A collapsible support frame includes a collapsible frame that extends upwardly from a ground surface and has a fixed vertical height. Such a frame includes a plurality of rectilinear rails equidistantly spaced apart and disposed at opposed corners of the frame. The frame further includes a seat support section, a plurality of rods, and a seat belt directly connected to the seat support section and projecting forwardly towards an anterior side of the frame. A mechanism for maintaining the selected rods is evenly registered along a horizontal plane when the frame is erected such that the selected rods become downwardly displaced from the horizontal plane when the maintaining mechanism is repositioned along a longitudinal length of the selected rods as the frame is collapsed.

What is claimed as new and what is desired to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is: 1. A collapsible support frame for supporting a baby carrier, said support frame comprising: a collapsible frame extending upwardly from a ground surface and having a fixed vertical height, said frame including a plurality of rectilinear rails equidistantly spaced apart and disposed at opposed corners of said frame, said rails maintaining a static longitudinal length while said frame is adapted between collapsed and erected positions, selected ones of said rails including brackets extending medially and inwardly therefrom, a seat support section having opposed corners connected to said brackets and other ones of said rails respectively, said seat support section being folded and unfolded when said frame is collapsed and erected respectively, a plurality of rods having opposed ends directly connected to top ends of said rails respectively, selected ones of said rods being downwardly displaced from the erected position, and means for maintaining said selected rods evenly registered along a horizontal plane when said frame is erected such that said selected rods become downwardly displaced from said horizontal plane when said maintaining means is repositioned along a longitudinal length of said selected rods as said frame is collapsed; wherein other ones of said rods travel towards a center of said frame and become adjoined proximate to the center of said frame when said frame is articulated to the collapsed position. 2. The support frame of claim 1, wherein said seat support section is bifurcated into pivotally coupled anterior and posterior segments, said anterior and posterior segments being pivotal about a fulcrum axis spanning along an entire width of said frame in such a manner that medial edges of said of said anterior and posterior segments bend downwardly and away from said selected rods when said frame is collapsed, lateral edges of said anterior and posterior segments being articulated adjacent to said rails and maintained at an equidistant height from said top ends of said rails during collapsing operations. 3. The support frame of claim 2, wherein said selected rods are bifurcated into anterior and posterior sections vertically aligned above said anterior and posterior segments of said seat support section respectively, each of said anterior and posterior sections having detachable medial ends abutted against each other during the erected position and thereby axially aligned along the horizontal plane defined orthogonal to said rails, said medial ends being downwardly adapted when said frame is collapsed such that a spatial relationship between said other rods is reduced. 4. The support frame of claim 3, further comprising: a seat having monolithically formed back and bottom regions pivotally attached to each other, said back region laying parallel to said rails and orthogonal to said anterior and posterior sections when said frame is erected, said bottom region laying parallel to said rods as well as said anterior and posterior sections when said frame is erected, said seat being removable from said seat support section. 5. The support frame of claim 3, wherein said maintaining means comprises: a plurality of tubular sleeves telescopically positioned about an outer surface of said selected rods such that said medial ends of said anterior and posterior segments are covered and statically engaged when said frame is erected. 6. The support frame of claim 1, further comprising: a tray removably attached directly to said selected rods and situated at an anterior side of said frame, said frame including a plurality of brackets intercalated between said selected rods and said tray in such a manner that said tray is slidably adaptable along a longitudinal length of said selected rods and positioned away from said anterior side of said frame as desired by the caregiver. 7. A collapsible support frame for supporting a baby carrier, said support frame comprising: a collapsible frame extending upwardly from a ground surface and having a fixed vertical height, said frame including a plurality of rectilinear rails equidistantly spaced apart and disposed at opposed corners of said frame, said rails maintaining a static longitudinal length while said frame is adapted between collapsed and erected positions, selected ones of said rails including brackets extending medially and inwardly therefrom, a seat support section having opposed corners connected to said brackets and other ones of said rails respectively, said seat support section being folded and Unfolded when said frame is collapsed and erected respectively, a plurality of rods having opposed ends directly connected to top ends of said rails respectively, selected ones of said rods being downwardly displaced from the erected position, and a seat belt directly connected to said seat support section and projecting forwardly towards an anterior side of said frame; means for maintaining said selected rods evenly registered along a horizontal plane when said frame is erected such that said selected rods become downwardly displaced from said horizontal plane when said maintaining means is repositioned along a longitudinal length of said selected rods as said frame is collapsed; wherein other ones of said rods travel towards a center of said frame and become adjoined proximate to the center of said frame when said frame is articulated to the collapsed position. 8. The support frame of claim 7, wherein said seat support section is bifurcated into pivotally coupled anterior and posterior segments, said anterior and posterior segments being pivotal about a fulcrum axis spanning along an entire width of said frame in such a manner that medial edges of said of said anterior and posterior segments bend downwardly and away from said selected rods when said frame is collapsed, lateral edges of said anterior and posterior segments being articulated adjacent to said rails and maintained at an equidistant height from said top ends of said rails during collapsing operations. 9. The support frame of claim 8, wherein said selected rods are bifurcated into anterior and posterior sections vertically aligned above said anterior and posterior segments of said seat support section respectively, each of said anterior and posterior sections having detachable medial ends abutted against each other during the erected position and thereby axially aligned along the horizontal plane defined orthogonal to said rails, said medial ends being downwardly adapted when said frame is collapsed such that a spatial relationship between said other rods is reduced. 10. The support frame of claim 9, further comprising: a seat having monolithically formed back and bottom regions pivotally attached to each other, said back region laying parallel to said rails and orthogonal to said anterior and posterior sections when said frame is erected, said bottom region laying parallel to said rods as well as said anterior and posterior sections when said frame is erected, said seat being removable from said seat support section. 11. The support frame of claim 9, wherein said maintaining means comprises: a plurality of tubular sleeves telescopically positioned about an outer surface of said selected rods such that said medial ends of said anterior and posterior segments are covered and statically engaged when said frame is erected. 12. The support frame of claim 7, further comprising: a tray removably attached directly to said selected rods and situated at an anterior side of said frame, said frame including a plurality of brackets intercalated between said selected rods and said tray in such a manner that said tray is slidably adaptable along a longitudinal length of said selected rods and positioned away from said anterior side of said frame as desired by the caregiver.
