A bassinet includes a main frame, a bassinet frame and a height adjusting assembly. The bassinet frame is detachably installed on the main frame and slidably installed on the main frame by a sliding track of the height adjusting assembly. The bassinet frame is vertically movable between a first position and a second position. When the bassinet frame is located at the first position, a supporting surface of the bassinet frame is located in close proximity to a top surface of the main frame, so that the bassinet provides an unhindered view of a child in the bassinet frame. The bassinet can be used as a normal bassinet when the bassinet frame is located at the second position. The main frame and the bassinet frame can be used as a standard play yard and a stand-alone bassinet when the bassinet frame is detached from the main frame.

A play yard comprises two brackets, two rail members, two support frames, a central member, a plurality of connecting members and a latch mechanism. The rail members are pivotally connected to the brackets. Each of the support frames comprises two upper support members and a lower support member. The upper support members are pivotally connected to the brackets. The lower support member is pivotally connected to the upper support members. The connecting members are pivotally connected to the central member and the lower support member. The latch mechanism is configured to lock or unlock the connecting members. When the latch mechanism locks the connecting members, the rail members, the upper support members, the lower support member and the connecting members are unfolded. When the latch mechanism unlocks the connecting members, the rail members, the upper support members, the lower support member and the connecting members are able to be folded.

A convertible crib device providing a crib, playpen and changing table in combination includes a frame having a plurality of panels. Each of the panels has a lower section telescopically coupled to an upper section. The frame has a plurality of corner posts. Each of the panels extends between an associated adjacently positioned pair of the corner posts to form an enclosure. A mattress support is coupled to the frame within the enclosure forming a crib configuration. The mattress support is removable from the frame and the lower section of each of the panels is extendable downwardly such that the frame forms a playpen configuration.

An infant calming/sleep-aid device that includes a moving platform and a sound generator, the sound and motion adapted to calm a fussy baby, induce sleep, and maintain sleep under normal conditions. The device makes a determination as to whether sound signals represent sound coming from inside the device or outside the device. If the sound signals are coming from the inside the device, then the signals are evaluated in a specified frequency band to determine whether the sound is a baby cry. If a determination is made that there is a baby cry, then a threshold analysis is performed to quantify the cry and compare it to a threshold value. If the cry is above a specified threshold, the device moves the platform and/or generates sound.

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 play pen has a frame and a fabric substrate defining an enclosure and has a main body. The frame has a plurality of legs and a central post. The main body has an entrance, a plurality of storage pockets, and a display pocket. The entrance has a first fastener. The plurality of storage pockets defines a first pocket formed between the main body and a storage sheet. The storage sheet is sewn to the main body on a first edge and secured to the main body on a second edge by a second fastener. The display pocket defines a second pocket formed between the main body and a transparent or translucent cover sheet. The cover sheet is sewn to the main body on a third edge and secured to the main body on a fourth edge by a third fastener, and faces the enclosure.
