Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to childcare products, and, more particularly, to an improved system for providing support for a baby while it is being held or carried.
- the person receiving the baby may not be accustomed to holding young children and is often uncomfortable in doing so since they are not sure if they are providing adequate support. While support for a baby may be provided in a baby seat, these devices are not always useful for carrying the baby. Also, although baby carriers may provide support for a baby, they do not allow for the close intimate contact that holding a baby in one's arms provides.
- a parent may be carrying a baby and must release the baby for some reason, this action may be disconcerting for the parent and uncomfortable for the baby.
- a baby may be placed for a brief period on a flat surface. When the baby is laid on a flat surface, there is no support provided under portions of the baby's head or back, which can lead to discomfort for the baby. This discomfort is troubling to the parent.
- placing the baby on a flat, hard, surface exposes the baby to bumps and bruises when being laid down, or when wiggling about without significant padding between the baby and the surface.
- a baby support system which will provide adequate support to protect the baby and make it comfortable while it is being held and carried by a person.
- the support should also allow intimate contact between the baby and the person holding it.
- such a support system should provide support and comfort for a baby while it is resting or being laid upon a hard surface, or maintaining a supine position while sleeping.
- the present invention is directed to providing improved support for a baby, and particularly the baby's head, neck and upper back, while it is being held and carried.
- the invention also provides support and comfort if the baby must be momentarily laid down on a hard surface. Additionally, promotion of supine positions during sleep is provided.
- the present invention provides a baby support comprising a wrap member sized to substantially encapsulate the baby.
- the wrap member comprises a means for receiving a support pad and positioning the support pad so as to support at least the head, neck and upper back of the baby.
- the wrap member further comprises a security means for securing the baby to the wrap member.
- the security means comprises at least one security panel attached to the wrap member which releasably secures the baby in a preselected position on the wrap member.
- the baby support system includes two support features for supporting a baby.
- the first support feature wraps about and at least partially encapsulates the baby and thereby secures the baby adjacent to a second support feature.
- the second support feature provides additional support for the baby's head and back by conforming to portions of the baby's body.
- the first support feature after being wrapped around the baby, may be temporarily secured in place.
- the baby support system may be adapted for babies of various sizes. This allows the support system to be used continuously as the baby grows.
- the support system is adapted for use with babies of different sizes by changing the size of the support pad, which is positioned adjacent to the baby.

- the wrap member comprises a means for receiving a support pad and positioning the support pad so as to support at least the head, neck and upper back of the baby.
- the wrap member further comprises a security means for securing the baby to the wrap member.
- the security means comprises at least one security panel attached to the wrap member which releasably secures the baby in a preselected position on the wrap member.
- a baby support system which incorporates the spirit of the invention, may embody many alternative configurations, and may include many optional components including components currently used in other applications.
- a specific example of one embodiment of the invention is described in conjunction with Figure 1.
- a baby support system as shown in Figure 1, comprises a wrap member for encapsulating the baby 100, and includes a means for receiving a support pad 102.
- the wrap member may conveniently be made from a piece of fabric, or other flexible member.
- the term 'fabric' is taken in its functional sense to mean a material that is flexible and capable of being shaped around an object without losing its flexibility and resilience. The term does not imply any particular composition or means of manufacture, such as a textile.
- the term 'support pad' is also taken in a functional sense to mean a material that is flexible and capable of being shaped around an object, though to a lesser extent than a fabric. The term 'support pad' also does not imply any particular composition or means of manufacture.
- the support pad 102 is removably positioned adjacent to the piece of fabric. In another embodiment the support pad 102 need not be removable. During use, the support pad 102 will be positioned under the baby in such a way as to support the baby's head and back. While the piece of fabric 100 in this embodiment is rectangular, other shapes can be used such as, for example, triangular, circular, oval, or an irregular shape. Although the term fabric is used, the invention contemplates any type of material, which can provide for securing the support pad 102 adjacent to a baby. Additionally, the fabric may be made of waterproof or water resistant material.
- the support pad 102 is illustrated as definining a generally oval shape, other shapes can be used such as, for example, rectangular, circular, or an irregular shape. Moreover, it is contemplated that the support pad may be fabricated from many different materials, composed of multiple types of materials;, or be in multiple pieces and still remain within the spirit of the present invention. Additionally, although this embodiment shows the support pad 102 on the side of the fabric 100 which comes into contact with the baby, it will be appreciated that the support pad 102 can also be positioned on the opposite side of the fabric.
- a supplemental security feature is provided, an embodiment of which is depicted in Figure 1 as a pair of panels 108, 110 each secured at one end to the support fabric 100 in a region proximate to the location of the support pad 102. These panels 108, 110 will be sized so as to be able to overlay the baby when the baby is located on the support pad.
- the security feature can consist of a single panel which can be releasably fastened about the baby, or can comprise a plurality of panels to provide a security feature as well.
- the panels 108, 110 will desirably also include a means for retaining the panels in position around the baby once the baby is positioned on the support pad 102.
- a retaining means comprises at least one retaining region 112, 114 positioned on the appropriate side of each panel 108; 110 so that the retaining regions 112, 114 can be joined as the panels are laid across the baby.
- retaining regions 112, 114 can comprise a complementary pair of patches consisting of one patch of small hooks that adheres to a corresponding patch of small loops, and wherein at lease one patch 112 is connected to panel 108 and at least one complementary patch 114 is connected to the remaining panel 110, and whereby the retaining panels are joined by engaging at least one patch 112 on panel 108 to at least one complementary patch 114 on panel 110.
