ABSTRACT:
A front infant carrier which includes a vest-like harness that is worn by the attendant, a detachable infant shell, and a sling. The detachable infant shell attaches to the harness at three attachment points, either in a forward-facing or rearward-facing orientation. In the rearward-facing position, the shell attaches to the harness by a peg/button mounted at the crotch of the shell which snaps into a socket centrally mounted at the lower front of the harness, and by a pair of upper clips on the shell which engage rings on the upper front of the harness. The forward-facing attachment uses a second peg/button at the lower back portion of the shell, instead of the crotch peg/button, and attaches in a similar fashion, whereby the second peg/button snaps into the socket centrally mounted at the lower front of the harness, and the pair of upper clips on the shell engage the rings on the upper front of the harness. A sling may also be attached to the harness at three points, the sling having a third peg/button which mates with the socket centrally mounted at the lower front of the harness and has a pair of upper clips which engage the rings on the upper front of the harness. The sling may be attached so that the disengaged shell and carried infant may be rested sideways within the sling. The sling is reinforced with sewn-in battens to help provide support for the infant to rest in the sling alternatively without the shell.
