ABSTRACT:
A “smart crib” has a frame movably supported by posts, a mattress supported on the frame, the frame being movable between a raised position and a lowered position, a protective enclosure surrounding the frame and mattress, having at least one portion movable between a raised and a lowered position. The crib also includes a first elevation mechanism for moving the frame between the lowered position and the raised position, and a second elevation mechanism for moving the enclosure portion between the raised position and the lowered position. A controller is provided which is responsive to a user's inputs to selectively activate the first elevation mechanism, the second elevation mechanism or both mechanisms to move the frame with the bed and the movable enclosure portion to positions selected by the user between their respective raised and lowered positions, to ease not only placing a baby into the crib, but to also integrate other devices such as baby monitors, temperature and proximity sensors, and even to provide for remote computer access to check in and monitor baby activity.
