Wippstuhl

[pne]

What's one of these called in English?

Basically, something that you lay a baby in and that bobs up and down a bit if you tap it with your foot.

("Wipper" or "Wippstuhl" in German.)

It is called a "baby bouncer": http://www.thenewparentsguide.com/baby-bouncers-rockers-1.htm

I got the comment notification and clicked on the link from there and thought, huh, my favourite icon of hers, but I fail to see the significance?

...then I clicked through to the entry and saw that you had changed the link :)

I had been talking with Chemla about my icon for the Staff page and that was one of the possibilities and I didn't copy the correct link like I thought I had!

Baby bouncer, or possibly a baby-rocker, although I think the former's more commonplace.
