Abstract
A playyard system with a handle and wheels comprising a floor separable from a playyard and formed of a plurality of similarly shaped rigid rectangular segments. The floor is adapted to be placed around a collapsed playyard to form a generally rectilinear configuration with an upper end and a lower end. A handle is secured to one of the segments of the floor adjacent to the upper end. The handle includes a gripping portion at the upper extent and a generally rigid intermediate wire formed with parallel vertical extents and an enlarged lower extent. The handle also has associated therewith apertured brackets secured to the floor for allowing for the sliding of the wire within the brackets to lower the handle toward the floor when in the stowed orientation and to raise the handle from the floor when in the elevated orientation for transportation.
