Infant transport support device

Abstract

An infant transport support device is provided, including a first side; a second side; a top side; a bottom side; a first end; and a second end; and at least one protrusion extending from said top side for supporting a neck of an infant during transport. The top side and bottom side extend from the second end at a 16-30 degree angle, for safely transporting an infant by reducing noise, vibration and/or movement.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An infant transport support device, comprising:
 a first side;   a second side;   a top side;   a bottom side;   a first end; and   a second end; and   at least one protrusion extending from said top side for supporting a neck of an infant during transport, and wherein the top side and bottom side extend from the second end at a 16-30 degree angle.   
     
     
         2 . The infant transport support device of  claim 1 , further comprising a first and/or a second lateral border between from the top and bottom sides for reducing movement of an infant placed on the device. 
     
     
         3 . The infant transport support device of  claim 1 , further comprising at least a second protrusion extending from the top side of the device for limiting downward movement of the infant. 
     
     
         4 . The infant transport support device of  claim 2 , wherein the first and/or second lateral borders are removable. 
     
     
         5 . The infant transport support device of  claim 1 , wherein the device comprises memory foam to reduce vibration to the baby during transport. 
     
     
         6 . The infant transport support device of  claim 1 , wherein the device comprises one or more springs disposed between the top side and the bottom side to reduce vibration to the baby during transport. 
     
     
         7 . The infant transport support device of  claim 1 , further comprising a removable shade device for decreasing light stimulation. 
     
     
         8 . The infant transport support device of  claim 1 , further comprising a notch configured for receiving and positioning a head portion of a baby. 
     
     
         9 . The infant transport support device of  claim 1 , wherein the protrusion is contiguous with the top surface of the device. 
     
     
         10 . The infant transport support device of  claim 2 , wherein the protrusion is associated with the first and/or second lateral border. 
     
     
         11 . The infant transport support device of  claim 2 , wherein the first and/or second lateral border is adjustable relative to the device. 
     
     
         12 . The infant transport support device of  claim 2 , wherein the first and/or second lateral border is removable. 
     
     
         13 . A method for positioning an infant during transport, comprising:
 placing an infant on the infant support device of  claim 1 , such that a neck of the infant is positioned at the first protrusion, and a midline of the infant is centered between the first and second side of the device, such that the device reduces vibration and/or movement of the infant during transport.   
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 14 , further comprising a notch configured to receive a head portion of the infant, such that the head is positioned at the notch portion to reduce movement of the head during transport. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 13 , further comprising a removable shade for placement over the top surface of the device, such that the shade reduces light and/or sound to the infant.
