PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide improvements relating to a child-supporting shoulder harness, an improved clasp therefor, and detachable child supports. SOLUTION: A clasp for coupling first and second parts of a baby carrier and support, comprises first and second components, associated respectively with the baby carrier and support, wherein the first component has a mating surface and extending outwardly therefrom a pin-like extending element having at a proximal end a shaft of a first diameter with an increased diameter portion at a distal end and an abutment element, the second component has a mating surface, which in operation faces the mating surface of the first component and has a channel, wherein the channel has an aperture and a rebate of sufficient size to accept insertion of the distal end portion of the extending element and to enable the distal end portion of the pin to be slid along the channel from the aperture along a first rectilinear section, through a second generally hook-like section to an engagement position, wherein movement of the distal end portion within the channel towards the engagement portion is generally lateral with respect to a direction of load, until the respective abutment element abut at least a portion of the aperture of the channel upon engagement, whereby, movement of the distal end portion is limited in the load direction.
