Infant care apparatus with fixed overhead heater

摘要

An infant care apparatus having a canopy (12) movable with respect to an infant support (14) for supporting an infant, the canopy being movable between a lower position enclosing the infant in an infant compartment and an upper position opening the infant compartment. The canopy has an opening (36) and a door (38) that can be closed to block the opening and opened to unblock the opening. A radiant heater (34) is located in a fixed position above the infant support to direct infrared energy toward the infant support. When the canopy is in its lower position, a convective heating system warms the infant compartment. The door (38) either closes as the canopy moves to its lower position or opens as the canopy moves to its upper position.
