AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0001]The Tend-A-Tot is a sophisticated 6-in-1 baby-care item with a sense of style and functionality. It combines six (6) major components of caring for an infant / child into one elegant and practical tote that “does it all”! The Tend-A-Tot is made from 2½ yards of a machine-washable, printed fabric, lined with 2½ yards of a machine-washable, plain, quilted fabric. This product, created by me, is unique in that it provides a child caretaker with one product to: (1) use as a diaper bag, tote bag and travel bag for baby, (2) comfortably carry the child, leaving hands free, (3) use on most restaurant and private-home dining chairs in place of a high chair, booster or other child seat, (4) use over an umbrella stroller for added comfort, security, storage and easy airline travel, (5) place in a shopping cart seat for child's comfort, added security and convenience with everything right at hand, and (6) provide the necessary space for the caretaker's necessities, as well.BENEFITS OF THE INVENTION
[0002]1) It can save money. The most utilitarian product for a child caretaker is a diaper bag. However, the Tend-A-Tot is a six-in-one product, not simply a diaper bag. This, in itself, is a money-saver, merely by eliminating the need to purchase a high chair, an expensive stroller / carriage, a baby carrier, a shopping cart protector and various other child-care products, each of which merely has a single function.

Problems solved by technology

However, this does not provide the safety measure needed, unless the zipper is secured and / or hidden so as not to allow tampering by the child while in use.9) Semi-attached Pillow serves the purpose of accommodating the size of the child and allows for conformity to the type of surface (seat, chair, etc.) on which the product is placed.

Embodiment Construction

[0013]The Tend-A-Tot is constructed, first, by lining each printed material piece, sewing (wrong sides together) and reversing out to expose a finished edge. The 16 pattern pieces are listed below, following these assembly instructions.

Note: The main body, (Pattern Piece #1) and the Tie Extensions, (Pattern Piece #3), are joined independently first, then sewn together (printed fabric to the quilted fabric lining). On this Main Body (Pattern Piece #1) are sewn the Toy / Rattle Pocket (Pattern Piece #8), the Diaper Pad Pocket (Pattern Piece #10) and the Semi-Attached Pillow (Pattern Piece #12). Self Ties (for which there is no pattern piece) are attached strategically to the Toy / Rattle Pocket (Pattern Piece #8) for attaching toys, rattles, pacifier, etc.

[0014]The Diaper Bag Attachment, which creates the opening to place the Tend-A-Tot on chairs, high chairs and the umbrella stroller, is assembled by placing the four pockets, (Pattern Pieces # 4, 5, 6 [the flap], 7 and 9) on the Diaper / A...
