The baby carrier is a furniture item. The baby carrier is adapted for use with an infant. The baby carrier is a hand carried item. The baby carrier is a reclined seat that forms a small bed. The baby carrier allows the infant to be carried while resting in the baby carrier. The baby carrier comprises an infant carrier, a control circuit, and a personal data device. The personal data device forms a communication link with the control circuit. The control circuit mounts in the infant carrier. The control circuit rocks the infant carrier. The control circuit vibrates the infant carrier. The control circuit announces audible sounds intended to soothe the infant while in the baby carrier.

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 bassinet configured to prevent and treat plagiocephaly of an infant via an automated pivoting floor platform (bed) via an actuating motor disposed of in communication with a controlling timer, a power source, and at least one support. The motor is preferably insulated to ensure a quiet operation, minimizing the possibility of waking the infant during use. A soothing sound machine is preferably integrated into the apparatus and may be optionally activated at the user's will for a more restful sleep. The floor platform is preferably configured to tilt 15-20 degrees to either side, slowly, in an oscillating manner in intervals of 15 minutes. Straps present in communication with the floor platform and/or side walls of the bassinet facilitate the connection of a swaddle or onesie to the floor platform, ensuring the infant remains in position even when tilted. Tilting of the head is allowed, preventing flatting of the head in a single area due to the automatic movement of the head during the sleep session.

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.

Systems and methods are disclosed for autonomously soothing babies. An example method may include receiving a first sound input from a microphone, processing the first sound input, determining a baby status based at least in part on the first sound input, determining an output action based at least in part on the baby status; and implementing the output action at the children's apparatus.

A bassinet assembly is disclosed herein. A sway lock is provided for a swaying mechanism such that swaying motion of the bassinet can be allowed or prevented via actuation or deactivation of the lock. In another aspect, a height adjustment feature is implemented with the bassinet assembly. The height adjustment feature includes a height adjustment mechanism and an offset support member that both provide different configurations for adjusting a height of the bassinet assembly. The bassinet assembly also provides the ability to quickly remove the bassinet from a bassinet support.

A dynamic furniture system includes a first frame portion; a set of rollers mounted to the first frame portion; a second frame portion including one or more rockers having a roller-interface surface having a curved profile; wherein the set of rollers interface with the roller-interface surface of the rockers such that the second frame portion is moveable relative to the first frame portion; a set of one or more electromagnets mounted to or integrated with the first frame portion or the second frame portion; a set of one or more magnetically-interactive elements mounted to or integrated with a different one of the first frame portion or the second frame portion; and an electronic control system configured to vary a parameter of electrical energy supplied to the set of electromagnets over time to induce back and forth motion of one of the first frame portion or the second frame portion.

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 a first and a second hanging bar that are disposed at a same side of the child support frame, the first hanging bar having a first end portion pivotally connected with the mounting portion, and the second hanging bar having a second end portion pivotally connected with the mounting portion. Each of the first end portion and the second end portion is pivotally connected with the mounting portion at a position that is adjustable on the mounting portion.
