, an indicator configured to output an output signal representative of an input voltage to the electronic circuit, and a battery connector configured to engage the battery assembly of a children's ride-on vehicle. In some embodiments, the handheld charge indicator assembly further includes an actuator configured to actuate the electronic circuit to detect the input voltage responsive to a user engaging the actuator.

A child activity device for entertaining and promoting activity in a child is disclosed. The child activity device is configurable between a use and storage position and may also include a frame providing bouncing motion for a child. The activity device includes a support frame extending vertically upwards from a lower end proximate to a support surface and terminating at an upper end, a supporting portion, and may further include a seat, coupled to the supporting portion, that is rotatable about a first axis relative to the support frame to allow a child placed in the seat to rotate about the first axis. A coupling assembly is also disclosed. The coupling assembly secures the supporting portion to the support frame upper end and permits rotation of the supporting portion about a second axis for configuring the seat and supporting portion in a storage position. An activity device with foldable support legs is also disclosed. The support legs to base structure connection may further include a mechanism for providing bouncing motion for entertaining the child.

Child activity device

The present invention provides an infant entertainment device and a support assembly for positioning the entertainment device in view of an infant. The support is reconfigurable between an expanded configuration and a collapsed configuration. The entertainment device is responsive to actuation of a motion detector coupled to the entertainment device.

Collapsible infant entertainment assembly

An adjustable seat back has side sections that fold inward to provide lateral support for an infant or remain fiat to provide a wider seat back for a toddler. A wing adjustment assembly sewn into a section of the seat liner includes a pivoting actuator. By actuation of the lever section of the actuator that extends through an aperture in the liner at the rear of the stroller, the operator can pivot a pair of wing support sections outward on the front side of the liner. The seat back portion of the seat pad consists of a center portion and two side wing sections that are pivotal with respect to the center section about substantially vertical axes along two seams. The wing support sections of the actuator act to push the two wing sections of the seat pad forward providing a narrower seat to provide lateral support for an infant.
