Method for limiting the movement of an infant in a particular direction

Abstract

A method for limiting the movement of a toddler which comprises the placement of a barrier upon flooring. The barrier comprises a plurality of studs having upward extending sections. The barrier can be stepped over by adults while preventing further movement in that direction by the toddler.

1 . A method for preventing movement of an infant in a particular direction by creating a barrier on a floor comprising the steps of: 
 providing a plurality of low-profile upward extending sections, each upward extending section having a top surface design that is incapable of puncturing the skin of an infant; and,    attaching each of said plurality of upward extending sections across a portion of the floor to create a barrier to prevent further movement of the infant in a direction across the barrier.    
   
   
       2 . A method for preventing movement of an infant in a particular direction by creating a barrier on a floor comprising the steps of: 
 providing a plurality of low-profile upward extending sections, each upward extending section having a top surface design that is incapable of puncturing the skin of an infant, said plurality of low-profile upward extending sections extend upward from the top surface of a sheeting material; and,    appropriately sizing the length and depth of the sheeting material to substantially conform to the portion of the floor intended to be placed upon;    positioning said sheeting material across a portion of the floor to create a barrier to prevent further movement of the infant in a particular direction.    
   
   
       3 . The method of  claim 2  where said sheeting is adhesively attached to the flooring.  
   
   
       4 . The method of  claim 2  where said sheeting is attached to the flooring using Velcro®.  
   
   
       5 . A method for preventing movement of an infant in a particular direction by creating a barrier on a floor comprising the steps of: 
 providing a sheeting material, said sheeting material having a plurality of upward extending low profile sections, each low profile section having a top surface design that is incapable of puncturing the skin of an infant;    appropriately sizing the sheeting material; and,    positioning the sheeting material in a desired location upon a floor to create a barrier to prevent movement of an infant in a direction across the barrier.
