ABSTRACT:
A cover for a child's pacifier includes a top wall and walls depending therefrom which defines an enclosure for the pacifier and terminate in a common bottom edge. The bottom edge defines an opening to the enclosure allowing insertion of the pacifier and is contoured to fit closely around the periphery of the pacifier shield. At least one retaining flange is separated by spaced slots from the remainder of the depending walls and resiliently flexes outwardly to receive and retain one of variously sized pacifier shields. The flange includes a rounded detent which cams the flange outwardly for snap-in insertion of the shield. The detent holds the shield against supporting stops on the cover interior.
