A child care apparatus includes a standing frame including a mounting portion, and a child support frame held on the standing frame via at least one hanging bar that has an end portion pivotally connected with the mounting portion, the hanging bar being rotatable for swinging the child support frame, wherein the end portion of the hanging bar is pivotally connected with the mounting portion at a position that is adjustable on the mounting portion.

A frame is configured to rest on a support surface and an infant-receiving receptacle is supported above the support surface by the frame. The infant-receiving receptacle includes a bottom/floor panel forming a bed for the child to sleep upon and a peripheral sidewall surrounding the bottom panel and extending between the bottom panel and the frame. The bassinet includes a depth-adjustment mechanism that enables a caregiver to selectively adjust the depth of the infant-receiving receptacle by raising or lowering the bottom panel of the infant-receiving receptacle. Various embodiments can also include wheels, rollers, or other mechanisms for rolling, sliding, or gliding the bassinet across the support surface. Some embodiments include a height-adjustment mechanism, downward-recessed front wall, longitudinal-axis folding canopy, inverted-eggcrate bed pad, and/or base-positioned footrest.

A rectangular, infant crib which can convert into various configurations, especially to allow for a parent to co-sleep with an infant, wherein the front wall is capable of folding downwards to a horizontal position and has a plurality of legs on the outer side of the front wall that are capable of folding down in a manner to support the front wall in the horizontal position.

A bassinet includes a base, a column assembly rotatably connected to the base at a first end of the column assembly, an arm rotatably connected to a second end of the column assembly, a tub frame pivotably connected to the arm, an infant tub retained within the tub frame, the infant tub including a front wall, a back wall, and two side walls and having areas of reduced height along the front wall and at least one of the side walls to provide enhanced access to the infant located within the infant tub, and an insert configured to reversibly fit within an interior of the infant tub.

A rotation joint structure includes a fixed joint, a movable joint, a first limit member, and a second limit member. The fixed base has a locking groove. The movable joint is pivotally connected with the fixed joint. The movable joint has a first slideway and a second slideway connected to each other. The first limit member is movably mounted in the first slideway. The second limit member is movably mounted in the second slideway. When the second limit member is locked in the locking groove, and the first limit member stops the second limit member, the movable joint is locked and cannot be rotated. Thus, the movable joint is disposed at a two-stage locking state.

An infant bed includes a bed body and two support units symmetrically arranged on the bed body. Each support unit includes a lifting assembly and a retaining assembly. The lifting assembly includes a hollow fixing seat fixedly arranged on the retaining assembly and a lifting mechanism. A surface of the hollow fixing seat facing the bed body is provided with a plurality of engagement holes arranged along a longitudinal direction. The lifting mechanism includes a lifting handle, a hollow shell, a pulling wire, a first spring, a pulling element, a second spring, and an engagement element. The pulling wire is connected between the lifting handle and the pulling member. The first spring is arranged around an end of the pulling wire near the pulling member, and two end of the pulling wire are respectively pressed against the pulling member and the shell.

A latching apparatus and method for latching two separable apparatuses. The latching apparatus includes a moveable actuator and a bolt. The moveable actuator has a bolt facing north-pole magnet and bolt facing a south-pole magnet attached thereto. The bolt moves in response to the north-pole magnet and the south-pole magnet when the bolt is adjacent the actuator.

A bassinet includes a main frame and a bassinet frame. The bassinet frame is detachably installed on the main frame. The bassinet frame is vertically movable between a first position and a second position relative to the main frame. When the bassinet frame is located at the first position, a supporting surface of the bassinet frame is located in close proximity to a top surface of the main frame, so that the bassinet provides an unhindered view of a child in the bassinet frame. The bassinet can be used as a normal bassinet when the bassinet frame is located at the second position. The main frame and the bassinet frame can be used as a standard play yard and a stand-alone bassinet when the bassinet frame is detached from the main frame. Therefore, the bassinet of the present invention has multiple purposes.

A bassinet includes a base, a column assembly rotatably connected to the base at a first end of the column assembly, an arm rotatably connected to a second end of the column assembly, a tub frame pivotably connected to the arm, an infant tub retained within the tub frame, the infant tub including a front wall, a back wall, and two side walls and having areas of reduced height along the front wall and at least one of the side walls to provide enhanced access to the infants located within the infant tub, and an insert configured to reversibly fit within an interior of the infant tub.

A collapsible carry cot includes a base member; first and second frame members, wherein the first and second frame members together at least partially define a side or end wall of the carry cot, and wherein the first and second frame members are pivotally coupled together such that pivoting the first and second frame members relative to one another changes a height of the side or end wall of the carry cot, and wherein the first frame member is pivotally movable relatively to the base member and the second frame member is pivotally and slidably movable relative to the base member; and a securing mechanism, the securing mechanism to releasable secure the second frame member relative to the base member, such that sliding of the second frame member relative to the base member is restricted, thereby restricting pivoting of the first frame member relative to the second frame member.
