AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides an infant support wrap that can be easily used to hold infants while seated. The wrap has a pocket on a fabric panel that can hold an infant, making it convenient for users to carry infants while using various seating options. The fabric panel is long enough to comfortably hold infants and adults when resting against the adult's chest. The fabric is attached to a backside with a fastener that can be easily released for quick removal of the infant. The technical effect of this invention is to provide a comfortable and convenient way for users to hold infants while seated.

Problems solved by technology

However, holding an infant for these long periods of time can be tiring and physically burdensome, even while the parent or caregiver is seated, as the infant must still be supported by the adult's arms.
These devices are often configured to assist when traveling with an older child and thus feature secure clasps that can be difficult to disengage quickly.
Furthermore, these devices are not designed for comfort when used in a seated position.
These devices also are not designed to be comfortable to wear for extended periods of time while seated.
Furthermore, as they comprise a single piece of loose material with no fastener component, it can be difficult to properly secure the child therein.

[0012]Referring now to FIGS. 1 and 2, there are shown perspective views of the infant support wrap. The fabric panel 10 comprises a panel having a front side 13 and a back side 15. The length of the fabric panel 10 is longer than its height, such that the fabric panel 10 has a substantially rectangular configuration. In the illustrated embodiment, the height of a central portion of the fabric panel 10 is greater than the height of either a first end 12 or a second end 14 of the fabric panel 10. The greater height in an intermediate section of the fabric panel 10 offers added support to the back of an adult user, making it easier to hold an infant for extended periods of time. Additionally, this...
