a retainer band removably coupled with the seat body, the retainer band configured to retain a child in the seat body when the retainer band is coupled with the seat body, the retainer band comprising:
a first lateral portion and a second lateral portion, each of the first and second lateral portions configured to be removably coupled with the seat body; and
a central portion, configured to be removably coupled with a seat portion of the seat body, wherein the first and second lateral portions extend laterally from the central portion;

a runner removably coupled with the retainer band;
a tray, coupled to the runner and configured to slide along the runner to adjust a depth of the tray from the seat body; and
a leg assembly comprising a plurality of legs and a cross-member assembly, wherein:
each leg comprises a lower portion and an upper portion, wherein the upper portion is removably coupled with the seat body, wherein the lower portion is selectively removably coupled with the upper leg portion and with the seat body, and
the cross-member assembly is configured to be coupled between the upper portion and the lower portion of each of the plurality of legs, and comprises a plurality of cross-members, each extending between two respective legs when the cross-member assembly is coupled with the legs.

2. The child chair of claim 1 , wherein the runner is a first runner removably coupled to a first lateral side of the retainer band, the child chair further comprising:
a second runner removably coupled with a second lateral side of the retainer band, the tray coupled to the first and second runners and configured to slide along the runners to adjust the depth of the tray from the seat body.

3. The child chair of claim 1 , further comprising a tray assembly, the tray assembly comprising:
the tray;
the runner;

a release button coupled to the latch and configured to release the latch responsive to user actuation of the button.

4. The child chair of claim 3 , wherein the tray assembly further comprises a base portion comprising the runner and the latch, the base portion configured to be coupled to the retainer band in a fixed position.

5. The child chair of claim 1 , wherein the first and second lateral portions are configured to be removably coupled with first and second lateral portions of the seat body.

6. The child chair of claim 1 , wherein each leg further comprises a foot, wherein the foot is selectively removably coupled with the upper leg portion and with the lower leg portion.

7. The child chair of claim 6 , further comprising:
a first leg defining a first slot and a second leg defining a second slot;
a footrest configured to be removably coupled to the first and second legs, the footrest comprising:
a first projection configured to removably mate with the slot of the first leg; and
a second projection configured to removably mate with the slot of the second leg.

8. The child chair of claim 1 , further comprising:
a first leg defining a first slot and a second leg defining a second slot;
a footrest configured to be removably coupled to the first and second legs, the footrest comprising:
a first projection configured to removably mate with the slot of the first leg; and
a second projection configured to removably mate with the slot of the second leg.

9. The child chair of claim 8 , wherein the first projection and the second projection are configured to mate with the first and second slots in a first orientation in which the footrest is a first height and a second orientation in which the footrest is a second height.

10. A child chair comprising:
a seat body; and
a leg assembly coupled to the seat body, the leg assembly comprising:
a plurality of legs, each leg comprising:
a lower portion and an upper portion, wherein the upper portion is removably coupled with the seat body, wherein the lower portion is selectively removably coupled with the upper leg portion and with the seat body; and
a foot, wherein the foot is selectively removably coupled with the upper leg portion and with the lower leg portion; and

a cross-member assembly, the cross-member assembly configured to be coupled between the upper portion and the lower portion of each of the plurality of legs, the cross-member assembly comprising a plurality of cross-members, each extending between two respective legs when the cross-member assembly is coupled with the legs.

11. The child chair of claim 10 , wherein each foot is further selectively removable coupled with the seat body.

12. The child chair of claim 10 , wherein:
the cross-member assembly comprises:
a plurality of leg receivers, each leg receiver configured to couple with the upper portion and lower portion of a respective leg; and
each cross-member comprises:
a finger configured to be inserted into a leg receiver; and
a cover configured to cover the coupling of the finger and leg receiver.
