The present invention relates to an upfront carrier device for infants or other items which is adapted to be secured to a wearers upper body and comprises first and second rigid, inverted J-shaped members, each of the J-shaped members comprises a downwardly extending short leg portion and a downwardly extending long leg portion interconnected by a top portion which is positioned central over each shoulder of the wearer. A cross-bar interconnection member including first and second ends extends between and is connected to at its first and second ends to the first and second J-shaped member long leg portions to position the long leg portions parallel to each other. The J-shaped member long leg portions are pivotally attached to the cross-bar interconnection member to allow about 90 DEG inward axial rotation of the long leg portions and cause the short leg portions to swing into a folded position. A generally U-shaped seat portion having a front, first side, second side, first end and second end is provided. The seat portion first end is pivotally connected to the first J-shaped member long leg portion and the seat portion second end is pivotally connected to the second J-shaped member long leg portion to allow the seat portion to swing upwardly from a substantially horizontal position and against the long leg portion into a folded position. A stop means on the cross-bar interconnection member is provided to lock the seat portion into a less than 90 DEG horizontal position from the long leg portions.
