Abstract
Abstract An adjustable child-positioning device includes an elongated cushion which is removably positioned in a high-chair. A rotatable rod mounted longitudinally through the cushion has an adjustment member affixed on each projecting end. The adjustment member includes a pair of parallel and spaced-apart pins affixed to a base, the pins adapted to straddle one of the frame members of high-chair. By rotating the adjustment member or reversing the ends of the cushion in the chain, the cushion may be located at a variety of distances from the front edge of the seat of the high-chair.
