Problems solved by technology

For this reason, if the engaging rod 64 is stuck in the upper rod 63, there is a possibility that a caregiver with little strength cannot operate it.

In addition, the operation of these two operating handles 67 is mostly carried out by the caregiver standing in front of the upper fence 60 of the crib, but for the sight line looking down at this time, the two operating handles 67 are blocked under the upper rod 63, so that the baby cannot be seen. Clearly, therefore, it is necessary to grasp the two operating handles 67 by hand, sometimes it cannot be grasped well or cannot be operated

In this occasion, the caregiver needs to bend down to operate the two operating handles 67, which is very inconvenient

In addition, when the caregiver does not put his hands on the upper rod 63 for the purpose of releasing the above-mentioned engagement, he may accidentally touch the two operating handles 67, but at this time the two operating handles 67 also move, so sometimes there is an unintentional Disengagement of the above-mentioned engagement causes the risk of upper fence 60 to move
