A portable bassinet (10) made of cardboard which has outer, canopy-housing (12) and an inner box or bassinet-proper (14) for selected insertions into the outer box. One of the four sidewalls of the inner box (14) is connected to the rest of the inner box (14) only along its lower horizontal edge surface, with the rest of this sidewall being free, in order to provide a pivotal safety wall (38). The safety wall is pivoted to a downward position when the inner box is used as a bassinet, with an infant placed therein, whereby the inner box is prevented from being fully inserted into the outer main box or canopy-housing, in order to prevent accidental suffocation. Handles (58, 70) are provided for aiding in the carrying of the assembly. A first handle (58) is provided on a sidewall surface of the inner box which cooperates with a cutout or opening (50) in the corresponding sidewall of the outer box. This first handle (58) is removably secured to the inner box by a pair of slots or grooves (54, 56) formed in the sidewall surface thereof, with the ends (60, 62) of the handles being inserted therein. |
