The present disclosure provides for an infant swing simulating a human form preferably comprising an animated body including an upper body portion simulating a human trunk, arms, shoulders, neck and head portions as well as a lower body portion. A frontally worn infant carrier is preferably connected to the shoulders and waist of the animated body. The lower body portion is operatively connected to a base having a motor to pivot the body in an oscillatory manner. The head portion preferably includes a 3D-printed interchangeable face mask resembling a caretaker of the infant. In a preferred embodiment, the animated body includes a sound recorder, speaker, vibrating motor, and heating elements disposed therein for soothing and comforting an infant.

A crib to be placed adjacent to a parents' bed comprises an enclosure supported by an upper frame and a lower frame. The upper frame comprises a fixed portion and a movable portion at an openable side of the enclosure. In a closed configuration, the ends of the movable portion are locked with respect to the ends of the fixed portion to close the openable side, and in an open configuration the movable portion is spaced apart from the ends of the fixed portion to open the openable side. Two guides extend from the fixed portion of the upper frame toward the lower frame, and the ends of movable portion are able to slide along the guides to move from the closed configuration to the open configuration.

A baby crib comprises a frame; a plurality of peripheral walls made of a flexible material and secured to the frame; a bottom secured to the frame; at least one of the peripheral walls has a variable height; a support structure for supporting the frame, which is configured to increase and/or decrease the height from the bottom, elastic return members are fixed to said frame and are adapted to be fixed to a bed to push the frame against the bed.

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.

A child motion device including a support frame, a frame hub coupled to the support frame, a gliding swing mechanism pivotally mounted to the frame hub, and a cantilevered child support portion pivotally mounted to the gliding swing mechanism. In example embodiments, the child support portion can be in the form of a child seat or a bassinet. In example embodiments, the child support portion can be oriented between multiple seat-facing orientations for providing either of a side-to-side gliding movement or a front-to-back gliding movement.

A motion apparatus for use in combination with a standard infant carrier, such as a car seat. The motion apparatus comprises a support structure and a frame for receiving the transportable base of an infant car seat, and a drive assembly, which, when activated causes motion of the infant carrier. Methods and devices of the invention are useful to soothe an infant.
