Title:Redmon Foldable Bassinette

Purpose of the Design: The Redmon foldable bassinet is a redesign of the traditional bassinet. Redmon has been making bassinets for over 100 years. Their design has changed little since 1949. The traditional design requires a labor-intensive assembly process and is bulky when finished. The foldable bassinet is a significant improvement over the traditional design. It reduces assembly costs, since it is made of only four large plastic parts, casters and a fabric liner. It takes considerably less shelf space in the stores, and reduces shipping and packaging costs for the manufacturer. The all cotton liner is attached to the frame with short ties so that they can be easily removed for washing. These ties allow for assembly without tools.
