Abstract

See full text

A reconfigurable support for an infant includes a main body and two reconfigurable restraints or support members mounted to opposite ends of the main body. The infant support can be used to securely position an infant that is either lying prone on a flat surface or that is seated in a child's seat, such as a car seat. The first configurable support member is formed as a cylindrical cushion and contains a bendable element that can be configured into a variety of shapes. The first support member retains the shape into which it is configured and thus can be configured and positioned to securely position an infant. A second reconfigurable support member is provided at the opposite end of the main body. The second member is integrally formed with the main body and includes two or three planar members. The planar members are reconfigurable such that they can either be configured to form a wedge shape projecting above the upper surface of the main body to support a lying infant or to lie coplanar within the main body so that the main body may be used as a seat lining.
