Abstract
A protective pad for a crib rail is comprised of an elongated normally rectangularly shaped body of resilient foam material covered by a thin flexible sheet-like plastic. The side edges of the pad are undulated and include a plurality of fasteners on the high portions thereof. The fasteners, when fastened, extend between adjacent slats of the crib to maintain the pad in a substantially inverted U-shape wherein the same extends over the top and sides of the rail. Located within the pad is an elongated normally air-filled tubular member having a reed at one end thereof. When a force is exerted on the pad, air is forced out of the tube and through the reed to create a squeaking noise.

A protective pad for a crib rail having a plurality of spaced slats connected thereto comprising:
- an inverted U-shaped body of soft resilient material extending over the top and sides of the rail;
- a thin flexible sheet-like material covering said resilient material;
- a plurality of fastener means carried on opposed edges of said pad, said fastener means, when fastened, extending between adjacent slats to detachably maintain said body in said U-shape, and
- a pneumatic noisemaker including an elongated air-filled tube having a reed adjacent one end thereof, said noisemaker being located within said body so as to overlie said rail when said pad is in place whereby said noisemaker emits a noise whenever a force is applied to said pad.
