ASTM F3084-22 PDF Download

A common consumer safety specification called ASTM F3084-22 seeks to encourage the secure use of baby and toddler rockers. The standards, test procedures, and marking requirements for the rockers are all included in the standard.

The standard's scope clearly states that rockers used by both the occupant (an infant or toddler) and the caregiver are included. It is significant to note that the standard excludes hand-held infant carriers, sleep items with rocking features, and rockers designed solely for toddler use without a restraining mechanism. 

By accounting for both typical use and reasonably foreseen misuse or abuse of the rocker, the consumer safety specification seeks to reduce the potential for injury to the occupant. If manufacturers want to claim compliance, they must make sure their rockers meet all the specifications of the standard.

It is important to note that this criterion does not cover events or injuries brought on by other people interacting with the occupier or by instances of child abuse or neglect.
