1. A playard comprising: a generally rectangular, horizontally arranged first frame having a pair of spaced-apart generally parallel upper side frame rails and a pair of generally parallel upper end frame rails generally perpendicularly aligned to said upper side frame rails and having an interior length and an interior width; a plurality of retainers disposed at the corners of said first frame; a second frame having first and second spaced-apart and generally parallel elongate side rails, first and second spaced-apart end rails connected to respective opposing ends of said side rails and generally perpendicularly arranged thereto, said second frame having an external width that fits within said first frame and an external length; first and second adjusters intermediately disposed on said first and second side rails, respectively, said first and second adjusters enabling said second frame to be positioned between extended and retracted positions, said external length being less than said interior length when said second frame is in said retracted position and said external length is greater than said interior length when said second frame is in said extended position, said retainers supporting said second frame at a fixed height below said first frame, and at least a portion of said first and second end rails being disposed under said first frame when said second frame is in said extended position whereby uplift of said second frame is inhibited by interaction between said first and second portions with said first frame.
