Patent attributes
A child's highchair for receiving a child in a seated orientation includes a supporting frame, a seat supported by the frame, and a back connected to the frame wherein the back is movable between a substantially vertical orientation and a rearwardly tilted or reclining orientation. A release mechanism is integrated into the highchair and includes a release handle, a pair of cable arrangements and securing pins that are movable between a locked position and a released position by manipulation of the release mechanism. With the securing pins in a locked position, the back is fixed in position in a substantially vertical orientation. With the securing pins retracted, the back is able to be moved manually to a reclining position so as to enlarge the included angle between the back and the seat, making it easier to place a child in the highchair.
