A wood gliding bassinet to impart a gliding motion to soothe a child occupant includes a frame and an infant receiving receptacle. In example forms, the frame is wooden and includes four legs for supporting the frame on a support surface. The infant receiving receptacle is pivotally mounted to the frame such that the infant receiving receptacle is capable of gliding relative to the frame.

A portable baby mat apparatus is disclosed where the apparatus has both cushioning features to lay an infant upon, as well as, safety features to keep the infant from rolling off of the mat. Embodiments include mats with collapsible sidewalls as well as embodiments that are assembled to be self supporting. Embodiments further include features to store and transport the mat apparatus.

This invention relates to a case convertible into a baby carrier. More specifically, the invention relates to a device convertible between a baby carrier and a case. The device comprises a pair of shell members (12, 14) being angularly displaceable relative to one another between an open baby carrier condition and a closed case condition. The device further comprises a closure member (16) for locking the shell members (12, 14) in the closed condition with the closure member (16) providing storage space in which baby caring articles can be stored.

A new approach is proposed that contemplates system and method to support breath monitoring of a person via a plurality of breathing sensors embedded in a mattress the person is resting on. Once activated, each of the breathing sensors is configured to detect breathing activities or body movements caused by the breathing activities of a person lying on the mattress and report the breathing activities detected as electronic signals to a breathing monitor. Upon accepting the signals from the breathing sensors embedded in the mattress, the breathing monitor is configured to identify a breathing pattern based on the breathing activities of the person and detect any abnormal change in the breathing pattern of the person. If such abnormal change is detected, the breathing monitor is configured to generate and provide an alert to a monitoring party/caregiver of the person and/or produce an alarm to wake up the person in sleep.

A neonatal retention or support system including a horizontal base configured for at least one of attachment to or placement on a mattress of a bed, and a wall attached to and extending vertically from and at least partially around the base, the wall comprising at least one pair of hinges to allow the retention system to follow an adjustment of the bed. The wall is flexible inwards to allow a person to lie on the bed, and inflexible outwards so that an infant disposed within the retention system is prevented from falling from the bed.

The invention is a quick connect car-seat/stroller restraint system that includes a torso clothing element with a fastening means that is loosely holding a pair of adjustable sectional restraint elements made of a restraint strap, and having tensioning elements. One tensioning element is an opposing upper horizontal pair of connectors that pull the restraint strap toward a frontal centerline. A second tensioning element is a set of lap tensioning elements that connect to a lap twin slotted buckle. A third tensioning element is a plurality of quick connecting tensioning elements. Each of the pair of the adjustable sectional restraint elements has two end portions, and each end portion has a quick connecting, fastening element that can be fastened to a receiving tensioning g element in a car-seat/stroller. When connected the sectional restraint elements are slightly tensioned, limiting the movement of an individual wearing the torso clothing element.

A tray for attachment to first and second rising legs of a foldable chair for a child. A connection between the tray and one of the first and second legs includes a female connector depending from the underside of a tray and a male connector rising from the leg. An interlock slides between the female and male connectors and is operated by a handle integral with the interlock. Resilient arms integral with the interlock and handle keep the interlock engaged and automatically draw back the interlock after the handle slides the interlock to a disengaged position such that the tray can be removed from the legs.

A bedsheet with an integrated swaddle garment can hold babies securely while allowing access to the baby (e.g., to one or more arms and/or one or more legs of the baby) for examination and/or medical procedures without having to take the baby out of the garment. The bedsheet can be fitted over a mattress (e.g., at home, in a hospital) and the baby (newborn baby, premature baby, infant) can be placed in a cavity or pocket in the blanket and portions of the garment fastened to secure the baby or infant within the garment.

A nursing pillow that provides support and privacy to a mother and her infant while nursing in a seated position. The case of the pillow has three collapsible panels sewn-in around its perimeter—one of which runs lengthwise while the other two extend perpendicularly from its ends on either side in a widthwise manner. These panels can be raised and secured with a fastening mechanism in order to create a three-sided barrier around the perimeter of the pillow providing the mother and infant privacy when used during nursing. The inner support structures of the panels providing rigidity can be removed from the fabric panels of the pillow case in order for the case to be washed. The pillow case can fit any standard-sized pillow and, when removed from the pillow, can be folded in on itself to minimize its footprint for easy portability.
