The Baby Sitter Infant Support Cushion

Abstract

This invention is an infant and child round support cushion comprised of natural or synthetic firm filler material ranging in size between 22″ to 36″ in diameter, with a preferred diameter of 24″, with a center cut-out well ranging in size between 11″ to 18″ in diameter, with a preferred diameter of 12″, 2′ to 7″ in height, with a preferred height of 5″, with three 1.5″ cushion inserts for the center well designed to provide a surface for laying, to help the child learn to sit up unsupported at rest or play, and to learn how to support self on knees while learning to crawl. This invention offers the new concept of offering a firmer more durable cushion that supports children on all surrounding sides ranging in height between 2″ to 7″ high, comprising sides with flat edges that do not allow the child to fall over and that teach the child how to support self in a seated position and a crawling position by providing a firm resistance against which feet can brace, in a compact aesthetic circle-design making the most use of material and space.
