A baby recliner has two cushions separated from each other by a seam along which one cushion can be folded back against the other cushion to establish a cushion stack. The top cushion is formed with a baby channel defined by seams, with lateral support sections being established outboard of the seams defining the channel. A baby can be placed in the baby channel with his or her head on the cushion stack elevated above the legs which extend down the slightly slanted channel.
