A cradle that grows transforms into a rocking horse and folds as a suitcase, ready to journey!

When it comes to designing a space for our little bundles of joy, a crib that promises not only a safe and comfortable haven but a world of imaginative possibilities is a definite winner. Case in point, Schwan! Designed to make your baby smile even in their sleep, Schwan is far and beyond this idea. It ensures that every stage of your baby’s growth is met with excitement and comfort.

To that accord, this is a cradle that literally grows out of its essential idea of a cradle into one that doubles as a rocking horse or triples as a suitcase to be carried along when you shift base with your toddler. Beat that!

In its primary feature, Schwan provides a plush sleeping surface that delicately cradles your baby’s growing body. The ergonomic design ensures that your little one enjoys a restful sleep, night after night. But the magic doesn’t stop there.

As your baby starts to explore the world around them, Schwan transforms into a rocking horse: a delightful combination of entertainment and exercise. With a comfortable seat and handles perfectly sized for tiny hands to grip, this rocking horse feature becomes a source of endless joy. The gentle rocking motion not only brings giggles but also has a calming effect.

This safe haven for your child’s sleep and playtime adventures takes on yet another guise – that of a suitcase – with a simple flip and a few folds. The innovative crib becomes a convenient travel companion as foldable legs and a secure lid ensure that your baby’s essentials are packed away neatly, ready to journey.

As parents, we’re always seeking the best for our children. We want them to feel safe, cherished, and inspired. Schwan beautifully captures these aspirations, offering not just a cradle, but a whole world of possibilities with its image of a memory-maker on wheels!

A Cradle for a Tree

To celebrate their new Pluma, Montessori, and Roll cradles, Woodly is planting a tree for each unit sold! Carried out in collaboration with Treedom.it , buyers can track their tree and even check it out with GPS coordinates. Even cooler are the cradles themselves! Check out the design details after the jump.

Roll:

A suspended cradle that swings and bounces, allowing your baby to sleep easier. A birch shell holds a padded nest in pure wool felt for a child’s total comfort. The hanging function allows it to swing side to side, or backwards and forwards. Four strong cotton ropes join together in a  central wood ring connected to a hook on the ceiling. The inside can be pulled out and washed. Within, a cotton and biological spelt husk mattress gives maximum comfort with natural anti-suffocation quality.

Pluma:

For those who like things a little closer to the ground, the Pluma is a soft nest made of pure, non-treated, hand-sewn wool felt in saddle style on a light yet stolid wood structure. Pluma also uses a cotton and biological spelt husk mattress giving it maximum comfort with natural anti-suffocation quality.

Montessori:

A floor bed or cot for when your child is slightly older giving them total freedom to climb on and off. Soft side edges and low clearance ensure safety from night tumbles. A great way to transition to a big boy bed!

Rocker Cradle Lets You Rock out with Your Kid

As a kid, I’d always see my grandma rocking one of her grandkids to sleep in her lap on her rocking chair. (Yes, I was one of those grandkids, although obviously I wouldn’t be able to see myself if I’m the one being rocked.) Somehow, seeing that implanted the image that one day, I’d be rocking a baby to sleep in a rocking chair too. In this case, it won’t be my baby (because I don’t have one yet!) but my sister’s.

One thing I noticed lately is how heavy my niece is now, so my arms feel like they’re about to fall off after ten mere minutes. So when I saw this awesome Rocker Cradle woodworker Scott Morrison, I just knew it’s something like-minded people would love.

Rocker Cradle

The concept is pretty obvious: the adult is supposed to be in the seat, and the tiny tot lays beside you. Of course, it’s more comfortable for the baby if you line his or her space with some bedding or with a blanket.

Rocker Cradle1

When everyone’s all set, start rocking and start your very own family tradition. Just make sure the baby’s tucked in securely and that you don’t rock too hard, or else you might find yourself covered in baby barf.

iPhone biosensor cradle brings us one step closer to having tricorders (video)

iPhone biosensor cradle brings us one step closer to having tricorders video

It seems like every day we're getting a little bit closer to having tricorders, and today's no exception. Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have designed hardware and software that turns the iPhone into a powerful biosensor that's useful for toxin and pathogen testing as well as medical diagnosis. The package consists of a cradle that contains an assortment of lenses and filters which line up with the handset's camera, along with an app that guides the user through the testing process. At the core of the device is a photonic crystal slide which basically turns the iPhone into a high-resolution spectrometer. While the cradle only contains about $200 worth of parts, it's just as accurate as laboratory equipment costing tens of thousands of dollars, with the added bonus of being hand-held. The team just received an NSF grant to explore other applications for the device and is working on a cradle for Android phones. Hit the break for a demo video and a peek into the future.

Just Mobile’s early-2013 range: AluCup, black HeadStand, AluFrame, AluPocket and Gum Max Duo

Just Mobile's early2013 range AluCup, black HeadStand, AluFrame, AluPocket and Gum Max Duo

What we love about CES is that we get to see so many familiar faces in one week, and Just Mobile was one of them this year. Since our visit to its Taiwan office a few months ago, the award-winning accessory maker had been preparing several new products for CES: (from left to right in the above picture) AluCup, black HeadStand, AluFrame, AluPocket and Gum Max Duo. Starting in chronological order we have the black edition of the minimalistic aluminum HeadStand headphone stand, which will join its silver-colored sibling for the same $49.95 price tag at the end of this month. As before, the HeadStand's base comes in two layers for cable management, as well as a spun-metal finish. Check out the rest of the product range after the break.

US retailer pegs Nexus 7 dock release for January 10th, we remain wary

US retailer pegs Nexus 7 dock release for January 10th, we remain wary

ASUS' official dock for the Nexus 7 has been an elusive beast, to put it mildly: Americans, at least, have had to sit tight for half a year if they weren't content with third-party hardware. We just might be reaching the end of that road, if B&H is right. The retailer is listing the audio-capable cradle as arriving January 10th for $40. The accessory could be tantalizingly close as a result, although we'll believe it when we're charging our tablets -- we've seen as many retailers take stabs in the dark on release dates as those that use real information, so we may still be left waiting in a week's time.

Nexus 7 dock hits Japanese ASUS shop with December launch window, ¥3,580 sticker price

Nexus 7 dock hits Japanese ASUS shop with December launch window, 3,580 sticker price

Sick of propping your Nexus 7 up with books, backpacks and terrifying spider-stands? ASUS has something for you -- an official charging cradle. This wedge shaped slab dock was leaked in an accessory presentation back in July, flaunting a Micro USB connector and 3.5mm audio jack -- now it's back, flaunting a ¥3,580 ($42) sticker price on the Japanese ASUS shop. There's no word yet on international availability or official US prices, but the product page pegs the cradle for an early December ship date.
