ABSTRACT:
A support article for use with a carrier device provides adjustable cushioned support to an infant placed therein in a travel position and comprises an elongated pad adapted to be interposed between the infant and the carrier device and a raised cushion assembly. The elongated pad has a first surface upon which the infant can be placed, an opposite second surface and a pair of longitudinally extending side edges. The raised cushion assembly is disposed on the first surface and includes a pair of transversely spaced apart cushion elements that are adjustable in position relative to one another. At least a first one of these cushion elements is positioned adjacent to a longitudinally extending side edge and is configurable into a folded state wherein a free edge portion thereof is releasably connected to the first surface thereby to define a channel between the cushion elements which is sized to accommodate a torso region of the infant so that the cushion assembly is operative to provide lateral stability to the torso region during transport in the carrier device. The support article may also include a crotch cushion disposed on a lower region of the first surface which helps to maintain the infant in a proper travel position and to buffer the infant against impact during transport in a car seat. This crotch cushion may be in the form of an elongated pad that is bent around a mid-section thereof to form a pair of spaced apart legs.
