Abstract:
1. A play yard comprising: a frame structure defining an upper boundary member, a bottom member and sides extending between said upper boundary member and said bottom member; a changing table having a table frame member and being mounted on said frame structure for vertical movement relative thereto between an uppermost operative position and a lowermost operative position; and a guard member mounted in a fixed position on one of said upper boundary member and said table frame member and having a vertical length terminating in a distal edge spaced from the member on which said guard member is mounted to permit said guard member to block a gap between said table frame member and said upper boundary member even when said changing table is in said uppermost operative position, said guard member being vertically movable with the member on which said guard member is mounted so as to be operable to block said gap such that the guard member can be positioned with said distal edge being positioned between the member to which the guard member is mounted and the member to which the guard member is not mounted at a distance less than a distance required to allow a child's head to be positioned between said upper boundary member and said table frame member even when said changing table is in said uppermost operative position.
