Child sleeping assembly with inclinable sleeping surface

Abstract

A child sleeping assembly includes a floorboard, an adjustable panel movably connected to the floorboard to move between a reclined position and an inclined position, a frame mounted to the floorboard, and a fabric enclosure mounted to the floorboard and the frame. The fabric enclosure has a sidewall and floor that defines an enclosed child sleeping area. The sidewall encircles the child sleeping area. The child sleeping assembly also can include an adjustment element connected to the floorboard and configured to travel in an adjustment track of the panel to control positioning of the panel between the reclined position and the inclined position.
