ABSTRACT:
A first playpen enclosure that converts easily to a bassinet, a changing table or a bed-side crib (hereinafter referred to as a "co-sleeper") that attaches securely to the parents' bed. A described second enclosure support system maintains a padded enclosure and rigid floor panel at a predetermined level below the top of the playpen to form the bassinet. The second enclosure has a back, two sides, a bottom and a front flap that overhangs the front horizontal rail. The upper front corners are segmented into a removable section and a fixed section to facilitate the removal and unseating of the front horizontal rail to a second position at a first predetermined distance from the top position. Cooperating junctures affixed to the front vertical rails accept the removable sections and securely seat the rail in this second position. The supports, padded enclosure and rigid floor panel complete the changing table with the front flap hanging down in front. The playpen can be placed adjacent the parents' bed with the front flap extended over the bed for use as a co-sleeper. For such use, uniquely designed reinforcing straps secure the unit to the parents' bed and prevent the co-sleeper from sliding, buckling or lifting. The unit is easily folded with the components into a compact package carrying case for transport or storage.
