Baby feeding system

Abstract

A rechargeable, portable and convenient carrying, heating and feeding system for heating baby food while away from the home comprises a first housing member capable of holding a first food container, such as a baby bottle, an energy source positioned adjacent the bottom portion of the first housing member, and a second housing member, capable of holding a second food container, such as a baby food jar, having a top surface positioned adjacent the energy source. A power switch having an “on” and “off” position is provided on the device such that upon activation of the power switch to the “on” position causes the energy source to heat food contained within the at least one of the first and second food containers positioned within at least one of the first and second housing members to a predetermined feeding temperature. The heating and feeding system can be used at any location without the need of an external energy source.

Description

[0001] FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] The present invention relates, in general, to a feeding system for a baby, and more particularly to a rechargeable, portable and convenient carrying and heating system for baby bottles and baby food containers. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] With today's fast paced lifestyle and dual income families, parent with infants and toddlers are often on the go with their babies in tow. The days of staying home with the baby during regular naptimes and feeding times are over. Since parents are often out of the home with their babies during feeding time, the amenities necessary for preparing the baby's bottle or baby food are not readily available. When the baby is ready to eat, parents are often forced to seek out means for warming the baby's bottle and / or food. This can be a difficult task if the parents are in a shopping mall, at a sporting event, picnic, or any other location in which a power source and / or heating device is not available. [0004] U....

Problems solved by technology

Since parents are often out of the home with their babies during feeding time, the amenities necessary for preparing the baby's bottle or baby food are not readily available.

This can be a difficult task if the parents are in a shopping mall, at a sporting event, picnic, or any other location in which a power source and / or heating device is not available.

A disadvantage of this apparatus is that one must be near a power source to plug in the device to heat the bottle.

Another disadvantage of this device is that it is only capable of heating a single baby bottle at a time and is not able to heat baby food jars.

This device also cannot be used as a carrying device for the food containers.

None of these devices allow for the carrying of and the simultaneous heating of a second baby food container.

U.S. Pat. No. 6,703,590 is even limited to a particular type of bottle, i.e. bottles which use a disposable liner.
