Abstract
A foldable cradle for supporting an infant seat. The foldable cradle includes a pair of spaced, generally parallel, cross-members, each cross-member having a leg depending from one end thereof and a second leg depending from the other leg thereof. The first legs are pivotally connected at a point intermediate the first legs and the second legs are pivotally connected at a point intermediate the second legs so that a frame is formed having an X-shape when viewed from the side in an open position. In the open position, the cross-members are each at a fixed vertical elevation above a planar surface defined by the opposite end of the legs. The foldable cradle includes means for supporting an infant seat. The means includes a flexible member secured on one end to one of the cross-members secured to the opposing end of the other cross-members to form a swing wherein the infant seat is supported by the flexible member as suspended therebetween, The flexible member is preferably a meshed fabric material such as nylon strand fixedly connected in a web-like pattern.
