A two-shoulder trunk-engaging infant carrier for protectively supporting an infant, which includes a substantially thick, cushioned seating platform, removably housed in fabric or fabric-like material. An extension of the fabric projects upward from the bottom-most edges of the platform in the form of a three-sided compartment with a front-closing catch/release and leg partition. A long belt issues from an expandable rim passage and is extendable around the compartment for manipulative control of the infant's posture and movements in a space structured to allow variable margins of freedom. Adjustable carrier-straps adjoin the outside-rear compartment wall horizontally in an area just above the platform and somewhat short of the sides, well below the rim and in use lie symmetrically and harness-like in one continuous stretch, being held around the carrier-person's rib cage by a rear-mounted buckle, then over the shoulders and anchored under the platform along the forward edge and on the sides of the platform along the two forward edges, so that this hinge-like positioning of the platform allows the infant's weight to tip the seating platform moderately, frontwise or sidewise, easing the impact of shifting weight. Being attached well below the rim, the carrier-straps are free of the rim so that the compartment is free from their caustic pull. Head rests fastened to narrow strapping issuing through the loops holding the carrier-strap shoulder fasteners support the sides of the infant's unsteady head. The substantial vertical thickness of the seating platform also reduces the pressure against the carrier-person's body.
