The head support 110 supports the head of the infant having an asymmetrical back head from the floor surface. The head support 110 may be implemented using a filler such as air, cotton or latex. At one side of the head supporting part 110, a seating part 111 on which the protruded part of the head of the infant is seated is formed. The seat portion 111 seats a protruding portion of the head of the infant and serves to support the load of the head. In the case of an asymptomatic head of a child, the head is prevented from falling into the squeezed area, and the load is transmitted to the protruded area. Thus, the squeezed portion of the occipital region does not touch the bottom surface.

The head inclination adjusting unit 120 adjusts the height of the head supporting unit 110 so that the protruded portion of the back of the infant is seated on the seating unit 111. The head slope adjusting unit 120 may be formed inside or outside of the head supporting unit 110 and may be realized by an air pump or a pneumatic or hydraulic actuator, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The head angle of the infant is adjusted as the head slope adjusting unit 120 lifts or descends the height. In this case, the head slope adjusting unit 120 may adjust the height of the head of the head differently depending on the portion where the head of the head is squeezed.

The body supporting portion 130 serves to support the body of the infant from the bottom surface. It is particularly preferable to be formed while supporting along the back vertebra line of the infant. The body support 130 may be implemented using a filler such as air, cotton or latex. The body supporting portion 130 functions to tilt the body of the infant to one side to prevent the body from being twisted due to the difference in inclination with the head. The body support 130 is preferably supported over the shoulders, back, waist, and buttocks of the infant. In addition, a seat belt (not shown) may be formed on the body support 130 to prevent the body of the infant from being separated.
