Claim:
A booster seat apparatus for being engaged to a table having an edge, comprising: a) a tubular seat support frame portion comprising a pair of end sections and a medial section that interconnects the end sections, with each of the end sections comprising a linear tubular portion, with each of the linear tubular portions comprising a pin, with the medial section comprising a tubular U-shaped piece; b) a child seat engaging said tubular seat support frame portion; c) a base frame portion comprising: i) a pair of first tubes for slideably receiving the linear tubular portions of the tubular seat support frame portion, with each of the linear tubular portions being slideable completely out of said first tubes, with each of the first tubes having first and second end portions, with each of the first end portions being open to receive one of the linear tubular portions, with each of the second end portions having a first jaw; ii) a pair of second tubes, with each of the second tubes opposing and running generally parallel to one of the first tubes, with each of said second tubes being interconnected to said first tube to which said second tube opposes and runs parallel, with each of the second end portions having a second jaw, with each of the second jaws opposing one of the first jaws, with the edge of the table being received between the first and second tubes; iii) a pair of drop pivot locations into which the pins of the linear tubular portions are dropped and engaged after said linear tubular portions slide completely out of said first tube such that said linear tubular portions can swing relative to said first tubes, such that said linear tubular portions are disposed at an acute angle relative to said first tubes, when said child seat is swung to a position underneath the table; and iv) wherein each of the drop pivot locations comprises a drop pivot slot that is perpendicular to the longitudinal length of the tubes; and d) a strap engageable between the base frame portion and the seat support frame portion, wherein the strap is engaged when the seat support frame portion is underneath the table, wherein the strap has a length greater than a length of the drop pivot slots such that the seat support frame portion hangs at an acute angle relative to the base frame portion when the strap is engaged between the base frame portion and the seat support frame portion.
