Child support devices using layered mesh material

A bassinet, comprising:

• a support frame comprising at least one leg;
• and
• a child receiving portion supported by the at least one leg of the support frame, the child receiving portion comprising an upper frame member, a floor for supporting a child within the child receiving portion spaced apart from the upper frame member, and a sidewall extending between the upper frame member and the floor, the sidewall including a layered mesh having a light transmittance coefficient, wherein the light transmittance coefficient is (1) less than a first threshold at which brightness of light passing into the child-receiving portion via the layered mesh decreases by thirty percent and (2) greater than a second threshold at which the layered mesh is opaque to a view point outside the child-receiving portion and located along an axis passing through the child receiving portion and the layered mesh;
• wherein the layered mesh comprises:
• a first layer of material having a first mesh size,
• a second layer of material having a second mesh size, and
• an intermediate layer of material positioned between the first layer and the second layer and having a third mesh size.

A child support device, comprising:

• a plurality of legs;
• and
• a child receiving portion including an upper frame member coupled to the plurality of legs, a floor spaced from the upper frame member, and a sidewall extending between the floor and upper frame member, the sidewall configured to reduce a brightness of light through the sidewall by at least thirty percent, the sidewall having a heat transfer coefficient greater than a threshold value at which a temperature of the sidewall while receiving an expected heat corresponding to a child in the child receiving portion is no greater than eighty degrees Fahrenheit, wherein the sidewall includes a layered mesh;
• wherein the layered mesh comprises:
• a first layer of material having a first mesh size,
• a second layer of material having a second mesh size, and
• an intermediate layer of material positioned between the first layer and the second layer and having a third mesh size.
