Provided are a connecting rod folding mechanism and a cot having the same. The connecting rod folding mechanism includes: an upper surrounding joint connecting rod folding mechanism and an corner connecting rod folding mechanism; the corner connecting rod folding mechanism includes an upper connecting rod, a lower connecting rod and a pull-cord rod; the lower connecting rod is connected with the pull-cord rod; the upper connecting rod is connected with an upper surrounding tube; the upper connecting rod is movably connected with the lower connecting rod; the lower connecting rod is arranged in the pull-cord rod; the pull-cord rod is provided with an engaging structure; the lower connecting rod penetrates through the engaging structure and is connected with a pulling mechanism; the pulling mechanism is arranged in a vertical column; and one end of the vertical column is connected to the corner connecting rod folding mechanism.

A bassinet includes a frame unit, two legs pivotally connected to the frame unit, a bottom plate disposed between the legs, and a lower limiting mechanism disposed on at least one of the legs. The bottom plate is detachably connected to the legs via the lower limiting mechanism. Another bassinet includes the frame unit, four of the legs pivotally connected to the frame unit and disposed angularly spaced apart from each other, an upper limiting mechanism disposed on at least one of the frame unit and the legs for limiting pivotal movement of the legs away from each other, and the bottom plate detachably connected to the legs to exert forces pushing the legs away from each other.

A crib may include: an upper frame; an enclosure made of flexible material, connected to the upper frame and having an openable side; a lower frame connected to the upper frame and configured to support a mattress; and two guides. The upper frame may include a first portion, connected to the lower frame and having two first ends, and a second portion, movable relative to the first portion and having two second ends. The upper frame may be switched between a closed configuration, in which the second ends are locked with respect to the first ends, and an open configuration, in which the second portion is spaced from the first ends. The guides may extend from the first portion of the upper frame toward the lower frame. The second ends may be configured to slide along a respective guide to move from the closed to the open configuration.

A hammock consisting of a reclining surface and two opposite tapering ends. Each end leading to a suspension, wherein the base surface of the hammock is fashioned as an open ellipse with pointed converging ends in the form of end pieces. The reclining surface comprises a roughly rectangular middle region, which is stitched at both transverse edges each time to an edge of a roughly triangular or circular segment shaped end piece, which leads to a suspension at its free, pointed end.

A crib adapted for using alongside with a bed includes a frame body which has an upper frame, a lower frame adapted for standing on a ground, a plurality of supporters coupled between the upper frame and the lower frame, and a supporting frame which is supported on the supporters; a bed cover detachably coupled to the upper frame and supported by the supporting frame for defining a receiving cavity above the supporting frame; and a supporting unit coupled to the frame body for abutting a side of the bed to avoid or reduce a gap between the crib and the bed.

This disclosure provides designs for inexpensive devices that can be sturdy, pleasing to the eye, light in weight, and attractively padded, to form an enclosure around an infant or neonate that is open at its bottom. These devices protect neonates from injury during bed-sharing or co-sleeping with other individuals. These enclosures include roll-over bars to protect infants and neonates from being injured or asphyxiated by weight of a co-sleeper inadvertently moving on top of a roll-over bar. Devices can be shaped to allow for easy placement and removal of the infant, or to place the enclosure with the respective roll-over bar(s) over an infant. Roll-over bar(s) can be hinged or intercalated with pivots to deflect frame base portions when an infant body part finds itself accidentally caught under them. The rotation can be limited to an angle that still allows for the roll-over bar to be above an infant's body when frame base portion(s) are raised above the sleeping surface by the pressure and forces exerted on a roll-over bar when a co-sleeper inadvertently moves over a roll-over bar.

An infant seat includes a seat back member having an outer hub, a seat support member, a base member and a seat structure pivoted to the seat back member and the seat support member, and a locking mechanism including a slide gear and operably disposed on the seat back member. The seat support member has an inner hub pivoted to the outer hub to make the seat back member rotatably connected to the seat support member. The slide gear is transversely slidable within the outer and inner hubs for engaging with the outer and inner hubs to stop rotation of the inner hub on the outer hub. When the locking mechanism translates the slide gear to the unlocked position, the slide gear is disengaged from the outer hub to make the seat back member rotatable relative to the seat support member for adjusting a tilt angle of the seat structure.
