Modified Crib

Challenge:

Michelle was expecting her first child, and being the primary caregiver, required a crib which she could properly access with a wheelchair to ensure that the child had a safe environment for sleeping.

Solution:

An existing crib was set on top of a table which provided the proper height for Michelle to care for her child as well as a change area. In order to handle her child the side rail at the front of the table was made into a sliding door which opened half of the crib's length for access. For the safety of the child, three types of locks were incorporated in the new sliding door to ensure the child would be safe in the crib during the night.
