Embodiments of the present disclosure relate generally to a baby carrier. The baby carrier allows the parent or caregiver to wear the baby on his/her back. In one embodiment, the baby carrier is provided as a backpack-like system without buckles, clamps, Velcro, a metal frame, rings or fasteners, or any other non-material components.

A child carrier adapted to hold a child in front pack and backpack configurations is described. Embodiments of the child carrier include a support device implemented for persons weighing between 7-17 lbs. Generally, the support device can have a first position for persons weighing between 10-17 lbs. and a second position for persons weighing between 7-10 lbs. In the first position, a concave face of the support device can be contoured to interface with torso/buttocks of an infant. In the second position, the support device can be folded together providing an area suitable for an infant.

An apparatus and method for making same utilizing a breathable mesh material having a reduced suffocation resistance level for infant and toddler use. The breathable mesh material includes an inner and outer fabric that includes larger openings on the front substructure than on the back substructure and a pile substructure is integrated and extends between the front and back substructures allowing air to substantially move effectively therethrough.

A child carrier having a waist belt, an upper torso support, a hammock coupled to the waist belt and to the upper torso support, and a thigh support strap extending to each side of the hammock. Each thigh support strap has an inward end portion proximate to the hammock and an outward end portion configured for selective coupling to the upper torso support in multiple positions. When the thigh support straps are coupled to the upper torso support, the hammock and the thigh support straps form a seat to support a child in an ergonomic spread-squat position in inward and outward facing orientations. The shape of the seat adjusts depending on the positions in which the outward end portions of the thigh support straps are coupled to the upper torso support.

A carrier for securing and carrying a pet or a baby includes a connecting panel, first and second slings, and first and second adjustable straps. The first and second slings are fixedly attached to the connecting panel. When the carrier is worn, the connecting panel is centered vertically on the wearer's back whereas the first and second slings crisscross on their front torso. The slings are wide enough to hold a pet. Furthermore, the connecting panel includes a base panel, inner panel, and cover panel. The first and second slings and the first and second adjustable straps are each sewn in between the base panel and the inner panel, and the base panel and the cover panel are sewn together to cover the inner panel. The base panel includes a fabric cover, soft sponge, and mesh cover, with the soft sponge positioned between the fabric cover and mesh cover.

A baby sling with two shoulder straps includes a flexible body, two shoulder straps, waist belt and two adjustment flaps. The waist belt is coupled to the bottom edge of the flexible body. First couplers are disposed at the waist belt and positioned proximate to the left and right ends of the bottom edge of the flexible body, respectively. The two adjustment flaps flank the flexible body, are positioned proximate to the waist belt, and each include a second coupler coupled to a corresponding one of the first couplers. The second couplers of the adjustment flaps are coupled to the first couplers of the waist belt, respectively. The coverage of the baby's thighs is adjusted according to the baby's body size to maximize the support the baby's body receives.

Embodiments disclosed herein provide hip seat devices and systems for carrying a child in a position that is ergonomically beneficial for the child and comfortable for the wearer. A hip seat device may comprise a seating platform attached to a wearer engagement surface. The wearer engagement surface is held against the body of a wearer, such as by a waist belt encircling the wearer. The seating platform has a bucket shape for promoting a child seated thereon to assume an ergonomic spread-squat position (M position). The bucket shape may have the additional benefit of bringing the child closer to the wearer, reducing the moment on the carrier and thus the resulting force on the wearer.

A childcare device including a base in the shape of a closed loop; a cavity bounded and defined by the closed loop; and wherein the device is adapted to receive a part of a child's body through the cavity; and the base is independently usable as a baby sling, a walking aid or a seat safety strap.
