A cradle for an infant is disclosed which is collapsible and which provides several different rocking motions. The framework of the cradle is comprised of an outer frame with an inner frame suspended therein. The outer frame has an open position and a collapsed position and comprises two hoops connected at a first pair of pivots to pivot between the open and collapsed positions, the lower portions of the hoops serving as rockers. The inner frame comprises two U-shaped portions connected to each other at a second pair of pivots. The inner frame is connected to the outer frame at a third pair of pivots proximate the apexes of the U-shaped portions at opposite upper portions of the hoops equidistant from the pivots of the first pair, so that the inner frame can swing within the outer frame about the third pair of pivots. A collapsible receptacle is supported by the inner frame and oriented for side-to-side swinging motion about its longitudinal axis. Damping means is provided to damp the relative motion of the inner and outer frames. The cradle is capable of a rocking motion of the outer frame and a substantially independent swinging motion of the inner frame.
