ABSTRACT:
A flexible, lightweight baby carrier that positions a baby to see frontward over the bearer's shoulders. The baby is supported at a height where the baby's head reaches the level of the bearer's facial features. The carrier is comprised of a pouch (10) having a head & back support (12), leg openings (16), a pair of extension straps (22), a pair of lifting straps (24), and a pair of side panels (18); also a pair of shoulder straps (26), a pair of underarm straps (32), and a backpiece (28). The shoulder straps (26) are connected at one remote end to pouch (10) and at the other remote end, behind the bearer's neck, to one another at a substantially inflexible location. Thus, a predetermined length for the shoulder straps is created. This predetermined length causes pouch (10) to be suspended on the bearer's body at the desired height. The baby can be quickly and accurately placed without the need for the bearer to first find the correct shoulder strap length. The lifting straps adjustably and diagnolly connect from the baby's diapered bottom to side panels (18) so that when lifting strap (24) is shortened and thus tightened, the baby can be further raised with maximum leverage. A detachable newborn headrest (34) is provided to support sideways head roll.
