Abstract: A rocking infant carrier includes a seat portion for holding an infant, and oppositely disposed curved rails, that contact the ground surface. A panel is movably mounted to the carrier between the oppositely disposed rails. A mechanism for moving the panel, for rocking the carrier, is in the space between the rails and the panel. Rocking occurs as the panel is moved between retracted and extended positions, while the carrier remains in its initial location (position) during the entire time of rocking. Additionally, the rocking is such that it will normally lull an infant to a relaxed state, whereby they fall asleep.
