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 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.

An infant sleep inducing device that in application, simulates the vibrations that occur in an automobile to soothe a restless infant. The infant sleep inducing device generally comprising a playback device connected to an amplifier, a tactile transducer, a battery source, a housing that defines an inner chamber, and a mounting bracket. A top panel is releasably attached to the housing and includes a central opening. The playback device, amplifier, and battery source are contained within the inner chamber in such a way as to define a recessed portion in the inner chamber. The recessed portion is aligned with the central opening of the top panel. The tactile transducer is received within the recessed portion and a head of the transducer is aligned to project through the central opening of the top panel and is in direct contact with a surface area, such as a surface portion of the infant carrier to transmit physical vibrational impulses to the surface area.

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.

A multi-cradle system for managing multiple infants is provided. The multi-cradle system includes multiple cradles to carry multiple infants. The cradles are mounted on a supporting frame. Each cradle is assigned a unique identifier. The system includes a profile module and a mapping module. The profile module is configured for storing at least one user profile of an infant. The mapping module is configured for dynamically linking the user profile to one of the cradles using the unique identifier thereof, when the infant is placed therein.

An infant calming/sleep-aid device is provided that includes a sleep sack into which an infant can be placed, the sleep sack having an upper portion and a lower portion, the upper portion adapted to enclose the infant's torso and arms, the lower portion adapted to enclose the infant's hips, legs, and feet, wherein the upper portion of the sleep sack is wider than the lower portion to allow for infant to be swaddled while wearing a sleeper garment.

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.

Vibration devices are described that provide soothing movement or motion to a person, such as an infant or toddler, laying in a bed. The vibration devices are not part of, but are separately attachable to/removable from, the bed. The vibration devices utilize a control section that is outside the bed and a passive or active transmission element located underneath the mattress that transfers vibration motion to mattress the person is laying on. The devices described herein may also produce noise resulting from the generated movement that may be soothing to the person laying on the mattress.
