9401.79.00.03 - Bouncers with seats

This HTS category, 9401.79.00.03, specifically covers "Bouncers with seats." These are typically free-standing seating units designed for infants and young children, featuring a seat that allows the child to bounce or move rhythmically through spring-loaded or elastic mechanisms. The primary function is entertainment and mild physical activity for the child, often incorporating toys or entertainment features attached to the bouncer's frame or seat. The construction is characterized by a seat supported by a frame, with a significant portion of that frame being made of metal.

It is crucial to distinguish this category from its siblings. Highchairs and booster seats (9401.79.00.01) are designed for feeding and are typically secured to a table or dining chair. Infant walkers (9401.79.00.02) allow a child to stand and walk with support, featuring a base with wheels. Swings for children (9401.79.00.04) are designed to hang and sway, often from a ceiling or stand. Stationary activity centers (9401.79.00.06) provide a fixed platform with various interactive toys. Unlike these, bouncers are characterized by their spring-loaded bouncing action as the primary mode of engagement and are generally intended for shorter periods of use.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within 9401.79.00.03. Therefore, classification decisions at this level will rely on the specific characteristics of the "bouncer with seat" product, ensuring it meets the criteria of having a metal frame and its primary function being a bouncing seat for infants and young children, differentiating it from other types of child seats or activity furniture.
