ABSTRACT:
An infant carrier adapted to be worn about the waist of an adult for supporting and transporting an infant on the hip region of the wearer. According to a preferred embodiment, such carrier comprises a fabric belt and an integral fabric seat portion which is adapted to receive and support an infant who is positioned to face the adult wearer with legs straddling the wearer's waist. The integral seat portion is defined by a section of the belt, a loop of fabric extending away from and back to the belt section at spaced locations, and a pair of spaced gussets, positioned one above the other and connecting the belt section and the loop portion. A compressible member, such as polyurethane, foam rubber, or a bladder of air, is disposed in the volume defined by the aforementioned seat-defining members. By virtue of the integral belt/seat design, the weight of the infant is more broadly distributed about the wearer's waist and hip region, and the product is considerably easier manufacture compared to prior art infant carriers of the same type.
