  • Patent number: 10098477
    Abstract: The cushioned choke-safe play mat is an apparatus that provides a safe and comfortable area for the playing of young children or infants. The cushioned choke-safe play mate includes an enclosing cover, a cushioning layer, and a plurality of toys. The enclosing cover surrounds the cushioning layer, and the plurality of toys is fixed along the exterior of the enclosing cover. The enclosing cover includes an upper layer and a lower layer. The upper layer and the lower layer are perimetrically connected to each other. This engagement between the upper layer and the lower layer encloses around the cushioning layer. More specifically, the lower layer is beneath the cushioning layer and the upper layer is above the cushioning layer. Consequently, as a user rests on top of the upper layer, the user is comfortably resting on top of the cushioning layer while safely playing with the plurality of toys.
