Infant sling-type carrier

摘要

A sling-type infant carrier has an endless strap which extends in diagonal fashion from one shoulder of the wearer downwardly along the front and back of the torso so as to loop around the opposite side of the wearer at or near the hip or waist region. The lower looped end of the strap has a child-support portion in the form of a pad of flexible, elongated tubular construction surrounding and secured to the lower looped end which can be straddled by the child. A side-reinforcing portion has opposite ends attached to the endless strap about or slightly beyond the child support region and preferably is releasably and adjustably attached to the endless strap at least at one end so as to permit adjustable attachment to conform to the size of the child and comfortably pass around the outside of the child along the waist or chest region somewhat beneath the arm. An auxiliary shoulder strap may be used which extends over the other shoulder of the wearer with opposite ends secured to the front and back portions of the endless strap.
