Cradle was a band that Suzi Quatro played in, in the early 1970s before she became a huge star. Of important note is that future N.Y. Doll Jerry Nolan played with her in this band.
Cradle may also mean a hardware on which a wireless phone sits on for charging.
It is also an Aerial circus act where acrobats act as either catchers, swinging other performers back and forth on a large rectangular frame, or flyers, those being swung.
