Claim:
1. A system for tilting an infant-supporting device having a thermo-regulated area, the system comprising: a tilt platform configured to be disposed below the infant-supporting device, wherein the tilt platform is configured to tilt about a tilt axis; a housing disposed below the tilt platform; a support member, the support member providing support to the tilt platform to maintain a rotational orientation of the tilt platform about the tilt axis, wherein the support member is held by the housing such that a position of the support member with respect to the housing is adjustable, wherein a rotational motion of the housing causes an adjustment of a vertical position of the support member, and wherein adjustment of the position of the support member with respect to the housing adjusts the rotational orientation of the tilt platform about the tilt axis; a first actuator disposed on a first side relative to the infant-supporting device, wherein the first actuator is operable to adjust the position of the support member with respect to the housing, thereby adjusting the rotational orientation of the tilt platform, and wherein the first actuator is disposed and actuated outside of the thermo-regulated area of the infant-supporting device; and a second actuator disposed on a second side relative to the infant-supporting device that is opposite from the first side, wherein the second actuator is operable to adjust the position of the support member with respect to the housing, thereby adjusting the rotational orientation of the tilt platform, and wherein the second actuator is disposed and actuated outside of the thermo-regulated area of the infant-supporting device.
