          Appeal No. 96-1873                                                          
          Application 08/062,274                                                      


          Accordingly, the seats in these references do not have a position           
          or location in which they preclude a child from standing on the             
          step.  We find no basis in these references for the examiner's              
          argument that the height of the Fiore seat would preclude a child           
          from standing on the floor, or that the positioning of Manuszak's           
          seat “prevents the seated child of the correct size from standing           
          on the floor” (answer, page 4).  Moreover, even assuming that a             
          child seated in the seat of either Fiore or Manuszak could not              
          get out of the seat to stand on the floor (step), the seats would           
          still not be disposed, located or positioned so as to preclude              
          (another) child from standing on the step, as called for by the             
          claims.                                                                     
               Accordingly, the claims are not anticipated by Nanna, Fiore            
          or Manuszak.
