1. A baby seat for attaching to a table having a top surface, a side edge, and a bottom surface, the baby seat comprising:
a U-shaped support frame having two opposing arms, each arm connected with a lower support surface adapted for contacting the top surface of the table;
a flexible seat adapted for fixing partially over the U-shaped support frame and being suspended thereby, the flexible seat including both a U-shaped cover with a seat bottom, and a front cover having two leg apertures therethrough, the flexible seat when suspended from the U-shaped support frame assuming an expanded configuration, and when compressed assuming a collapsed configuration;
two clamping mechanisms fixed one each with the two opposing arms of the U-shaped support frame, each clamping mechanism including a lower clamping arm having a top surface adapted for contacting the bottom surface of the table;
wherein each clamping mechanism includes a lever arrangement and an actuator arm projecting rearwardly away from the front cover of the flexible seat, the actuator arm of each clamping mechanism moveable between an open position and a clamping position, whereby with the actuator arm of each clamping mechanism in the open position, and with the lower support surface of each arm of the U-shaped support frame resting on the top surface of the table proximate the side edge of the table, and with the top surface of the lower clamping arm below the bottom surface of the table, the actuator arm of each clamping mechanism can be moved to the clamping position to clamp the table between the lower support surface of each arm and the top surface of the lower clamping arms;
whereby with the lower support surface of each arm of the U-shaped support frame resting on the top surface of the table proximate the side edge of the table, the top surface of the lower clamping arm can be brought into contact with the bottom surface of the table to clamp the table between the lower support surface of each arm and the top surface of the lower clamping arms.
