Baby bungee jumper

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Referring first to FIGS.
1 and 2, the preferred embodiment of the baby bungee jumper 2 according to the invention will be described.
The jumper includes a frame or base 4 having upwardly extending legs 6.
More particularly, the base comprises a plurality of U-shaped tubular members having a lower horizontal portion 8 which is adapted for resting on a horizontal surface such as a floor and a pair of upwardly extending portions 10.
The adjacent upwardly extending portions of the U-shaped members define the legs of the jumper and are connected by a sleeve 12 which fits over the upper ends of the portions 10.

The base tubular members are formed of any suitable durable material such as metal or synthetic plastic.
As will be developed below, it is desirable that the material provide a slight degree of flexure between the legs 6 and the lower horizontal portions 8 of the members.
The sleeve 12 can also be formed of metal or synthetic plastic.
A seat 14 is suspended from the upper ends of the legs 6 above the base by elastic cords 16 such as bungee cords.
The seat is molded from a rigid material such as synthetic plastic and may include a cushion 18 for supporting an infant or baby and an integral tray 20 for supporting small toys, food, or the like.
The seat further contains a pair of openings (not shown) for receiving the infant's legs when the infant is arranged in the seat.
The sleeves 12 which connect the upwardly extending portions 10 of the base members together include on an outer surface a plurality of vertically spaced hooks 22.
As shown in FIG.
2 the hooks are configured to receive and retain the bungee cords 16 in a selected vertical position thereon.
The bungee cords preferably have their ends securely connected with the underside of the seat 14 (as will be described with reference to FIG
