Abstract
Abstract A high chair utilized primarily for infants or young children comprises a chair section which is mounted onto a frame section. The position of the chair mount on the frame section is adjustable, thereby, making the height of the chair section of the high chair adjustable. The height adjustability of the high chair allows it to accommodate tables, countertops, chairs, and stools of varying height. Furthermore, the chair section is provided with a tray which is positionably adjustable on the chair section as well as completely detachable. The positional adjustment of the tray permits the high chair to snugly and, therefore, safely hold infants and young children of different size. Additional features of the high chair include a mount which allows the chair section to be mounted onto a planar surface, and an auxiliary support which permits the seat section to be rested on a planar surface.
