According to Honoring the Inventor Blog, here is some useful and interesting information on Coverplay:

“Here’s the key patent behind Coverplay, featured on ABC’s Shark Tank show last week.

Allison Costa’s patent 7,401,366 titled Children’s play yard and elastic, removable liner was issued on 7/22/2008–

Various embodiments of the invention are directed towards a baby play yard cover or lining that lines the walls and floor of a baby play yard in order that the play yard is protected from soiling by the baby. Various embodiments of the invention are re-attachable such that the play yard liner may be washed separately from the play yard. The play yard cover has a plurality of elastic reinforcing portions which facilitate the securing of the cover to its corresponding play yard.

And yes, the company won funding from the Sharks….”

Coverplay is the new “in” when it comes to baby and child products. Not only does this miraculous creation add flair and beauty to a dull and drab play yard, but it also protects your child from germs and bacteria. Especially if you are traveling and on the road, having to put your kids in rented or hotel-provided play yards can be worrisome, especially when it comes to germs. With Coverplay all those fears can be cast aside and you can be sure that you child will be able to play in a safe and germ-free environment!

As a new mother, Allison loved putting her twins in their play yard where they’d nap, hang out, and play together in a safe, contained area. But she was frustrated with how hard it was to keep the play yard clean. It also stood out like a sore thumb in her custom-designed living space. The solution? Whimsical patterns and traditional styles complete a classic collection of comfortable, kid-friendly sheets and slipcovers that fit virtually all play yards. Did we mention they shield kids from germs?
