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.
