RE: The tariff classification of an Infants' Comfort Seats from China.

Dear Mr. Kenny:

Four samples of the Summer Infants' Seats were submitted to this office for classifiation. The first sample, Summer Model #1200, is the Funtime Seat. It is a gentle bouncer with an educational toybar. The quilted cover conforms naturally to baby's shape and it removes easily for machine washing and drying. The two-way restraining belt adjusts for maximum security and comfort and the 2 position toy bar attaches/detaches easily. The canopy accessories protect baby from wind and sunlight. The toybar offers many fun and exciting ways to stimulate, entertain and educate the baby.

Summer Model #1146 is the Comfort Seat. It is a gentle bouncer with an educational toybar. It features the infant support cushion and has 9 fun activities and sounds, easy no-tool assembly: the 2 position toybar attaches/detaches easily. The support cushion cradles newborn during early development stages and supports infant's head and body. The restraining belt features easy-to-use buckle system and has a large rear storage pocket for baby's accessories.

The third sample is the Playtime Bouncer Seat. It is a gentle bouncer with an educational toybar. It has a quilted cover that conforms naturally to baby's shape and removes easily for machine washing and drying.

It has 2-way safety straps to secure baby and an easy to remove cover, machine washable and dryable. All four seats are metal framed, polyester covered infant seats designed for use on the floor by infants or small children.
