Portable child's bed

A portable child's bed is a bassinet hangably suspended from a pair of frame members. The bassinet includes a pair of opposing sidewalls that have a seam which allows for the sidewalls to inwardly pivot and then fold so as to allow for the compaction of the bassinet unit. The bassinet also includes a plurality of storage pockets capable of holding such infant-care related items such as diapers, powder, ointments, small blankets, towelettes, formula, feeding bottles and many other related items. The bassinet may also include a canopy for shielding the infant's head while resting or sleeping. The frame members include a telescoping strut which extendably expands or contracts within a strut housing. The telescoping strut and strut housing are in fluid communication and connected by a rotatable joint having an anterior and posterior sleeve to accommodate the pair of frames. The anterior sleeve is rotatable through 180°, thereby providing the pair of frames the ability to fully expand and position the telescoping struts in such a way so as to provide support to the bassinet. The anterior sleeve also allows for the frames to be compacted so as to reconfigure the portable child's bed into a lightweight and convenient travel bag.
