  • Patent number: 4827542
    Abstract: An inflatable container for use as a crib, playpen, bassinet and safety car bed is provided by a rectangular base and attached side walls, all of which can be inflated by an air pump permanently attached along the top of one side wall. Between adjacent edges of each side wall and the next side wall a zipper is provided which extends from the base to the top edge of the side wall so that when fully closed the side walls define a rectangular structure with open top. Across a center line of each side wall is a fold section which allows a top portion of the wall to fold back downwardly and attach to the base. Ballast pockets can be provided in the base. The device can be used in a vehicle with a strap system including an automatic retraction device whereby the straps on retraction draw down the upper sections of two walls to close the open top and contain the child.
