Abstract
A collapsible baby chair apparatus for attachment to an elevated member having a top and bottom surface, such as a tabletop or projecting countertop. The apparatus includes a chair member having a seat portion and a back portion, and a pair of frame members which are operably, pivotally attached to each other in a scissors-like orientation. The seat and back portions may be secured in an opened, seating, position and then releasably foldable to a closed position of reduced profile upon release of a biased locking mechanism. The two frame members each include at least two free ends which are pivotally spread apart and/or closed toward each other by manipulation of the frame members in a scissors-like manner--so as to facilitate positioning of the respective free ends adjacent the top and bottom surfaces of the elevated member. Frame members and securement members enable the chair to be clamped into secured attachment to the elevated member and/or to maintain the chair in its collapsed orientation prior to or after use of the apparatus. When the frame members are completely collapsed and the chair is in its closed position, the apparatus assumes a substantially thin orientation for portability.
