The present invention provides an infant swing frame having a base, and first and second support posts. Each of the support posts is pivotally coupled at a first end thereof to the base, and each of the support posts has a second end. A cross member is coupled between the support posts. The support posts and the base are reconfigurable between a first position in which the support posts are angularly spaced from the base and a second position in which the support posts are adjacent the base.

A child swing includes a foldable support stand, a child seat and a locking device. The support stand includes two front support legs, two rear support legs, and two first coupling housings interconnecting the front and rear support legs such that the rear support legs can pivot toward the front support legs. Two swing arms are connected respectively and pivotally to the first coupling housings. Two second coupling housings are connected respectively and fixedly to lower ends of the swing arms. Two U-shaped support rods are connected to the second coupling housings, and are pivotable toward each other. The locking device locks the child seat releaseably on the U-shaped support rods.
An adjustable infant holder apparatus includes a support structure that has a base support and a head support situated at opposing longitudinal ends and mutually coupled by a longitudinal stabilizer. A seat is adjustable between an inclined lying position and an upright sitting position. The seat has a base end that is suspended from the base support and a head end that is suspended from the head support. Optionally, at least one of the base and head ends is suspended by at least one cable that permits the seat to swing back and forth laterally. Embodiments include a linear actuator that can force the swinging motion.
