ABSTRACT:
A diaper changing restraint system for restraining an infant while changing the infant's diaper. The system provides a four-point restraint system for securing the infant by itself or in conjunction with a diaper-changing table. The system includes a bottom portion, a top portion and a mechanism for fastening the top portion to the bottom portion. The top portion is generally one piece and is in the shape of the front of a tank-top shirt having two shoulder straps and two side portions. The bottom portion includes a stiff stable surface having four cloth-like material portions attached thereto. The four cloth-like material portions are positioned so as to align with the two shoulder straps and the two side portions of the top portion. A fastening mechanism, preferably hook and pile (i.e., VELCRO.RTM.), is provided for attaching the top portion to the bottom portion via the two shoulder straps and the two side portions.
In use, the stiff stable surface of the bottom portion is positioned under the pad of a typical diaper-changing table with the four cloth-like portions extending therefrom. The infant is placed on the pad, and the top portion is then placed over the infant. The two shoulder straps and the two side portions of the top are fastened to the four cloth-like portions of the bottom to comfortably and safely secure the infant on the changing table.
