Seat inserts and methods of manufacture are described. An example seat insert includes a fastener to removably couple the seat insert to a bassinet or playard. The example seat include also includes a first base panel having a first length, a first end and a second end and a second base panel having a second length, a first end and a second end. The second end of the first base panel is coupled to the first end of the second base panel. In addition, the first length is longer than the second length so that the first base panel is positioned at a first incline and the second base panel is positioned at a second incline different than the first incline to cause a child occupant to assume a semi-upright position.
