Co-sleeper

The concept of co-sleeping has been the standard of infant care for timeless generations. The invent and use of crib, and bassinet type devices has been a recent trend. Play yards and playpens for babies and young children are well known and many variations have been marketed over the years. Furniture and fixtures for use by babies and small children often presents a problem for parents with limited living space. For this reason it is desirable that such furniture serve more than one purpose. Low portable cribs have also been used as playpens. For reasons of economy and space conservation it has been practical to find additional uses for playpens, such as bassinets and changing tables if such additional uses can be accomplished by means of easy alterations or adjustments that are reversible. A bedside co-sleeper is very useful for an infant or very young child as it prevents a parent from having to get out of bed to deal with a child requiring minor attention or comforting.
