Crib

Abstract

A crib having a mesh sleeping surface, front and back sections, and a pair of end sections. In order to facilitate breathing of an infant when placed in the crib, the interior of the crib is formed of a breathable mesh material through which air can pass. The front section, positioned along a front side of the sleeping surface, has at least a portion of its interior surface formed of mesh. The front section can be either a “high/tall” front side, or a “low” front side, depending on the desired use of the crib. The back section, positioned along a back side of the sleeping surface, has at least a portion of an interior surface formed of mesh; and the pair of end sections, each positioned along an end of the sleeping surface, have a portion of an interior surface formed of mesh. The crib is configurable into four different configurations: a crib with the sleeping surface in a high position above the ground, with a tall front side; a youth couch with the sleeping surface in a high position above the ground, with a low front side; a crib or playpen with the sleeping surface in a low position proximate the ground, with a tall front side; and with the sleeping surface in a low position proximate the ground, and with a low front side, a fourth configuration is formed.
