Abstract: A foldable baby bed for infants and very young children which can be used at the level of and attached to the bed of the parent or as a free standing unit. The legs of the baby bed can adjust to various heights and the front legs can be locked into a forward horizontal orientation so as to slide under the mattress of a conventional bed and form an extension of that bed permitting the baby to be near the parent so that the parent does not have to get up or to bend over to reach for the baby. The baby bed has a flexible, detachable front wall which can be rolled down at the convenience of the parent making the baby's sleeping surface contiguous with that of the parent. The baby bed is portable and folds flat for storage or travel. A pocket attached to the side holds necessaries for the baby such as diapers and powder.
