An adjustment mechanism of nursery equipment includes a string connecting a fixed portion and a movable portion, a reel that is rotatable in both forward and reverse directions and that changes the position or shape of the movable portion by winding up and feeding out the string, a biasing member that biases the reel in such a way that the reel rotates in a winding direction of the string, and a lock member that prohibits rotation of the reel. A biasing force of the biasing member is selected to be smaller than a biasing force with which the movable portion tends to move downward in the vertical direction.
