Abstract: An exemplary baby diaper changing station (260) includes a table (264) that is configured to be in operative supported connection with a wall (262) through a pair of transversely disposed mounting brackets (266, 268). The table is in movable rotatable connection with the mounting brackets. The table is rotatably movable between a use position in which a generally planar changing surface (280) extends generally horizontal and faces upward, and a stored position in which the table extends parallel to the wall and in outwardly overlying relation of the mounting brackets. A pair of torsion springs (348) that are associated with respective joints (276, 278) operate to rotationally bias the table toward the stored position once the table has been rotationally moved by the user away from the use position.

Abstract: A child crib arrangement includes a pair of crib sidewalls (14, 16) and a pair of crib end walls (18, 20). A bottom panel (22) extends horizontally and in intermediate relation between the crib walls. A transparent side panel (272) includes a lower side panel end surface (296) that is releasably engaged in a horizontally elongated slot (130). The transparent side panel further includes at least one turned portion (292, 294) that includes a respective aperture (304, 306). A portion of a top rail (84) extends through the aperture. At least one transparent end panel (274) is in operative attached connection with a crib end wall. The transparent end panel may be in interengaging relation with the side panel to provide resistance to relative movement of the side panel and the end panel.

Abstract: A baby diaper changing station (10) includes a base (16) that is configured to be in fixed connection with a wall (12). A table (14) is in movable rotatable connection with the base. The table is movable between a use position in which a changing surface (18) extends generally horizontal and faces upward, and a stored position in which the table extends parallel to the wall and in overlying relation of the base. The table is supported through rails (108, 110) that extend in respective channels (102, 104) within the table. Stop pins (154) are configured to stop rotation of the table in the use position and to prevent damage to the changing station from an excessive downward load on the table. The stop pins are frangible so that if an excessive load is applied, the pins bend and break without causing damage to other structures. The changing station can be returned to service by replacement of the stop pins.

Abstract: A height adjustable child seat (10) includes a generally rectangular body (12) which includes a seat recess (18). The child seat is supported by four legs (24) each of which includes an upper leg (26) and a lower leg (32) that extend in telescoping relation. Each leg includes a releasable latch (34) including a positioning projection (36) which is selectively engageable in axially disposed positioning apertures (38). Each leg is in connection with a foot (50) which includes a disc (56) with an overlying tread layer (66). The child seat includes a child holding harness (78) that includes at least one flat plastic band that has smooth surfaces on all sides thereof.

Abstract: A stroller assembly is provided that includes a frame. The stroller assembly may also include a plurality of wheel assemblies that are operable to mount to the frame. In addition, the stroller assembly may include a front seat module and a back seat module comprised of a plastic material. The front seat module and the back seat module may include integral fastener members that are operative to engage with each other when the front seat module and the back seat module are mounted to the frame.

Abstract: A cot is provided that has a frame having a shape of a continuous loop. The frame bounds an interior area of the loop and the interior area is covered by a fabric covering. The frame includes an outer perimeter. At least two legs are mounted to the frame and each leg includes a foot portion. The at least two legs are positioned to support the frame above a horizontal floor surface with the foot portions of each leg in contact with the floor surface. Also, each leg extends outwardly and downwardly from the frame such that the foot portions are positioned outwardly of the outer perimeter of the frame in both vertical and horizontal directions.

Abstract: A crib including first, second, third, and fourth walls configured to bound an interior space that is operative to support a mattress therein. Each of the third and fourth walls includes a pair of panels pivotally connected to each other to enable the crib to be configured between a folded position for storage and an extended position for use. The first wall includes a stationary portion and a drop gate that includes opposed side ends. The drop gate pivots relative to the stationary portion between an upper closed position and a lower open position.

Abstract: A cover is provided that is adapted to wrap around at least a portion of a child container such as a crib or play yard. The cover includes at least one fabric sheet having a surface area sufficient to cover substantially all of a top face of a mattress in the child container. The sheet includes at least one mattress fastener such as a sleeve or band that is operative to mount the sheet to the mattress. The cover also includes at least one panel connected to the sheet which wraps inner faces of the walls of the child container, which extends over the upper edges of the walls, and which extends over adjacent portions of the outer faces of the walls. The at least one panel includes at least one fastener component that is usable to fasten the cover adjacent the outer faces is of the child container.

Abstract: A crib is provided that includes a mattress support portion, a horizontal member and a vertical member. The horizontal member may correspond to a portion of a front or back wall of the crib. The vertical member may correspond to a post adjacent the horizontal member, which vertical member includes an upper end that extends above the mattress support portion and a lower end that extends below the mattress support portion. The crib may also include at least one bumper mounted with a fastener that connects the vertical member to the horizontal member of the crib.

Abstract: A crib is provided that includes a drop gate that pivots relative to a stationary portion of a wall from an open position to a closed position. The crib may include a hinge that in the closed position of the drop gate forms a cavity therein that has a height that is sufficiently large to enable a finger of a child to extend into the cavity to be adjacent a pivot axis of the hinge, without being pinched by the hinge. Also, the crib may include a stop surface of a latch device that contacts a projection in a cavity of a striker plate to prevent pivoting of the drop gate into an interior space of the crib. The cavity in the striker plate may include sufficiently large spaces above and below the projection to receive a finger of a child therein without the finger being pinched.
