ABSTRACT:
A head and neck protector including a flexible resilient back member sized to cover the back, shoulders and head of a child having a substantially smooth child contacting surface and constructed from a flexible mesh member surrounded by resilient foam and covered with a fabric covering; an adjustable torso strap assembly secured to the resilient back member; first and second adjustable shoulder straps; a removable sloped cushion member; and a cushion retaining strap forming a cushion retaining loop into which the sloped cushion member is inserted and held. In use, the back of a child is placed against the child contact surface and the straps secured about the child. The resilient flexible back support prevents rapid jerky movements that can cause back and neck injuries. In addition, the back support member and the sloped cushion member provide cushioning for the neck and head should the child fall backwards while attempting to sit or walk.
