ABSTRACT:
An infant support cushion provides a safe support for an infant which is beginning to develop muscular strength and motor coordination, particularly in the cervical muscles. An infant using the present cushion is protected in the event the infant lifts his/her head and drops the head uncontrollably to the underlying surface. The cushion comprises a generally rectangular resilient cushion portion of foam or other suitable material, having a generally central depression extending across the majority of the cushion. The depression is adapted to accept the torso of an infant placed therein, in either a prone or supine position, with the thicker cushion material extending across the closed end of the depression serving to cushion the head of an infant if the infant drops his/her head. The cushion may include storage space therein, as well as a removable and washable cover, a restraint for the infant, and a removable and washable drool bib which may be secured beneath the infant's head. A removable, washable blanket for the legs and lower torso of the infant and a removable and washable changing pad may also be provided with the cushion, with the blanket and changing pad being securable to the underside of the cushion for storage. The present cushion not only provides a safe environment from which an infant beginning to develop motor skills may observe the environment, but also provides a safe and comfortable place for the infant to sleep.
