Hello,
What's the difference between a playpen and a crib? I search for images on the internet and sometimes find the same sort of structure for both words.
Thank you,
Nawee |

| Baby furniture does seem to have a variety of names. As I understand it, a playpen is a lightweight, movable enclosure of about a metre and a half square, inside which a baby can safely play on the floor. A crib is a word used in America for a cradle or bed for a baby. Here in Australia we call it a bassinet. |
