Abstract

A cradle for an infant is convertible between a seat and a bed. The cradle has a stationary structure and a pivotable structure mounted to the stationary structure for pivotal movement about a transverse axis between a seat position and a bed position. A cover attached to a back portion of an upper section of the stationary structure and to a back portion of the pivotable structure and collapsible when the pivotable structure is pivoted to the seat position provides a barrier against drafts in the bed position of the pivotable structure. A pair of foldable braces and a pair of hooks are provided for securing the pivotable structure releasably in the bed and seat positions respectively. The hooks coact with pins used to mount the braces.
