ABSTRACT:
A crib rail safety monitor alerts a child's attendant to the potential injurious situation when a child is located within a crib and the crib side rail is in the down or lowered position. Preferably, a flashing light will first alert the attendant to the condition without awakening the child. If, however, the attendant leaves the vicinity of the child's crib, with the child within the crib and the crib side rail lowered, then an audible alarm is activated. The crib rail position indicator can be an ordinary magnetic reed switch, the mechanism to indicate the presence of a child within the crib can be a weight sensor and the attendant's presence or absence can be performed by an ultrasonic motion detector or an infrared temperature sensor. Timers can be electrically interconnected with the components to ensure the child's safety while, at the same time, allowing the attendant the opportunity, before the audible alarm is activated, to remember to raise the crib rail prior to leaving the vicinity of the crib.
