A child motion apparatus includes an apparatus base, a movable carrier, a seat mount, a motion mechanism, and a seat assembly. The movable carrier is movably disposed on the apparatus base along a sliding direction. The seat mount is rotatably connected to the movable carrier about a rotation axis perpendicular to the sliding direction. The motion mechanism includes a sliding mechanism and a rotating mechanism. The sliding mechanism connects the movable carrier and the apparatus base for sliding the movable carrier relative to the apparatus base along the sliding direction. The rotating mechanism is disposed on the movable carrier and connected to the seat mount for rotating the seat mount about the rotation axis. The seat assembly is detachably connected to the seat mount, so that the seat assembly slides and rotates together with the seat mount.

An apparatus for soothing a child is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a cart, a conveyor belt, and a stabilization frame. The cart is configured to receive and support a child seat, and includes a plurality of downwardly extending wheels. The conveyor belt is disposed below the cart to support the cart. The conveyor belt has an uneven surface. The wheels of the cart role over the uneven surface while the conveyor belt operates. The stabilization frame extends higher than the conveyor belt, surrounds the conveyor belt, and is configured to maintain the cart over the conveyor belt while the conveyor belt operates. Movements created by the wheels of the cart rolling over the uneven surface are transmitted via the cart to the child seat, which can have a soothing effect on a child seated therein.

A collapsible swing frame for supporting a child receiving receptacle includes first and second support members, and upper swing mechanism, and a cross-brace pivotally coupled between the first and second support members. Preferably, the collapsible swing frame is movable between an expanded configuration and a collapsed configuration. Preferably, the cross-brace provides a rigid and substantially supportive connection between the first and second support members.

An infant chair having a seat portion carried by a support portion is provided. The seat portion includes two support pins at a proximal end thereof received within the support portion for connecting the seat portion thereto. The support pins are disposed above a center of gravity of the seat portion and define a substantially vertical swing axis therebetween. The seat portion is configured to oscillate about the swing axis.

An infant chair apparatus includes a support base, a seat frame, a support base and a motion driving module. The seat frame is pivotally supported on the support base by an upright column, the seat frame being rotatable relative to the support base about a pivot axis, and the upright column including a column portion affixed with an underside of the seat frame. The motion driving module is attached with the support base, and includes a driving part that is arranged below the seat frame at a location offset from the pivot axis, the motion driving module being operable to cause reciprocated rotation of the driving part that imparts a substantially horizontal oscillating motion to the column portion and the seat frame.

A juvenile product includes an electrically powered component, and a power connector coupled to the electrically powered component, and the power connector is compatible with a universal standard connector format. The universal standard connector format can be for example, compatible with a standard consumer electronic device connector format, such as a USB connector format.

A rocker assembly for settling a child, the assembly including a base, an upper platform attached to the base by a mounting assembly, the mounting assembly including at least one linking arm pivotally attached to both the base and the upper platform to space the upper platform from the base and to limit the movement of the upper platform relative to the base, wherein the upper platform is connected to a rotating drive via a connecting arm and the connecting arm is attached circumferentially relative to the rotating drive such that rotation of the rotating drive is translated into an at least partially reciprocating movement of the upper platform.

A child-support device includes a child-soothing device attached thereto in a position convenient for use and conveniently stored on the child-support device when not in use. The child-support device is for example a bouncer, rocker, swing, other motion device, high chair, car seat, carrier, stroller, bassinet, crib, or other device for supporting a child. And the child-soothing device is for example a blanket, pacifier, plush toy, other toy, or other device or object for soothing use by a child. In example embodiments, the child-soothing device is stored in a receptacle on a front lap-positioned junction member of a harness assembly of the child-support device and attached to the junction member, stored in a receptacle on a side-support portion of the child-support device and attached to the side-support portion, or attached to the junction member by a connector strap.
