Infant support device

Abstract

An infant support includes a flexible surface which has a first portion and a second portion. The first portion has a pair of openings thru which an infants' legs are inserted. The second portion has a smaller pair of openings. A first connector is attached to the first portion adjacent to the first pair of openings and extending in the longitudinal direction. A second connector is attached to the flexible surface and extending in the transverse direction. An elongated strap can be selectively attached to the first connector and the second connector. When the strap is connected to the first connector, two positions result. A first position is one in which the strap extends through the second pair of openings. A second position is one in which the strap extends over a support structure. When the strap is connected to the second connector, the strap is located only in the second position.
