Abstract
An infant's swing is disclosed that has a frame, a swing arm, and a seat releasably mounted on the swing arm by a seat-to-frame coupler assembly that includes a pivot plate mounted to the back of the seat and a T-shaped connector mounted to the lower end of the swing arm. The connector is received in a mating cavity formed in the rear surface of the pivot plate, and the connector is engaged with the cavity by cooperation of slots in the cavity and posts on the connector. The pivot plate is pivotally mounted to the seat to permit the seat to pivot between a recline position and an upright position.
