A child-restraint apparatus comprises a seat adapted to receive a seated child. An adjuster is used to permit adjustment of a strap that lies across the seated child. led to the front frame portion at a second elevation, the first elevation being higher than the second elevation when the frame is in the expanded configuration, and an adjustable tension strap coupled to said frame at a first location on said rear frame portion and at a second location on said front frame portion, the tension strap selectively coupled at a third location on said front frame portion, the tension strap extending substantially horizontally between the first location and the third location, the tension strap extending substantially vertically between the third location and the second location, the tension strap being disposable when said frame is in said expanded configuration to support an arm of a user seated in the chair, the method comprising: positioning the frame in the expanded configuration; and shortening said strap to place said strap in tension. 14. The method of claim 13, further comprising further shortening said strap to adjust the disposition of said frame. 15. The method of claim 13, wherein the collapsible chair includes a cover configured to receive a portion of said frame when said frame is in a collapsed configuration, and a pouch, further comprising: inserting the cover into the pouch. 16. The method of claim 13 wherein the front frame portion includes an upper portion and a lower portion, the method further comprising: coupling said tension strap to the upper portion of the front frame portion. 17. The method of claim 17, wherein said upper portion includes a first end, said tension strap has an opening and said coupling of said tension strap includes inserting a first end of said upper portion into said opening. 18. A method of transporting a collapsible chair having a frame including a front frame portion and a rear frame portion and being disposable in a collapsed configuration and an expanded configuration, a seat coupled to said frame and supported on said frame when said frame is in said expanded configuration, the seat being coupled to the rear frame portion at a first elevation and coupled to the front frame portion at a second elevation, the first elevation being higher than the second elevation when the frame is in the expanded configuration, and a tension strap being coupled to said rear frame portion at a first location and coupled to said front frame portion at a second location and selectively coupled to said front frame portion at a third location, the tension strap extending substantially horizontally between the first location and the third location, the tension strap extending substantially vertically between the third location and the second location, the method comprising: uncoupling said strap from said third location of said frame; collapsing said frame; and disposing said strap on a shoulder of a user to support said chair on the user. 19. The method of 18, wherein said strap is adjustable in length, and in a shortened position is under tension, the method further comprising: lengthening said strap to reduce tension before uncoupling said strap from said third location of said frame. 20. The method of claim 19, further comprising: adjusting the length of said strap to fit the user. 21. A frame for a support, the frame having a collapsed configuration and an expanded configuration, the frame comprising: a front frame portion; a rear frame portion including a coupler slidably mounted on said rear frame portion; lower side support members pivotally coupled to said front frame portion and said rear frame portion; upper side support members, each of said upper side support members including an upper end and a lower end, said lower ends pivotally coupled to said front frame portion and said upper ends pivotally coupled to said coupler; and an extension member connected to said coupler, said extension member adapted to be grasped and pulled by a user to move said coupler between a first position when said frame is in said expanded confi guration and a second position along said rear frame portion, said movement of said coupler causing the upper ends of said upper side support members to move along said rear frame portion, thereby causing said side support members to move said front frame portion closer to said rear frame portion. 22. The frame of claim 21, further comprising: a tension member coupled to said frame and selectively disposable on said frame in a first position when said frame is in said expanded configuration to provide support for an arm of the user, said tension member including a first end and a second end, said first end being slidably mounted on said rear frame and supported by said extension member. 23. A method of collapsing a support having a frame including a front frame portion, a rear frame portion including a slide plate, support members coupled to said front frame portion and said slide plate, and an extension member coupled to said slide plate, the frame being disposable in a collapsed configuration and an expanded configuration, the method comprising: grasping said extension member; and pulling on said extension member relative to said rear frame portion to position said frame in said collapsed configuration. 24. The method of claim 23, wherein said frame includes a tension member coupled to said frame and disposable in a first position when said frame is in said expanded configuration to support an arm of a user on said support and in a second position when said frame is in said collapsed configuration to be carried on a shoulder of the user, the method further comprising: decoupling said tension member from said front frame portion. 25. The method of claim 24, wherein said tension member is coupled to said extension member, the method further comprising: pivoting said tension member about said rear frame portion from said first position to said second position as said frame moves from said expanded configuration to said collapsed configuration. 26. A frame for a support having a collapsed configuration and an expanded configuration, the frame comprising: a front frame portion; a rear frame portion including a coupler having a first mounting portion and a second mounting portion, said rear frame portion including first and second rear support members, said first rear support member being coupled to said first mounting portion, and said second rear support member being coupled to said second mounting portion; and first and second side support members coupled to said front frame portion, said first side support member being pivotally coupled to said first mounting portion in front of said first rear support member and being movable in a first plane between a first position when said frame is in said collapsed configuration and a second position when said frame is in said expanded configuration, said second side support member being pivotally coupled to said second mounting portion in front of said second rear support member and being movable in a second plane, said second plane intersecting said first plane. 27. The frame of claim 26 wherein said rear support members extending in a third plane, said third plane intersecting said first and second planes. 28. The frame of claim 27 wherein said first mounting portion includes a first coupling portion and a second coupling portion oriented at an angle with respect to said first coupling portion, said first rear support member being coupled to said first coupling portion, said first side support member being coupled to said second coupling portion. 29. A support comprising: a frame having a collapsed configuration and an expanded configuration; and a cushion coupled to said frame and selectively disposable on said frame in: a first position, when said frame is in said expanded configuration, where a head of a user can be located when the user is seated on said support, and a second position, when said frame is in said collapsed configuration, dispose
