Infant bed

An infant bed is a small bed especially for infants and very young children. Infant beds are a historically recent development intended to contain a child capable of standing. The cage-like design of infant beds restricts the child to the bed.

Between one and two years of age, children can climb out and are moved to a toddler bed to prevent an injurious fall while escaping the bed.
