Abstract

An infant crib is provided that includes at least one stationary sidewall and a positionable sidewall that is selectively moveable relative to the stationary sidewall between a fully closed position and a fully open position. When the positionable sidewall is in the fully open position a side access opening providing access to an enclosure defined within the infant crib is provided. The positionable sidewall includes a cover that extends over the moveable sidewall. The crib also includes a retaining mechanism assembly including a channel defined therein. At least a portion of the positionable sidewall is sized and shaped to be received within the channel when the moveable sidewall is in the fully closed position. The positionable sidewall is removeable from the retaining mechanism assembly and is selectively moveable by a user using only one hand.
