• (a) a first horizontal panel means for supporting a crib mattress or the like;
• (b) a vertical wall means for partially encircling said first horizontal panel means, and attachable to said first horizontal panel means;
• and
• (c) a second horizontal panel means for supporting said first horizontal panel means, wherein said second horizontal panel means is adapted to attach to said first horizontal means, said horizontal panel means being attached in an extended condition, and said second horizontal panel means positionable under the mattress, whereby said second horizontal panel means supports said first horizontal panel means and said vertical wall means in said extended condition adjacent the bed, and
• wherein said first horizontal panel means is attached to said second horizontal panel means by way of a hinge, thereby allowing said first horizontal panel means to rotate relative to said second horizontal panel means, and allowing said first and second horizontal panel means to be folded over onto each other for compactness, and
• wherein said hinge is interrupted, and further comprising at least one horizontal support means attachable between said first and second horizontal panel means, wherein said horizontal support means is attachable to each of said first and second horizontal panel means and having an axis of symmetry substantially perpendicular to an access of symmetry of said hinge, and wherein said horizontal support means and said hinge generally lie in the same horizontal plane.
