Abstract
A bassinet is foldable between a stowed position and a deployed position. The bassinet includes a casing which is wall-mountable. The bassinet includes flanges and panels which are coupled to the casing. The panels are flush with the flanges in the stowed position. The panels define the sides and base of the bassinet in the deployed position.
