A system, method and/or kit for assembling multiple different children's accessories using shared or modular components or parts to assembly multiple different accessory modalities or configurations. In example embodiments, the multiple different accessory modalities or configurations may include one or more of a gym or play mat, a play gym, an activity jumper, an activity center, a play table, and/or a playhouse.

An infant swing system may include a base structure, a vertical support coupled to the base structure, a frame that includes a wire portion coupled to the vertical support, and a seat removably coupled to the frame. A bouncer may be disposed in the vertical support. The bouncer is configured to cause the seat to bounce in a vertical direction to simulate a parent bouncing the child. A rotator may be disposed in the vertical support. The rotator is configured to cause the seat to move in a lateral direction to simulate a parent swaying the child. A tapper component may be coupled to the rear side of the seat. The tapper component may include a spring, a weighted head coupled to the spring, and a motor. The tapper component is configured to tap the rear side of the seat to simulate a parent tapping the child on the back.

Disclosed are a baby carrier, a swing mechanism, and a seat connecting structure. The baby carrier includes a main frame, a swing bracket assembly, and a seat. The main frame is configured to be supported by ground. The seat is pivotally connected to the main frame through the swing bracket assembly, so as to be able to swing backwards and forwards relative to the main frame.

A dual occupancy automated rocker assembly for comforting and entertaining at least two children includes a base, which is positionable on a substantially horizontal surface. A frame is engaged to and extends from the base. A seating module is pivotally engaged to the frame. At least two children can be positioned in the seating module so that the children are engaged to the seating module. A power module is engaged to the frame or the base. A motor is engaged to the frame and is operationally engaged to the power module and the seating module. The power module can selectively power the motor to rock the seating module to comfort the children.

A swing apparatus includes an arm assembly including a seat, and a frame assembly coupled to the arm assembly. The frame assembly defines a pivot axis about which the arm assembly rotates during operation of the swing apparatus. The swing apparatus also includes an electromagnet disposed on the frame assembly, and a plurality of permanent magnets disposed on the arm assembly and positioned to define an arc centered on the pivot axis. The electromagnet has an angular offset about the pivot axis relative to the plurality of permanent magnets positioned along the arc when the swing apparatus is in a neutral position.

An infant care apparatus includes a base; a drive mechanism disposed on the base; a controller electronically coupled to the drive mechanism; and a support device coupled to the drive mechanism. The support device is configured to be moved in both a horizontal and vertical direction relative to the base by the drive mechanism. The drive mechanism is controlled by the controller to move the support device in a plurality of motion profiles relative to the base.
