Abstract
In a foldable playyard an improved floor assembly avoids the accidental folding of the playyard with the child in the playyard. A fabric floor assembly comprising three separate panels, two of which are fully secured peripherally to the frame assembly for a sturdier bottom/floor is disclosed. Also the two bottom layers are purposely separated from each other so as to create an air-gap therebetween to serve as a natural "shock-absorber" for a child jumping up and down in the playyard. One layer of the double layer fabric floor assembly is connected to all the vertical panels and the second layer is attached to the lower horizontal supports.
