Abstract

Abstract A baby cover has a rectangular section adapted to be placed on a mattress. A pair of straps is provided at opposite edges of the rectangular section and are adapted to be attached to a crib and, in addition, bands are provided in the region of each corner of the rectangular section, these being adapted to be passed beneath a corresponding corner of a mattress. The straps and bands serve to secure and maintain the rectangular section in requisite position on a mattress. A jacket-shaped section adapted to receive part of the upper anatomy of a baby and to be located above the rectangular section when the latter is on a matress is integrally connected to the rectangular section via a connecting section, and a continuous slit extends from the rectangular section to the jacket-shaped section. The slit permits a baby to be placed in the cover in such a manner that a lower part of the anatomy is below the rectangular section when the latter is on a mattress and an upper part of the anatomy is received in the jacket-shaped section. A zipper is provided for closing the slit after a baby has been placed in the cover so as to retain the baby in the cover.
