ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE PRESENT INVENTION
1. Field of Invention
The present invention relates to a playpen, and more particularly to a collapsible playpen with detachable cot, which is capable of accommodating a baby or young child therein while being cost effective.
2. Description of Related Arts
Playpen is used to restrict the movement of a baby or a young child who is able to trail or walk when the parents cannot always keep their eyes on their babies. A conventional playpen comprises four vertical posts to support a cloth boundary that a baby or a young child can dispose therein. In order to restrict the movement of the baby within the area, the vertical posts must be high enough that the baby cannot climb out of the playpen. However, it is a hassle for the parent to pull and take a small child in the playpen.
Besides, for accommodating the baby comfortly, the parent usually pulls his or her baby on the cot. Therefore, the parent may merely purchase the playpen and cot individually to fit the need of the baby. However, it is unreasonable for the parent to buy all the baby's accessories at once, which is not only waste the money but also a waste of the luxury space.
