Abstract:
1. A folding play yard including a collapsible play yard frame movable between a retracted stored position and a deployed position, wherein the frame defines a baby receiving portion in the deployed position with a floor and bordering side walls around the periphery of the floor, wherein the frame includes a plurality of corner posts forming at least a portion of a support for the side walls with the play yard in the deployed position, wherein the corner posts are constructed to remain substantially parallel to a vertical axis of the play yard as the play yard moves between the closed and the open position, further including a child sensor coupled to the baby receiving portion and electronically coupled to a microprocessor wherein the child sensor prevents the microprocessor from causing the collapsible play yard frame to move to the retracted position if the child sensor detects a baby in the baby receiving portion.
