Portable rocker for baby cribs and the like

A portable rocker attachable to an existing baby crib for soothing a restless infant, said rocker comprising:

• an oscillating basket pivotally mounted to the crib, said basket having a removable mattress laying horizontally therein and covering an entire bottom surface of said basket;
• first and second brackets directly coupled to an outer surface of said basket, said brackets being located at axially opposed ends of said basket;
• first and second pairs of rectilinear anchor arms having proximal ends pivotally connected to said first and second brackets respectively, said first and second pairs of anchor arms further having axially opposed distal ends laterally spanning away from said basket and terminating adjacent to a frame of the crib, said first and second pairs of anchor arms being telescopically adjustable along a longitudinal length thereof such that said basket can be attached to alternate portions of the crib while said basket remains medially and centrally oriented within the crib, wherein each of said first and second pairs of anchor arms are independently articulated such that said basket is longitudinally adjusted within said crib;
• a plurality of support levers removably conjoined directly to a top edge of the crib wherein said support levers are linearly displaced along said top edge such that said first and second pairs of anchor arms become articulated about said proximal ends thereof respectively, said distal ends of said first and second pairs of anchor arms being pivotally connected to support levers such that said proximal and distal ends of said anchor arms are simultaneously pivotal about vertically registered fulcrum axes, wherein said support levers maintain said basket in a substantially horizontal position and spaced from a bottom surface of the crib such that said basket freely oscillates during operating conditions;
• means for symmetrically oscillating said basket along a horizontal plane while said first and second pairs of anchor arms remain statically engaged with said top edge of the crib;
• and
• means for automatically playing back an audio file while said basket is oscillating.
