DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0020] As discussed above, embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a baby accessory and more particularly to a car seat swaddle blanket system as used to improve the baby swaddle blanket.
[0021] Generally, the car seat swaddle blanket system is a backless swaddle blanket designed to meet safety standards for infant seats. The present invention includes a swaddle blanket which can be removed from the baby and seat without removing the baby from the seat. It can also be put on the baby while the baby is in the car seat. It is designed for an infant bucket car seat. The device prevents a child from kicking the blanket away on to the floor.
[0022] Referring now more specifically to the drawings by numerals of reference, there is shown in FIGS. 1-5, various views of a car seat swaddle blanket system 100. FIG. 1 shows a car seat swaddle blanket system 100 during an ‘in-use’ condition 150, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As illustrated, the car seat swaddle blanket system 100 may include a blanket 110 having a body 112 comprising a front-surface 116, a back-surface 118, an aperture 120, and a periphery 124 comprising a first-edge 126, a second-edge 128, a third-edge 130, and a fourth-edge 132. The device may be used for swaddling a baby and providing access to buckle fasteners 10 of a car seat 20.
[0023] FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of the car seat swaddle blanket system 100 of FIG. 1, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As above, the car seat swaddle blanket system 100 may include the blanket 110 having the body 112 defined by the periphery 124. The body 112 is further defined by the front-surface 116 and the back-surface 118 opposing each other and integral with each other. The back-surface 118 is in contact with the car seat 20 when in use during an in-use condition. The periphery 124 comprises the first-edge 126, the second-edge 128, the third-edge 130, and the fourth-edge 132, respectively. The first-edge 126 is positioned proximal to a top of the car seat 20, the second-edge 128 is positioned proximal to a right-side of the car seat 20, the third-edge 130 is positioned proximal to a bottom of the car seat 20, and the fourth edge 132 is positioned proximal to a left-side of the car seat 20 during the in-use condition.
[0024] FIG. 3 shows a perspective view of the car seat swaddle blanket system 100 of FIG. 1, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As above, the car seat swaddle blanket system 100 may include the blanket 110 having the body 112 comprising the front-surface 116, the back-surface 118, the aperture 120, and the periphery 124. The aperture 120 comprises a substantially rectangular profile or other suitable shape for exposing the buckle fasteners 10 and any clips or straps for a car seat 20. The buckle fasteners 10 are exposed during the in-use condition. The aperture 120 is configured to provide access to all of the buckle fasteners 10 and straps of the car seat. The blanket 110 may comprise a flexible fabric for wrapping a baby. The aperture 120 is located in a center of the body 112 and is configured to receive buckle fasteners 10 of the car seat 20. The car seat swaddle blanket system 100 may be removeably used for wrapping a baby 30 in the car seat 20 and allowing access to all of the buckle fasteners of the car seat 20.
[0025] FIG. 4 shows a perspective view of the car seat swaddle blanket system 100 of FIG. 1, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. In a preferred embodiment, the aperture 120 may comprise an aperture-width of approximately 5 inches and an aperture-length of approximately 14.5 inches. A distance from an outer edge of the aperture 120 to the third-edge 130 is approximately 18 inches. A distance from an outer edge of the aperture 120 to the first-edge 126 is approximately 15.5 inches. A length from the aperture 120 to the second-edge 128, and the aperture 120 to the fourth-edge 132 are each respectively approximately 21.5 inches. The body 112 has a body-length and body-width of approximately 48.5 inches. Other dimensions may be used in alternate embodiments.
[0026] FIG. 5 shows a perspective view of the car seat swaddle blanket system 100 of FIG. 1, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As above, the car seat swaddle blanket system 100 may include the blanket 110 having the body 112 comprising the front-surface 116, the back-surface 118, the aperture 120, and the periphery 124 comprising the first-edge 126, the second-edge 128, the third-edge 130, and the fourth-edge 132. The first-edge 126, the second-edge 128, the third-edge 130, and the fourth-edge 132 each comprise a flap 134. The flap 134 comprises a rounded apex further extending the first-edge 126, the second-edge 128, the third-edge 130, and the fourth-edge 132 from the body 112. The second-edge 128 and the fourth-edge 132 are opposing one another in a planar, non-folded-condition. The first-edge 126 and the third-edge 130 are also opposing one another in the planar, non-folded-condition. The third-edge 130 is configured to be folded upwardly towards the first-edge 126 to wrap the baby within. The fourth-edge 132 is configured to be folded inwardly towards the second-edge 128 and the second-edge 128 is configured to be folded inwardly towards the fourth-edge 132. The device may be used as shown in the present FIGS. 1-5 and as disclosed herein.
[0027] The embodiments of the invention described herein are exemplary and numerous modifications, variations and rearrangements can be readily envisioned to achieve substantially equivalent results, all of which are intended to be embraced within the spirit and scope of the invention.
