The furniture item consists of a lightweight portable playpen or play yard designed for use by infants or small children. The product referred to as the Graco Pack N Play has a metal frame to which the textile side and end panels are attached.

Included with the Pack N Play is a manmade fiber sheet sized to fit over the removable padded floor board and a textile mosquito netting sized to fit over the play yard. A photograph accompanied your letter. The Pack N Play features a bassinet insert frame which can be used to convert the article into a portable bassinet. The insert is covered with a soft textile covering and has a sleeping pad. The - 2 - bassinet attachment is designed to be suspended from the top of the Pack "N Play frame, creating a sleeping environment for the infant which is suspended approximately 18 inches above the playpen floor board.
