The child's seat assembly of claim 2, wherein the handle is slidable relative to the swivel base in a first direction to a first unlocked position and in a second direction opposite the first direction to a second unlocked position, the handle being biased in the locked position between the first and second unlocked positions. 4. The child's seat assembly of claim 1, further comprising a roller assembly coupled to one of the seat and the swivel base, the roller assembly configured to roll across an annular track as the seat rotates relative to the swivel base. 5. The child's seat assembly of claim 1, further comprising at least one riser, the swivel base configured to engage the at least one riser in a first, lowered position and a second, raised position, the at least one riser being rotated 180 degrees from the lowered position to the raised position, the at least one riser projecting further beyond the swivel base in the raised position than in the lowered position. 6. The child's seat assembly of claim 1, further comprising a first riser and a second riser, wherein the swivel base defines a first aperture and a second aperture, the child's seat assembly adjustable between a lowered position in which the first riser is stored within the first aperture and the second riser is stored within the second aperture, and a raised position in which the first riser projects beyond the swivel base from the second aperture and the second riser projects beyond the swivel base from the first aperture, the seat being positioned higher in the raised position than in the lowered position. 7. A child's seat assembly comprising: a seat having a top surface that is contoured to support a child in a seated position and an arcuate bottom surface;a tray coupled to the seat;a base that defines an arcuate platform for supporting the arcuate bottom surface of the seat as the seat reclines and inclines relative to the base, the seat including a first coupling member and the base including a second coupling member, the first and second coupling members engaging to couple the seat onto the base, the seat being removable from the base by reclining or inclining the seat relative to the base until the first and second coupling members are disengaged;a recline lock mechanism that selectively locks the seat from reclining and inclining relative to the base; anda recline stop mechanism independent of the recline lock mechanism, the recline stop mechanism including a first stop surface on the base and a second stop surface on the seat that abuts the first stop surface on the base when the seat reaches a fully reclined position relative to the base, and wherein the seat includes a moveable release tab that transmits movement to the second stop surface of the seat to separate the second stop surface of the seat from the first stop surface of the base. 8. The child's seat assembly of claim 7, wherein the first coupling member includes one of a groove and a tongue and the second coupling member includes the other of the groove and the tongue, the tongue sized to slide within the groove as the seat reclines and inclines relative to the base, the groove having at least one open end, the seat being removable from the base by reclining or inclining the seat relative to the base until the tongue exits the at least one open end of the groove. 9. The child's seat assembly of claim 8, wherein the groove defines an arcuate path for the tongue. 10. The child's seat assembly of claim 8, wherein the tongue is arcuate in shape. 11. The child's seat assembly of claim 8, wherein the groove and the tongue are located above the arcuate platform of the base. 12. The child's seat assembly of claim 8, wherein the base includes at least one guide rail that projects from the base at a location above the arcuate platform, the at least one guide rail cooperating with the arcuate platform to define the groove in the base, the tongue extending from the seat to cooperate with the groove in the base. 13. The child's seat assembly of claim 12, wherein the at least one guide rail extends above the tongue to prevent the seat from being lifted off of the base. 14. The child's seat assembly of claim 12, wherein the tongue extends outwardly from the arcuate bottom surface of the seat. 15. The child's seat assembly of claim 7, wherein the recline lock mechanism includes: a handle slidably coupled to the base, the handle defining a ramped engagement surface;a stopper moveably coupled to the base; anda biasing member that forces the stopper toward the seat;wherein the recline lock mechanism is adjustable between a locked position, in which the stopper engages the seat to prevent the seat from reclining relative to the base, and an unlocked position, in which the stopper disengages the seat to enable the seat to recline relative to the base, by sliding the ramped engagement surface of the handle over the stopper to move the stopper relative to the seat. 16. The child's seat assembly of claim 15, wherein sliding the handle in a first direction relative to the base causes the stopper to move in a second direction relative to the base that is substantially perpendicular to the first direction. 17. A child's seat assembly configured to rest on a supporting surface, the child's seat assembly comprising: a base having an underside that faces that supporting surface;a seat supported by the base, the seat configured to recline relative to the base, the seat having a top surface that is contoured to support a child in a seated position;a tray coupled to the seat; andat least one riser that is rotatable relative to the base to position the seat in a first, lowered position relative to the supporting surface and a second, raised position relative to the supporting surface wherein the base is lifted entirely away from contact with the supporting surface, the at least one riser projecting further beyond the base in the raised position than in the lowered position, the at least one riser having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, the first surface of the at least one riser facing upward toward the seat in the lowered position and downward toward the supporting surface in the raised position, the at least one riser being stored within the base in the lowered position with the second surface of the at least one riser being substantially even with the underside of the base in the lowered position, the riser including an interlocking connection to lockingly connect the riser to the base to prevent withdrawal of the riser without disengaging the interlocking connection, the connection being locked by moving the riser relative to the base. 18. The child's seat assembly of claim 17, wherein the at least one riser rotates 180 degrees from the lowered position to the raised position. 19. The child's seat assembly of claim 17, wherein the second surface of the at least one riser faces downward toward the supporting surface in the lowered position and upward toward the seat in the raised position, and wherein the interlocking connection includes lips on the base and flanges on the riser. 20. The child's seat assembly of claim 19, wherein both the first and second surfaces of the at least one riser include grips, the grips on the first surface contacting the supporting surface in the raised position, and the grips on the second surface contacting the supporting surface in the lowered position, and the interlocking connection further includes an extension on the riser that snap locks into an aperture in the base. 21. The child's seat assembly of claim 20, wherein the seat reclines relative to the base independently of the at least one riser, and the interlocking connection is engaged by horizontally sliding the riser relative to the base, and is disengaged by depressing the extension and sliding the riser in the opposite direction.
