ABSTRACT:
An infant carrier adapted to be worn about the waist of an adult for supporting and transporting an infant on the hip of the wearer. According to a preferred embodiment, such carrier comprises a shaped member having first and second contoured portions joined along an arcuate line approximating the waist line of the intended wearer. The first contoured portion is shaped to receive and support the buttocks and legs of an infant who is positioned to face the adult wearer with legs straddling the wearer's waist. The second contoured portion is shaped to the hip region of the wearer. The carrier may also include a belt for securing the shaped member to the wearer's waist. By virtue of its design, the weight of the infant is broadly distributed about the wearer's waist and hip region, thereby avoiding the neck and shoulder strain characteristic of heretofore proposed infant carriers.
