Vintage folding suitcase for children Youpla-do 2000 1970s

Retro crush for this folding children's bed, the iconic "Youpla-do 2000" model, an authentic witness to French design and childcare from the 1970s! A true ingenious ancestor of the modern travel cot: the whole unit folds completely to form a rigid thermoformed white suitcase with a quilted relief. Its double tubular metal handle serves as a transport handle when closed, then flips to become the stable base of the bed when opened. It has retained its original fabric full of poetry, illustrated with animals on bicycles in a pure retro spirit (crocodiles, giraffes, rabbits). An irresistible collector's item, ideal for adding a vintage and nostalgic touch to a child's room or contemporary nursery.
