1. A device for permitting rotation of a toy bar relative to a child holding apparatus, comprising:
a base configured to be coupled to a child holding apparatus, the base including a base locking structure, the base including a first end configured to be coupled to the child holding apparatus and a second end; and
a toy bar extending between a first end rotatably coupled to the base and a second end, the toy bar including a bar locking structure adjacent to the base locking structure,
wherein a first one of the base locking structure and the bar locking structure includes a first extension extending laterally from a hub with a first protrusion extending from the first extension,
wherein the first extension is deflectable relative to the hub, and
wherein a second one of the base locking structure and the bar locking structure includes a first recess positioned to receive the first protrusion when the toy bar is in a first rotational orientation relative to the base, the first recess being configured to engage the first protrusion when the toy bar is rotated relative to the base so that the first extension is deflected away from the second one of the base locking structure and the bar locking structure as the first protrusion is moved out of the first recess and, when the toy bar is rotated so that the first protrusion is brought out of contact with the second one of the base locking structure and the bar locking structure or so that the first protrusion is again received in the first recess, the first extension reverts back to a relaxed state.
