An infant support structure is disclosed. The infant support structure includes a support base to support the infant support structure on a supporting surface. The infant support structure also includes a seat supported by the support base at a distance above the supporting surface, a lift mechanism configured to selectively impart vertical movement to the seat, and a rotation mechanism configured to, independently of the lift mechanism, rotate the seat about a pivot point. The lift mechanism is configured to allow rotational movement to be imparted to the seat while the seat is undergoing vertical movement.

Frame for an infant support structure

An infant support structure includes a frame, at least one sliding or translating member movably coupled to the frame, a seat support, and at least one resilient member coupling the seat support and at least one translating member together. The frame contains at least two substantially parallel members that are reconfigurable in a compact configuration and an extended configuration. When the frame is configured in the extended configuration, the translating members are able to move from one end of the frame to the other, simulating an infant walker. The resilient members coupling the sliding members and seat support together enable the infant support structure to serve as an infant jumper/bouncer.
