A cover for an infant confining device having a bottom, four sides, and an open top is described. The cover includes a body formed of a dark stretchable material and having at least one side with a top and bottom portion. The body is configured to stretch around the four sides of the infant confining device such that the top portion extends over the open top and the bottom portion extends to the bottom. The cover includes a roof flap of dark non-stretchable material with four sides. One side of the roof flap is coupled with the top portion of the body while the rest are unattached and larger than the infant confining device. The unattached sides of the roof flap drape over the top portion of the at least one side of the body and respective sides of the infant confining device.

A pop up cover for a crib is provided for providing a safe, comfortable and isolated environment for a child in a crib. The pop-up cover may be made of breathable fabric panels having an integrated frame, for example a flexible frame, which can be folded (collapsed) on itself, for example when folded in specific ways if appropriate force is applied and which keeps the fabric in a taught, open position when unfolded (preventing the panels form falling inwards onto each other). The pop up cover can be lightweight and compact, quick and easy to set up, dark inside and breathable.

The invention is a foldable protective canopy for attachment to a bed, the canopy comprising at least first, second and third generally U-shaped frames including respective ends joined at first and second hinges removably attachable to a bed, the canopy having a deployed position wherein the first and second U-shaped frames extend upwardly and the third U-shaped frame extends horizontally from the first and second hinges, a flexible sheet is secured to the first, second and third U-shaped frames, the sheet forming a top wall and side walls over the patient, the first U-shaped frame defining an opening into the canopy to permit room air to enter the canopy, the canopy including a folded position wherein the first and second U-shaped frames are rotatable about the first and second hinges toward the third U-shaped frame to expose the head of a patient.

An umbrella canopy that opens and closes not from a stick from within the interior of the umbrella canopy but from the exterior crown where a line is pulled to open the umbrella canopy and where a button is pushed to close the umbrella canopy.
