Technology No. 2024-AHLE-70633

Researchers at Purdue University have developed a wall-mountable and foldable nursery rocking chair. Due to the multiple pieces of furniture commonly found in modern nurseries, many families living in smaller spaces may not have room for a rocking chair. The rocking chair developed at Purdue, termed "Rock-a-Bye", instead combats this issue as the chair can be mounted and stored against a wall and fold out when needed. The chair is also equipped with components that allow the chair to be rocked with minimal effort. Suitable for any room, the Rock-a-Bye chair's design provides parents substantial comfort and convenience.
