BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

(1) Field of the Invention

The disclosure and prior art relates to bottle holders and more particularly pertains to a new bottle holder for securing a baby bottle to a car seat or stroller.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a torso that is stuffed. A pair of hind legs and a head are coupled to the torso. The head has a pair of eyes, a pair of ears, and a nose coupled to a snout portion of the head. The snout portion extends from beneath the pair of eyes and has a bottle cavity extending into the torso that is configured to receive a baby bottle. A bottle ring is coupled to the head. The bottle ring is coupled around a perimeter of the bottle cavity and the bottle ring is elasticized and configured to secure the baby bottle within the bottle cavity. A pair of arms is coupled to the torso, and each of the pair of arms has a flexible inner arm tubing and a soft outer arm layer continuously coupled around the inner arm tubing. Each of the pair of arms is flexible such that it can maintain its shape, and each of the pair of arms is configured to wrap around a handle of a car seat or a stroller. A pair of hands is coupled to the pair of arms, and each of the pair of hands comprises a palm and a plurality of fingers coupled to the palm. Each of the fingers has a flexible inner finger tubing and a soft outer finger layer continuously coupled around the inner finger tubing. Each of the fingers is flexible such that it can maintain its shape, and each of the fingers is configured to wrap around the handle. The torso, the pair of hind legs, the head, the pair of arms, and the pair of hands form a stuffed animal.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

As best illustrated inFIGS. 1 through 5, the stuffed animal bottle holder apparatus10generally comprises a torso12that is stuffed. A pair of hind legs14is coupled to the torso12, and each of the pair of hind legs14has a flat back paw portion16. A head18is coupled to the torso12. The head18has a pair of eyes20, a pair of ears22, and a nose24coupled to a snout portion26. The snout portion26extends from beneath the pair of eyes20and has a bottle cavity28that extends into the torso12and is configured to receive a baby bottle30. A bottle ring32is coupled to the head18. The bottle ring32has an elastic band34and a scrunched ring lining36continuously covering the elastic band34. The ring lining36is coupled around a perimeter of the bottle cavity28. The bottle ring32is elasticized and configured to secure the baby bottle30within the bottle cavity28. A carry strap38is coupled to the head18behind the pair of ears22. A pair of arms40is coupled to the torso12, and each of the pair of arms40has a flexible inner arm tubing42and a soft outer arm layer44continuously coupled around the inner arm tubing42. The outer arm layer44follows the contour of a plurality of arm ridges46of the inner arm tubing. The inner arm tubing42may be extendable and alternatively compressible gooseneck tubing. Each of the pair of arms40is flexible such that it can maintain its shape. Each of the pair of arms40is configured to wrap around a handle50of a car seat51or a stroller to secure the apparatus10.

A pair of hands52is coupled to the pair of arms40. Each of the pair of hands52comprises a palm54and a plurality of fingers56coupled to the palm54. Each of the fingers56has a rounded tip58and a rubberized finger grip60coupled to an underside61of the tip58. A rubberized paw grip62is coupled to an inside63of the palm54. Each of the fingers56has a flexible inner finger tubing64and a soft outer finger layer66continuously coupled around the inner finger tubing64. The outer finger layer66follows the contour of a plurality of finger ridges68of the inner finger tubing64. The inner finger tubing64may also be extendable and alternatively compressible gooseneck tubing. Each of the fingers56is flexible such that it can maintain its shape, and each of the fingers56is configured to wrap around the handle50to further secure the apparatus10. The finger grips60, which may be circular, and paw grips62help to prevent slippage on the handle50. The torso12, the pair of hind legs14, the head18, the pair of arms40, and the pair of hands52form a stuffed animal70. The stuffed animal70may be one of a stuffed bear71, a stuffed cat, or a stuffed monkey. The torso12, the head18, and the hind legs14may be a plush furry material that is desirable for a child to hold.

In use, the baby bottle30is inserted into the torso12of the stuffed animal70. The pair of arms40is wrapped and alternatively unwrapped from the handle50of the car seat51or stroller as desired to hold the baby bottle30in place near the child.
