FIELD OF THE INVENTIONThe present invention relates generally to infant clothing. More specifically, the present invention is a versatile infant garment that effortlessly changes in between a onesie and a swaddle wrap. The present invention also includes a removable strap to enhance the safety features as the removable strap secures the versatile infant garment to a pillow.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONA onesie is an infant's one-piece and close-fitting lightweight garment. Onesies usually have short or long sleeves but leaving the legs uncovered and fastening with snaps at the crotch. More specifically, the onesie is a garment that is designed to be worn by infants much like a T-shirt, but they are distinguished from T-shirts by an extension below the waist, with fastenings that allow it to be closed over the crotch. The purpose of the opening at the crotch is to facilitate access to the infant's diaper. However, onesies fail to cover the legs of an infant similar to a swaddle wrap as the infant's legs are generally exposed. The swaddle wrap is a lightweight fabric and covers an infant's body, except the head. The swaddle wrap generally includes a pouch and adjustable wings so that the infant can be placed within the pouch and wrapped by the adjustable wings. The swaddle wrap can keep an infant from being disturbed by their own startle reflex, and it can help them warm for the first few days of life until their internal thermostat kicks in. The swaddle wrap may even help to calm your baby when they just need to feel something similar to the tightness and security of the womb.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a versatile infant garment that effortlessly changes in between the onesie and the swaddle wrap. More specifically, the present invention comprises openable leg holes which enable the conversion between the onesie and the swaddle wrap. As a result, caregivers can easily utilize the functionalities of the onesie and the swaddle wrap without having to disturb the infant. Furthermore, the present invention comprises a removable strap that allows the caregivers to secure the present invention to any type of pillow. As a result, the present invention is able to prevent accidental slippage of the infant.
