A portable travel swing and rocker device for children includes a swing frame and a rocker. Either or both of the swing frame and the rocker are foldable for ease of transport. The rocker can be used in a first swinging motion mode when attached to the swing frame, or independently in a second rocking motion mode when detached from the swing frame. Electronic features and controls are optionally provided on the rocker for dual mode operability.

A children's seat and rocker apparatus includes a rocker base, a support assembly, and an elevational support and adjustment mechanism operable between the rocker base and the support assembly to provide support and positional adjustment of the head end of the support assembly. The support and adjustment mechanism is detachable from the support assembly to allow the apparatus to be folded into a collapsed configuration for compact storage and transport.

A convertible children's seat that can be used as a bouncer, a rocker, or as a stationary seat. The convertible children's seat provides a grow-with-me aspect to a typical children's seat by allowing the seat to change to fit the needs of the child as he/she grows and develops.

A modular cradle system for children's gear includes a modular cradle assembly having a hinge frame, coupling hubs extending from the hinge frame, and a child receiving receptacle connectable with the hinge frame. The modular cradle system can be detachably coupled to various gear product bases such as a rocker base, swing, highchair, bassinet, play yard or other desired product base.

A chair facilitates both rocking and bouncing. The chair includes a base adapted to support a seating portion, the seating portion having a surface adapted to be sat on by a user. The seating portion has a bouncing mechanism, such as an exercise ball. A rocking mechanism is provided to cause the base to rock. The rocking mechanism facilitates the rocking back and forth of the user when the user is seated on the seating portion, and the bouncing mechanism facilitates the bouncing of the user when the user is seated on the seating portion. The bouncing is in a bouncing direction that is different than the direction of rocking. The chair is particularly useful for calming a baby and/or for facilitating stimming.

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.

An infant seat is convertible between at least a rocking configuration and a chair configuration. The infant seat includes a seat for supporting an infant and a base supporting the seat. The base includes a rocker member with first and second portions pivotally coupled to one another by a hinge, where each of the first and second portions include a curved rocking surface. The second portion is pivotable about the hinge between first and second positions relative to the first portion. In the first position, the curved rocking surface of the second portion is adjacent to the curved rocking surface of the first portion to support the base on a floor and permit rocking of the base on the floor. In the second position, the second portion extends between the seat and the floor to support the seat and inhibit rocking of the base.

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.

An infant seat includes a seat back member including an outer hub, a seat support member including an inner hub, a seat structure connected to the seat back member, and a locking mechanism including a slide gear and operably disposed on the seat back member. The inner hub is pivotably connected to the outer hub to make the seat back member rotatably connected to the seat support member for forming a cross bar structure. The slide gear is slidable within the outer and inner hubs for engaging with the outer and inner hubs to stop rotation of the inner hub on the outer hub. When the locking mechanism translates the slide gear to an unlocked position, the slide gear is disengaged from the outer hub to make the seat back member rotatable relative to the seat support member for adjusting a tilt angle of the seat structure.

An active sitting chair is provided that encourages a sitter/user to sit actively by requiring balance adjustments and core engagement. The active sitting chair can be efficiently produced while being relatively sturdy and lightweight. The main body may be a monocoque shell that includes a rounded lower portion that contacts the surface the chair is on and promotes wobble of the chair when a sitter is seated on the chair. The chair may also include built-in handles for ease of lifting and a seat portion at the top of the chair that may include a cushion or similar component for increasing the stability and/or comfort of a sitter.
