Abstract
A support platform for infants which can be inclined into varying angles to alleviate pressure in the esophageal and abdominal areas of the infant's body. The support platform is generally oblong in shape and includes a support post adapted to be straddled by the legs of the infant, and an indentation being formed in the platform to support the infant in a sitting-standing posture upon inclination of the platform. A friction pivot is provided to selectively incline the platform and infant at varying degrees relative to the horizontal. Retaining straps are provided to restrain the child on the platform and to prevent the infant's upper body from slumping forwardly and downwardly.
