A play yard and bassinet assembly combination comprising:

• a play yard comprising:
• upper horizontal frame members;
• a fabric material disposed over said upper horizontal frame members to form substantially vertical side walls, wherein each of said substantially vertical side walls has an upper perimeter, and said upper perimeters of said vertical walls define an upper opening through which a child may be moved in or out of the play yard;
• and a first row of teeth for engaging one or more zippers wherein said one or more zippers are included in a first set of zippers and said first row of teeth are disposed on said fabric material below said upper perimeter of said vertical side walls along a substantially horizontal path;
• and
• a bassinet assembly comprising:
• a floor, wherein said floor comprises an inclinable flap, said inclinable flap comprises a third row of teeth for engaging one or more zippers included in a second set of zippers, said third row of teeth being disposed along a perimeter of said inclinable flap;
• one or more side walls that extend upwardly from a perimeter of said floor and surround said floor, wherein said one or more side walls of said bassinet assembly have an upper perimeter, and a second row of teeth for engaging said one or more zippers is disposed adjacent at least a portion of said upper perimeter of said side walls of said bassinet assembly;
• and a fourth row of teeth for engaging said one or more zippers in said second set of zippers, said fourth row of teeth being disposed on at least a portion of said one or more side walls of said bassinet assembly between said upper perimeter of said one or more side walls of said bassinet assembly and said floor of said bassinet assembly, wherein a first portion and a second portion of said fourth row of teeth are disposed along an inclined path at an angle greater than 0° to said floor and a third portion of said fourth row of teeth are disposed along a path that is substantially parallel to said floor, the third portion being intermediate said first and second portions;
• wherein said one or more zippers in said first set of zippers are engageable with said first row of teeth and said second row of teeth to removably secure said bassinet assembly adjacent said upper opening of said play yard;
• and said one or more zippers in said second set of zippers are engageable with said third row of teeth and said fourth row of teeth to secure said inclinable flap at said angle of said inclined path and said one or more zippers in said second set of zippers are disengageable with said third row of teeth and said fourth row of teeth to allow said inclinable flap to lay substantially flat against said floor.

A play yard and bassinet assembly combination comprising:

• a play yard comprising:
• upper horizontal frame members;
• a fabric material disposed over said upper horizontal frame members to form substantially vertical side walls, wherein each of said substantially vertical side walls has an upper perimeter, and said upper perimeters of said vertical walls define an upper opening through which a child may be moved in or out of the play yard;
• and
• a first row of teeth for engaging one or more zippers, wherein said one or more zippers are included in a first set of zippers and said first row of teeth are disposed on said fabric material below said upper perimeter of said vertical side walls along a substantially horizontal path;
• and
• a bassinet assembly comprising:
• a floor, wherein said floor comprises an inclinable flap, said inclinable flap comprising a third row of teeth for engaging one or more zippers included in a second set of zippers, said third row of teeth being disposed along at least a first edge of said inclinable flap, said inclinable flap being disposed adjacent said floor along a second edge of said inclinable flap, said first edge being spaced apart from said second edge;
• and
• one or more side walls that extend upwardly from a perimeter of said floor and surround said floor, wherein said one or more side walls of said bassinet assembly have an upper perimeter and a lower perimeter, said lower perimeter being adjacent said floor;
• a second row of teeth for engaging said one or more zippers in said first set of zippers, said second row of teeth being disposed adjacent at least a portion of said upper perimeter of said side walls of said bassinet assembly;
• and
• a fourth row of teeth for engaging one or more zippers included in said second set of zippers, said fourth row of teeth being disposed on at least a portion of a first side wall between said upper perimeter and said lower perimeter of said first side wall, wherein said fourth row of teeth are disposed along a path that is substantially parallel to said floor and spaced above said floor, and said first side wall is spaced apart from said second edge of said inclinable flap;
• wherein:
