A lightweight, portable sitting support for infants that provides back and side support for infants that can hold their heads up well and sit up for some amount of time unassisted but that do not yet have the skills to remain in a seated position without back and side support which is structurally sturdy and does not rely for stability on its own mass and weight or on the mass and weight or balance of the individual using it and which also has other applications during the child's infancy and as the child grows including as a lightweight, portable sleeping mat, chair and lounge chair. The base of the invention is a substantially rectangular-shaped, thinly padded base made of strong fabric such as nylon. Extending from the base are four cushions and four flaps with buckles. Two parallelepiped substantially rectangular-shaped cushions of the same width as the base extend horizontally over the base beginning at one of the base's horizontal edges and cover approximately two-thirds of the surface area of the base. At the opposite horizontal edge of the base, two parallelepiped substantially square cushions extend vertically at approximately right angles to the base. The seat of the invention is formed by the uncovered portion of the base lying between the two vertical cushions. Two flaps with buckles extend from the opposing longitudinal sides of the seat portion of the base. Two additional flaps with buckles extend from the opposing longitudinal sides of the base behind the lower of the two substantially rectangular-shaped cushions extending horizontally over the base. The invention also includes two parallelepiped unattached cushions of the same width and length as the seat. By buckling or unbuckling the flaps, changing the position of the invention, and/or placing the unattached cushion(s) in the seat, the invention variously forms the infant sitting support, infant and child sleeping mat, and child chair and lounge chair described.
