The furniture of  claim 3 , wherein one of the connecting part and the toy bar connection portion comprises a protruding portion protruding outwardly relative to the engagement face or the complementary engagement face, and the other of the connecting part and the toy bar connection portion comprises a recess for receiving the protruding portion when the toy bar is in a first position and/or orientation relative to the frame and/or seat, and wherein the protruding portion and the recess are configured to engage one another in order to resist movement of the toy bar relative to the frame and seat. 
     
     
         6 . The furniture of  claim 5 , wherein a magnet of the magnetic coupling is configured to resist movement of the toy bar relative to the frame and seat in a first direction, and the protruding portion and the recess are configured to engage one another in order to resist movement of the toy bar relative to the frame and seat in a second direction, perpendicular to the first direction and/or resist rotation of the toy bar about an axis with a component in the first direction. 
     
     
         7 . The furniture of  claim 5 , wherein the other of the connecting part and the toy bar connection portion comprises a further recess for receiving the protruding portion when the toy bar is arranged in a second position and/or orientation relative to the frame and seat. 
     
     
         8 . The furniture of  claim 7 , wherein the frame comprises a base to be placed on a ground surface, wherein when the toy bar is in the first position and/or orientation, at least a portion of the toy bar is positioned on an opposite side of the seat from the base, and when the toy bar is in the second position and/or orientation, the toy bar or portion thereof is closer to the base. 
     
     
         9 . The furniture of  claim 7 , wherein when the toy bar is in the first position and/or orientation, the toy bar is arranged at an angle relative to a member of the frame and wherein when the toy bar is in the second position, the toy bar is at least partially aligned with a member of the frame. 
     
     
         10 . The furniture of  claim 9 , wherein when the toy bar is in the first position and/or orientation, the toy bar is arranged at an angle relative to a member of the frame to which the seat is coupled and wherein when the toy bar is in the second position and/or orientation, the toy bar is at least partially aligned with the member of the frame to which the seat is coupled. 
     
     
         11 . The furniture of  claim 1 , wherein the furniture comprises a rocker/bouncer. 
     
     
         12 . The furniture of  claim 1 , wherein the furniture comprises two toy bar connection portions on either side of the seat. 
     
     
         13 . The furniture of  claim 1 , wherein the toy bar comprises a pair of connecting parts configured to connect to toy bar connection portions on either side of the seat. 
     
     
         14 . A toy bar for furniture for a child, wherein the toy bar comprises:
 a bar part; and   one or more connecting parts comprising one or more magnets or elements of a magnetically attractive material for magnetically connecting the toy bar to toy bar connection parts provided on the furniture.   
     
     
         15 . The toy bay of  claim 14 , wherein the connecting parts comprise an engagement face configured to engage a complementary engagement face on the furniture when the toy bar is coupled to a seat and/or frame of the furniture. 
     
     
         16 . The toy bar of  claim 15 , wherein the connecting parts comprise one of:
 a protruding portion, protruding outwardly relative to the engagement face to be received within a recess formed on the connection parts provided on the frame, and   a recess for receiving a protruding portion formed on the connection parts provided on the frame, wherein the one of the protruding portion and the recess are configured to engage the other of the protruding portion and the recess formed on the connection parts provided on the frame to resist movement of the toy bar relative to the frame and seat of the furniture.   
     
     
         17 . The toy bar of  claim 16 , wherein one or more of the magnets or elements of magnetically attractive material is configured to resist movement of the toy bar relative to the frame and/or seat in a first direction, and the protruding portion and the recess are configured to engage one another in order to resist movement of the toy bar relative to the frame and seat in a second direction, perpendicular to the first direction and/or resist rotation of the toy bar about an axis with a component in the first direction.