- One readily available material for providing such retaining means is the complementary materials which comprise Velcro®, a material well known in the art.
- Such retaining means include complementary pairs of zipper strips, wherein at least one zipper strip is connected to panel 108 and at least one complementary zipper strip is connected to panel 110, or complementary pairs of snaps, wherein at least one complementary part of a snap pair is connected to panel 108 and at least one opposing complementary part of a snap pair is connected to panel 110.
- Figure 2 illustrates a baby 104 positioned in a desired location on the baby support system.
- This illustration shows that the baby 104 is positioned on top of the support pad 102.
- the portion of the support pad 102 located near the baby's shoulders is wider than the width of the baby's shoulders as indicated by ⁇ . Additionally the support pad 102 is longer than the baby's head and trunk as indicated by ⁇ .
- the baby weight causes the support pad 102 to conform to the adjacent contour of the baby's body, thereby providing support for those adjacent portions of the baby 104.
- the support pad 102 provides support under the baby's head and back.
- panels 108, 110 may be overlaid on the baby 104 and secured about the baby using the retaining means 112, 114. In this manner, the baby 104 can be "swaddled" against support pad 102 thus increasing the baby's sense of comfort and security, as well as providing retention of the baby 104 in the present support system.
- the fabric 100 is wrapped about the baby 104.
- the support pad 102 is sized in relation to the baby 104 so that the support pad 102, being wider than the width of the baby, will extend upwardly along the sides of the baby 104 when the fabric 100 is wrapped about the baby 104. With the support pad 102 extending along the sides of the baby 104, the baby is more easily retained in its relative position with respect to the support pad 102.
- first attachment member 103 which may be used for positively maintaining the fabric 100 in its wrapped position.
- the first attachment member 103 can be located, in one embodiment, on the edge of the fabric 100.
- the first attachment member 103 may engage with a second attachment member not shown, which is located on the opposite side of the fabric so as to removably attach different portions of the fabric 100 and thus hold the fabric in a desired configuration. For example, when the fabric 100 is wrapped about the baby 104 the first attachment member 103 may engage the second attachment member, not shown, securing the fabric 100 in a wrapped position.
- the support pad 102 extends upwardly along the side of the baby 104, if the fabric 100 is secured around the baby 104 then the baby 104 will remain in approximately the same relative position in the support system while being held, carried, transferred between two people, or laid on a surface.
- Figure 3 shows a perspective view of a baby 104 on the support pad 102 of the baby support system.
- the support pad 102 When the baby 104 is laid on the support pad 102, the support pad 102 at least partially conforms to the contour of the baby's body due to the weight of the baby 104.
- the support pad 102 provides support under the babies head 105, and the baby's back 106. This supporting function alleviates the concern of the person holding the baby 104 as to whether they are providing adequate support for the baby 104.
- the baby 104 can be held or carried with the support system providing adequate support at all times and the person holding the baby 104 can feel more confident and relaxed about whether they are holding the baby 104 correctly.
- the support pad 102 is made from a resilient, memory- foam material, such as Tempur-Pedic foam, manufactured by Tempur-Pedic Inc., it will return to its original shape when the baby 104 is removed.
- This resilient feature of the support pad will allow the pad to conform to the contour of the baby's body each time the baby 104 is placed on the support pad 102.
- the support system will be able to provide support even though the baby 104 is placed on the support pad 102 in a slightly different location.
- a resilient pad allows for continued use as the baby 104 grows larger, until the pad is no longer sufficient in size and can be replaced with another larger pad.
- Figure 4 illustrates the baby support system as it appears when wrapped about the baby 104.
- the fabric 100 When the fabric 100 is wrapped about the baby 104, it applies force to the support pad 102, which causes the support pad 102 to wrap around at least a portion of the sides of the baby's body and head. As the support pad 102 wraps around the sides of the body of the baby 104, the pad provides support to keep the baby 104 on the pad. Therefore, as the fabric 100 is wrapped about the baby 104 the support pad 102 remains in proximity to the body of the baby 104.
- the support pad 102 may be made of a resilient, memory- foam, material so that it will recover its original form when the support system is unwrapped and the baby 104 is removed.
- the fabric is wrapped about a baby with no securing means.
- the first attachment member, 103 in Figure 2 may be used for securing the fabric 100 in place by mating with a second attachment member, not shown, located on the opposite side of the fabric.
- the first attachment member 103 and the second attachment member when mated, maintain the fabric 100 in a desired position about the baby 104.
- the support pad 102 extends at least partially up the sides of the baby 104 providing support to the baby 104 both when the baby 104 is being held and when the baby 104 is placed on a surface.
- securing the baby in the support system ensures that the baby maintains a supine position during sleep.
- This is advantageous, given the recommendation of the American Academy of Pediatrics "that healthy infants, when being put down for sleep, be positioned on their side or back. (See, Positioning and SIDES, in PEDIATRICS, Vol. 89, No. 6, 1120, June 1992. The Academy has subsequently reaffirmed its recommendation stating "[W]e strongly endorse the practice of placing healthy infants on their sides or backs when putting them down to sleep.” (See, Infant Sleep Position and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) in the United States: Joint Commentary from the American Academy of Pediatrics and Selected Agencies of the Federal Government, PEDIATRICS, Vol. 93, No. 5, 820, May 1994).
