The fabric curtain can be made from mesh, allowing a child to breathe while sleeping on the padded area. The suitcase also has a removable fabric bag for packing items separately from the child's sleeping area, protecting both from soiling. The technical effects are improved protection and comfort for the child and clean and safe packing for the items.

Description

[0001]The present invention relates to an improved suitcase.BACKGROUND TO THE INVENTION[0002]When travelling with a small child, it is often necessary to take a travel cot for the child to sleep in. A conventional travel cot is typically a heavy bulky item, comprised of a metal frame with plastics connectors supporting a fabric inner. A covered board or the like may form the base of the cot, which is placed over the fabric inner and rests on a central metal support leg. Cots of this nature are effective, but even when collapsed, they take up a large amount of travel space, for example, in a vehicle or aircraft. Also, they are heavy to carry, typically around 10 kg. When travelling with a child, pushchair, clothing, change bag, food and drink, the additional burden of carrying a travel cot can be a considerable inconvenience and may also be costly, for example, if flying.[0003]This problem has been addressed to some extent in, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,212,841, in which a combinat...
