Abstract
An inventive protective device for developing infants is provided, where the protective device is comprised of a triangularly-shaped, padded front portion conforming to the infant's chest, a triangularly-shaped, padded back portion conforming to the infant's back, and a crotch portion connecting the front and back portions. The front and back portions are each constructed of a plurality of tapering tubular-shaped structures extending from the top edge towards the crotch area, with the crotch portion lacking any padding. The inventive protective device fills the gap between the infant's torso and any seating enclosure into which the infant is placed, so as to reduce the chance for injury due to sudden and rapid movement against the enclosure.
