Abstract

A child carrier includes a booster seat and a leg assembly. The leg assembly is detachably installed on the booster seat. The leg assembly includes an upper support and a lower support. The upper support is detachably installed on the booster seat. The lower support is detachably installed on the upper support. The child carrier is in a high chair mode when the lower support and the upper support are respectively installed on the upper support and the booster seat to connect the leg assembly to the booster seat, the child carrier is in a youth chair mode when the upper support is installed on the booster seat and the lower support is detached from the upper support, and the child carrier is in a booster mode when the upper support is detached from the booster seat to separate the leg assembly from the booster seat.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A child carrier comprising:
a booster seat; and
a leg assembly detachably installed on the booster seat, the leg assembly comprising:
at least one upper support detachably installed on the booster seat, at least two guiding portions being respectively formed on the at least one upper support and the booster seat, the at least two guiding portions cooperating with each other for guiding movement of the at least one upper support relative to the booster seat when the at least one upper support is installed on the booster seat; and
at least one lower support detachably installed on the at least one upper support;

wherein the child carrier is in a high chair mode when the at least one lower support and the at least one upper support are respectively installed on the at least one upper support and the booster seat to connect the leg assembly to the booster seat, the child carrier is in a youth chair mode when the at least one upper support is installed on the booster seat and the at least one lower support is detached from the at least one upper support, and the child carrier is in a booster mode when the at least one upper support is detached from the booster seat to separate the leg assembly from the booster seat.

2. The child carrier of claim 1 , wherein the at least one lower support comprises at least one first segment and at least one second segment detachably installed on the at least one first segment.

3. The child carrier of claim 2 , wherein the leg assembly further comprises at least one wheel rotatably disposed on the at least one second segment.

4. The child carrier of claim 2 , wherein the at least one second segment comprises two second segments, and the two second segments are connected to each other to cooperatively form a U-shaped structure.

5. The child carrier of claim 2 , further comprising a releasing module for allowing or restraining at least one of movement of the at least one second segment relative to the at least one first segment, movement of the at least one lower support relative to the at least one upper support and movement of the at least one upper support relative to the booster seat.

6. The child carrier of claim 1 , further comprising a leg rest detachably installed on the at least one upper support and a leg rest releasing assembly for allowing or restraining movement of the leg rest relative to the at least one upper support.

7. The child carrier of claim 1 , further comprising a tray detachably installed on the booster seat and a tray releasing assembly for allowing or restraining movement of the tray relative to the booster seat.

8. The child carrier of claim 1 , further comprising a seatback detachably installed on the booster seat.

9. The child carrier of claim 8 , wherein the seatback is rotatable relative to the booster seat.

10. The child carrier of claim 9 , wherein the seatback comprises at least one pivoting protrusion and at least one retaining rib, at least one first slot and at least one second slot communicated with the at least one first slot are formed on the booster seat, the at least one pivoting protrusion and the at least one retaining rib are accommodated in the at least one first slot when the seatback is located at an unused position relative to the booster seat, and the at least one pivoting protrusion and at least a portion of the at least one retaining rib are respectively accommodated in the at least one first slot and the at least one second slot when the seatback is located at a used position relative to the booster seat.

11. A child carrier comprising:
a booster seat;
a leg assembly detachably installed on the booster seat, the leg assembly comprising:
at least one upper support detachably installed on the booster seat; and
at least one lower support detachably installed on the at least one upper support; and

a releasing module comprising a leg releasing assembly, the leg releasing assembly comprising at least one leg engaging component movably disposed on the at least one upper support and at least one leg engaging slot structure formed on the booster seat, and the at least one leg engaging component engaging with or disengaging from the at least one engaging slot structure to restrain or allow movement of the at least one upper support relative to the booster seat;
wherein the child carrier is in a high chair mode when the at least one lower support and the at least one upper support are respectively installed on the at least one upper support and the booster seat to connect the leg assembly to the booster seat, the child carrier is in a youth chair mode when the at least one upper support is installed on the booster seat and the at least one lower support is detached from the at least one upper support, and the child carrier is in a booster mode when the at least one upper support is detached from the booster seat to separate the leg assembly from the booster seat.

12. The child carrier of claim 11 , wherein the at least one lower support comprises at least one first segment and at least one second segment detachably installed on the at least one first segment.

13. The child carrier of claim 12 , wherein the leg assembly further comprises at least one wheel rotatably disposed on the at least one second segment.

14. The child carrier of claim 12 , wherein the at least one second segment comprises two second segments, and the two second segments are connected to each other to cooperatively form a U-shaped structure.

15. The child carrier of claim 12 , wherein the releasing module further comprises a segment releasing assembly for allowing or restraining movement of the at least one second segment relative to the at least one first segment, or a support releasing assembly for allowing or restraining movement of the at least one lower support relative to the at least one upper support.

16. The child carrier of claim 11 , further comprising a leg rest detachably installed on the at least one upper support and a leg rest releasing assembly for allowing or restraining movement of the leg rest relative to the at least one upper support.

17. The child carrier of claim 11 , further comprising a tray detachably installed on the booster seat and a tray releasing assembly for allowing or restraining movement of the tray relative to the booster seat.

18. The child carrier of claim 11 , further comprising a seatback detachably installed on the booster seat.

19. The child carrier of claim 18 , wherein the seatback is rotatable relative to the booster seat.

20. The child carrier of claim 19 , wherein the seatback comprises at least one pivoting protrusion and at least one retaining rib, at least one first slot and at least one second slot communicated with the at least one first slot are formed on the booster seat, the at least one pivoting protrusion and the at least one retaining rib are accommodated in the at least one first slot when the seatback is located at an unused position relative to the booster seat, and the at least one pivoting protrusion and at least a portion of the at least one retaining rib are respectively accommodated in the at least one first slot and the at least one second slot when the seatback is located at a used position relative to the booster seat.
