Modular Baby Safety System for On-Furniture Deployment

Abstract

The present invention relates generally to products for safeguarding children, and more particularly to modular safety systems, operable to be readily mounted on any conventional flat top surface furniture items, or for deployment on any other substantially flat and stable surface, to secure the child within a predefined controlled area therein, and to provide protection from falling and accidental injuries to infants and toddlers positioned therein, during sleep, rest, interaction, and other activities thereof.

1 . A system for protecting a child, being configured for positioning on one or more predetermined substantially stable surfaces, comprising:
 a substantially planar cover/support component sized and configured to be positioned over a substantially stable surface to cover at least a predetermined portion thereof; and   at least one protective component, comprising a laterally protected region therein sized and configured to be operable to: receive child therein, prevent the child from exiting therefrom, and provide protection from external lateral forces directed substantially toward the child, positioned in at least one predefined region of an upper surface of the cover/support component.   
   
   
       2 . The child protection system of  claim 1 , further comprising at least one releasable attachment element set, operable to enable at least one of said at least one protective component, to be releasably connected to, and selectively removable from, at least one predefined attachment region of said cover/support component.
