Infant head support, safety and comforting device

Abstract: An infant head and neck support comprises a support body having two substantially flat shoulder surfaces and two side support portions to restrain lateral movement of the infant's head and provide support to the infant's neck. The support also includes a rear support portion having a head contacting surface to restrain rearward movement and provide rear cushioning to the infant's head and a wrap-around portion to restrain movement and provide support to the infant's head. The support defines a depression adjacent the rear support portion to receive an infant's head and a neck cavity between the side support portions. The maximum width of the depression is larger than the maximum width of the neck cavity. The thickness of the wrap-around portion and the thicknesses of the side portions are larger than the thickness of the rear support portion.
