Abstract: A multi-function insert adapted for use as a play mat and as a seat cover for a shopping cart which includes a handlebar and a seat having a seat bottom, a backrest, and a pair of leg openings. The insert comprises a panel which defines opposed front and back surfaces. Disposed within the panel are at least two flaps which are selectively movable between open and closed positions. Attached to the panel is a fastening mechanism which is configured to selectively maintain a portion of the panel in releasable engagement to the handlebar of the shopping cart when the insert is used as a seat cover. The panel is sized and configured such that when releasably engaged to the handlebar, extended along and over the seat bottom, and draped over the backrest, the flaps will be substantially aligned with respective ones of the leg openings of the shopping cart.

Abstract: A car seat support comprising an elongate body portion and a head portion which extends from one end of the body portion. Extending from respective opposed sides of the head portion is an identically configured pair of elongate ear portions. The ear portions may be rolled or folded as necessary to be firmly captured between the head of an infant and the side walls of the receptacle of an infant car seat.

Abstract: An infant carrier configured to be worn by a wearer is disclosed. The infant carrier includes a seat support configured to support an infant's bottom, a back support, which is integral with the seat support, a head support which is integral with the back support and a strap support system which is worn around the wearer's torso to support the infant in the infant carrier. The seat support is diaper-like in shape with a front notch to prevent chafing the infant. Preferably, the strap support system is made up of a single pair of straps. Preferably, there is a separation (e.g., a seam) between the back support and the head support which allows the head support to be folded down when not being used to support the infant's head.

Abstract: A toy set comprising a plurality of plush toys, each of which includes a plush character having a plush ring frictionally engageable thereto. An elongate rod is provided which is releasably attachable to a base. The rod and the plush rings are sized and configured relative to each other such that the plush rings are advanceable over the rod when detached from the corresponding plush characters. The plush toys may be releasably attached to and suspended from a support bar comprising part of a crib mobile or an activity arch.

Abstract: An infant carrier configured to be worn by a wearer is disclosed. The infant carrier includes a seat support configured to support an infant's bottom, a back support, which is integral with the seat support, a head support which is integral with the back support and a strap support system which is worn around the wearer's torso to support the infant in the infant carrier. The seat support is diaper-like in shape with a front notch to prevent chafing the infant. Preferably, the strap support system is made up of a single pair of straps. Preferably, there is a separation (e.g., a seam) between the back support and the head support which allows the head support to be folded down when not being used to support the infant's head.

Abstract: A multi-function mobile comprising an elongate, flexible support bar defining opposed first and second end portions. Attached to the support bar is a connector mechanism which is moveable between latched and unlatched positions. The first and second end portions of the support bar are maintained in close proximity to each other when the connector mechanism is in its latched position. Releaseably engageable to the first and second end portions of the support bar is a pliable cover member which is used to maintain the support bar in a substantially ring-like configuration. An elongate engagement strap is releaseably engageable to the connector mechanism when the same is moved to its unlatched position. The engagement strap is sized and configured such that when engaged to the connector mechanism, the first and second end portions are drawn toward each other in a manner causing the support bar to assume a substantially arch-like configuration.
