  • the restrainer can also be used to position babies at times other than when sleeping.
  • the restrainer can be used to position a baby in an upright sitting position in a car seat, a chair, a swing, a high chair, etc. preventing the infant from falling forward or sideways.
  • One chock is snuggled into one side of the infant, the connecting band is placed across the infant's middle and the second chock is snuggled into the other side of the infant wedging him into the upright position.
  • the connecting band is made of washable fabric. Integral with the connecting band are pockets at each extremity made of washable fabric removably enclosed within which are water-resistant and tear-resistant shells each containing a quantity of sand, rice, beans or man-made equivalents of sufficient weight to retain the infant in the desired position.
  • the restrainer can also, be used over the blanket of a sleeping child to keep the blanket in position and for added warmth and comfort.
  • a weighted malleable chock can be used to restrain only one limb of an infant.
  • a weighted soft chock has soft straps for bracing the infant's limb to the weighted chock so that the limb is held motionless for example, for intravenous administration.

If not made from manufactured quilted fabric, band 4 may have a layer of washable insulating material, such as THERMAL LAMB*, positioned between the layers of fabric and stitched to the two-ply washable fabric. This treatment gives a quilted appearance to the band 4 and keeps the insulated layer from bunching up when laundered. This insulated layer aside from providing extra warmth to the user, gives the band 4 a soft padding.
