Abstract:

A baby soothing apparatus that is an inflatable, hollow cube made from a single, homogeneous layer of flexible material and the can be used to soothe a baby by being held by an adult user sitting on the inflatable device. As the apparatus is cubical, a more stable base is provided for individuals who have trouble balancing on an exercise ball. Within the cube, the top and bottom surfaces of the cube are thicker to limit their flexibility, while the side surfaces are thinner to allow them to flex outward when an individual is using the apparatus.
