ABSTRACT:
Collapsible baby carriers are provided which may be employed by themselves as car beds, car seats, or infant seats or in conjunction with collapsible frames to provide strollers, carriages, high chairs, bathinettes and the like. One embodiment of the collapsible carrier involves a two-piece telescoping carrier provided with a series of hinges, which requires no locks or fasteners; the two-piece carrier remains open as long as an infant is positioned therein and when desired, is easily collapsed. Two and three-way carriers are also provided which include a head portion, body portion and foot portion. The positions of the head portion and the foot portion may be adjusted independently of each other. Alternatively, movement and positioning of one of the head and foot portions may cause corresponding movement and positioning in the other.
In addition, a unique semi-circular track arrangement is provided for use in conjunction with carrier-frame combinations or swing sets which permits a carrier to be deployed and secured in any desired disposition with regard to the frame.
