Abstract
Abstract A child's bedding is provided which has a flat, generally rectangular blanket portion. A pair of spaced-apart straps are attached to the top edge of the blanket. The straps are adjustable both vertically as well as laterally. A plurality of fasteners permit alternate rows of fasteners to be engaged thereby allowing the bedding to adjust to different size children. A sewn-in pleat further adds to adjustability by allowing the bedding to be lengthened. Fasteners at the bottom of the bedding provide warmth and keep the child from kicking off the bedding. Lastly, a centrally disposed fastener provides a means to secure the child in a maximum vertical position.
