7. The child holding accessory according to claim 1 , wherein the first bearing surface when facing upward is generally flat, and the second bearing surface when facing upward has a portion recessing downward.
8. The child holding accessory according to claim 1 , wherein the first bearing surface is configured as a changing table, and the second bearing surface is configured as a sleeping bed.
9. The child holding accessory according to claim 1 , wherein the resting support includes a support board having a first side associated with the first bearing surface, and a second side associated with the second bearing surface, the support board being deformable differently depending on whether the child is placed on the first or second bearing surface.
10. An infant support apparatus comprising:
a rigid support frame;
a reversible resting support having a first and a second bearing surface facing opposite directions, each of the first and second bearing surfaces being positionable to be upwardly facing to receive a child thereon, wherein the first bearing surface when upwardly facing is configured to support the child with a first bearing profile, and the second bearing surface when upwardly facing is configured to support the child with a second bearing profile different from the first bearing profile; and
at least one fixture rotatably connected with the resting support, the fixture being configured to attach the resting support with the rigid support frame at an elevated position above a floor, and the fixture being rotatably assembled with the resting support via a connection that allows rotation of the resting support relative to the fixture and the rigid support frame to position either of the first and second bearing surfaces upwardly facing.
11. The infant support apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the first and second bearing surfaces bend to different depths when the child is respectively placed thereon.
12. The infant support apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the resting support includes a surrounding frame connected with the fixture, and a bearing platform assembled with the surrounding frame and having the first and second bearing surfaces.
13. The infant support apparatus according to claim 12 , wherein the surrounding frame has a first frame portion, and a second frame portion vertically raised relative to the first frame portion.
14. The infant support apparatus according to claim 12 , wherein the bearing platform comprises a cushion element including a first layer where is arranged the first bearing surface, and a second layer where is arranged the second bearing surface .
15. The infant support apparatus according to claim 14 , wherein the first layer includes one of a polyvinyl chloride (PVC)-based fabric, ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA)-based polymer fabric, and any water-proof and easy to wipe-off fabrics, and the second layer includes one of a cotton cloth, flannelette, and any soft and comfortable fabric.
