Furniture comprising a first unit 1 and a second unit 2. The first module comprises an infant seat having a seating portion 11, a back 18 and legs 20. A second unit 2 engages with the first unit to elevate it above a floor such that the two units form a highchair or a play tower. The second unit may form a table, stool, step, an adult seat and/or a child seat when disengaged from the first unit. The second unit may have formations 26, such as recesses, for receiving the first unit’s legs. A detent mechanism may be provided to engage the legs with these formations, and a locking mechanism may be provided for locking the first and second units together. The legs may be receivable in the recesses at a tilted angle (see figures 29-32) and rotated to cause engagement and disengagement of the detent mechanism. When separated, the second unit may form a child’s seat in a first orientation and be rotatable 90 degrees into a second orientation in which it forms an adult’s seat. Further embodiments relate to a removable tray and integrally forming the first and second units from one-piece plastic mouldings.
