Infant and Infant/Toddler Rockers
This standard is issued under the fixed designation F3084; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of

INTRODUCTION
This consumer safety specification is intended to minimize the risk of injury or death associated
with a child’s use of an infant or infant/toddler rocker. The specific hazards addressed by this
specification are product disassembly/collapse, stability, and falls from elevated surfaces.
1. Scope
1.1 This consumer safety specification covers establishment of requirements, test methods, and marking requirements to
promote safe use of the rocker by an occupant and a caregiver.
1.2 For purposes of this consumer safety specification, an infant rocker or infant/toddler rocker is a freestanding product
intended to support an occupant in a seated, reclined position and to facilitate rocking by the occupant with the aid of a caregiver
or by other means. Intended occupants for infant rockers are infants who have not developed the ability to sit up unassisted
(approximately 0 to 6 months of age), and infant/toddler rockers have an extended use with occupants until toddler age
1
(approximately 2 ⁄2 years of age). Both infant and infant/toddler rockers include a restraint system.
1.2 This specification does not cover positions or modes on products that recline to 10° or less above the horizontal or are
intended primarily for sleeping. If the rocker can be converted into a product for which an ASTM standard consumer safety
specification exists, the product shall meet the applicable requirements of that standard. For example, a rocker that converts to a
bassinet shall also comply with the applicable requirements of Consumer Safety Specification F2194 when in a bassinet mode. This
specification does not cover rockers intended for toddler only use without a restraint system, hand-held infant carriers, or inclined
sleep products that have the ability to rock or have a rocking mode.
1.3 This consumer safety specification is intended to minimize the risk of injury to an occupant resulting from normal use and
reasonably foreseeable misuse or abuse of an infant or infant/toddler rocker.
1.4 No rocker produced after the approval date of this consumer safety specification shall, either by label or other means,
indicate compliance with this specification unless it conforms to all requirements contained herein.
1.5 This consumer safety specification is not intended to address incidents and injuries resulting from the interaction of other
persons with the occupant in the product or the incidents resulting from abuse or misuse by other children.
1.6 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical
conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
1.7 The following precautionary caveat pertains only to the test methodmethods portion, Section 7, of this consumer safety
specification: This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the
responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety safety, health, and healthenvironmental practices and
determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.8 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization
established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued
by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
