Bottom section (14) contains 2 drawers (52) which are used to carry drugs, medical supplies and instruments for treatment of the infant patient. The top section (12) may be quickly released from bottom section (14) if the user wants to make top section (12) lighter and more portable. The infant's body is placed in indentation (36) of the top surface (28) and securely restrained by a plurality of straps (44) using hook and pile fasteners (46). The infant's head is restrained in head indentation (26) which is equipped with two small sand bag pillows (32) attached to indentation (26) by hook and pile fasterners (33) and (34).
