The inner surface of the board may be covered with a foamed rubber lining, and then the board is completely covered with PVC or other suitable material.

The front and top portion of the cradle is covered with mosquito net sheets, of which the corner and edge portions are supported with plastic rods. The aforesaid boards are connected one another with zipper and Velcro (RTM) so as to keep the mosquitos and flies out of the cradle. The back board of the cradle is furnished with a bag fixed in position with ziper or Velcro for containing small articles such as milk bottle and diaper.
