  • Publication number: 20250366629
    Abstract: A mountable bassinet is provided. The bassinet is configured to remain in an upright, usable configuration when mounted to a structure, such as a playard. However, when the bassinet is removed from the playard, the bassinet automatically changes configuration to signal to the user that the bassinet should no longer be used (for example, the bassinet should not be used to hold a child while the bassinet is on the ground). For example, this may be accomplished by providing supporting arms on the bassinet that are configured to remain locked while the bassinet is mounted on the playard, but unlock, causing the bassinet to tilt or collapse when the bassinet is removed from the playard.
