Abstract
An article of furniture which is convertible to form a crib, a youth bed, or an adult bed. The crib is produced through the interconnection of a rear panel, a right side panel, a left side panel, a front panel and a mattress support frame. This interconnection of parts provides a substantially rectangular configuration having the mattress support frame horizontally disposed therein. The front panel is comprised of at least a lower section and an upper gate section. The upper access gate section permits a greater access to the confines of the crib. The crib is converted to a youth bed through the removal of the upper gate section and the downward vertical displacement of the mattress support frame. The lower section functions as a 'roll bar' purposed to prevent a toddler from rolling off of the edge of a mattress. The roll bar may be eliminated by inverting the lower section. The youth bed is convertible to an adult bed by replacing the mattress support frame and the right and left side panels with independent right and left front upright members, which are respectively attachable to right and left edges of the lower section, and right and left bed rails. The rear panel defines a headboard and the lower section defines a footboard of the adult bed. An optional extension is attachable to the headboard to provide a headboard which is more aesthetically appealing to its user.

Important Notes on Latency of Status data
Please note there is up to 60 days of latency in this Status indicator for certain status conditions. You can obtain up-to-date Status indicator readings by ordering PAIR for the file.
An application with the status "Published" (which means it is pending) may be recently abandoned, but not yet updated to reflect its abandoned status. However, an application filed less than one year ago is unlikely to be abandoned.
A patent with the status "Granted" may be recently expired, but not yet updated to reflect its expired status. However, it is highly unlikely a patent less than 3.5 years old would be expired.
An application with the status "Abandoned" is almost always current, but there is a small chance it was recently revived and the status not yet updated.
Important Note on Priority Date data
This priority date is an estimated earliest priority date and is purely an estimation. This date should not be taken as legal conclusion. No representations are made as to the accuracy of the date listed. Please consult a legal professional before relying on this date.
