Baby Leg Holder for Diaper Changing

Abstract

A device for changing the diaper of a baby comprising an adjustable strip of fabric, each end of which is equipped with a slip-knot or a loop. When the baby needs to be changed, each loop is slipped over each baby's feet. The middle of the strip is then wrapped over the neck of the nanny or parent. By straightening up and raising his or her neck, the nanny or parent automatically lifts and restrains the baby's feet allowing the baby to be changed without any mishaps. At the end of the process the strip is removed from the nanny or parent's neck and the loops are slipped out from the baby's feet. The length of the strip can be adjusted by buttons and eyelets, by hooks and loops fastener or by tying a knot in the middle of the strip.
