Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of children's products, and more specifically, to baby carriers. Prior Technology

[0002] Baby carriers are worn by parents to easily carry their infants and toddlers. Because baby carriers allow parents to use their hands freely while carrying their infants, using baby carriers for infant care is becoming increasingly popular.

[0003] A typical baby carrier includes a carrying panel, a waist belt, and two shoulder straps. The bottom edge of the carrying panel is fixedly connected to the top edge of the waist belt. One end of each shoulder strap is connected to the two ends of the top edge of the carrying panel, and the other end is connected to the sides of the shoulder straps. When the carrier is worn by the caregiver, the waist belt wraps around the wearer's waist, and the two shoulder straps rest on the caregiver's shoulders. The carrying panel and the caregiver's body (front chest or back) create a space for the baby to sit on. The infant's weight is transferred to the wearer's hips via the waist belt and distributed to the wearer's shoulders via the two shoulder straps. To accommodate the different sitting needs of infants at different stages of growth, parents may need to purchase different sizes of baby carriers as the infant grows. Summary of the Invention

[0114] [First Implementation Method]

[0115] A first embodiment of the present invention provides a baby carrier, comprising a carrying pouch and a waist belt, wherein the bottom of the carrying pouch is selectively connected to the waist belt, so that the baby carrier has at least two working states. The baby carrier according to the first aspect of the present invention will be specifically described below through several examples.

[0116] [First Embodiment]

[0117] Referring to Figures 1 and 2, these are front and rear views illustrating the baby carrier 100 according to a first embodiment of the present invention when worn by a caregiver (shown as phallus 9 in the figures). The baby carrier 100 includes a carrying bag 1, a waist belt 2, two shoulder straps 3, etc.

[0118] Referring to Figure 1, the carrying pad 1 is sheet-shaped and generally made of fabric. The carrying pad 1 has an outer surface 11 and an inner surface 12 (see Figure 4). The outer surface 11 is the surface of the carrying pad 1 facing away from the prosthesis 9, and the inner surface 12 is the surface of the carrying pad 1 facing the prosthesis 9. In some embodiments, the carrying pad 1 may be made of a single layer of fabric, with the outer surface 11 and the inner surface 12 being two opposite surfaces of that single layer of fabric. In other embodiments, the carrying pad 1 may include at least two layers of fabric, with the fabric of the outer surface 11 and the fabric of the inner surface 12 being made of different fabrics to balance the durability of the carrying pad 1 with the softness and comfort of the area where the carrying pad 1 contacts the infant. In some embodiments, a lining may also be filled between the outer surface 11 and the inner surface 12, the lining being, for example, made of sponge material, which provides a cushioning effect.

[0119] Referring to Figure 1, the carrier panel 1 has a top 1a and a bottom 1b that are opposite each other. The top 1a has a top edge 101, which corresponds to the baby's head. For smaller babies, when the carrier panel 1 is located at the caregiver's chest, the baby is suited to sit in the carrier panel 1 facing the caregiver (backward), and the top edge 101 may be close to the back of the baby's head. For older toddlers, when the carrier panel 1 is located at the caregiver's chest, the toddler is suited to sit in the carrier panel 1 facing away from the caregiver (forward), and the top edge 101 may be located under the toddler's armpits. The bottom 1b is used to connect to the waist belt 2 and to support the baby's buttocks.

[0120] It should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the directional terms such as "upper," "lower," "top," and "bottom" in the embodiments of the present invention refer to the orientation of the baby carrier 100 or the carrying bag piece 1 when it is in the unfolded state (as shown in Figures 3, 13, and 15, where the shoulder straps 3 are shown as being worn by the caregiver). Furthermore, the directional terms such as "left," "right," "outer," and "inner" in the embodiments of the present invention refer to the orientation of the baby carrier 100 when it is worn by the caregiver as shown in Figures 1 and 2. "Left" and "right" correspond to the caregiver's "left" and "right," "outer" corresponds to the direction away from the caregiver, and "inner" corresponds to the direction facing the caregiver. These directional terms are only used to make the description of the embodiments of the present invention clearer and are not intended to unduly limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0121] Referring to Figures 1 and 2, the waist belt 2 can be detachably or fixedly connected to the bottom 1b of the carrying bag piece 1. When in use, the waist belt 2 wraps around the caregiver's waist to distribute the infant's weight to the caregiver's hips. As is known in related art, the length of the waist belt 2 is adjustable to fit the caregiver's waist size. The waist belt 2 may be equipped with buckles 6, which connect the two ends of the waist belt 2 by engaging and locking, and separate the two ends of the waist belt 2 by releasing and detaching, thus facilitating the caregiver's putting on and taking off the waist belt 2. Referring to Figure 3, in some embodiments, the buckle 6 may include a male buckle 61 and a female buckle 62, with the male buckle 61 adjustablely disposed at one end of the waist belt 2 and the female buckle 62 disposed at the other end of the waist belt 2, and the male buckle 61 and female buckle 62 detachably snapped together. In alternative embodiments, the buckle 6 may also have other implementations.

[0122] Referring to Figures 1 to 3, the first ends of the two shoulder straps 3 are connected to the left and right ends of the top edge 101 of the carrying bag 1 at intervals. The second ends of the two shoulder straps 3 are wrapped upwards over the caregiver's shoulders and then extend downwards to be detachably connected to the left and right sides of the carrying bag 1 via buckles 5. In some embodiments, two upwardly extending connecting ears 13 are provided on both sides of the carrying bag 1, and the two shoulder straps 3 are detachably connected to the two connecting ears 13 via buckles 5. In some embodiments, the buckles 5 include a matching first fastener or male buckle 51 and a second fastener or female buckle 52. For example, the second ends of the two shoulder straps 3 are respectively provided with male buckles 51, and the outer sides of the two connecting ears 13 are respectively provided with female buckles 52. The corresponding shoulder straps 3 and connecting ears 13 are detachably connected via male buckles 51 and female buckles 52. By placing the female buckles 52 on the outer side of the connecting ears 13, the buckles 5 can be prevented from directly pressing against the infant. In addition, the upward-sloping connecting ears 13, which are aligned with the direction of force on each shoulder strap 3, also help the bag piece 1 fit snugly against the infant.

[0123] Referring to Figure 2, in some embodiments, the shoulder straps 3 cross over the caregiver's back and are connected to the connecting ear 13 on the opposite side via buckles 5. In some alternative embodiments, the two shoulder straps 3 may be connected directly to the connecting ear 13 on the same side via buckles 5 without crossing over the caregiver's back.

[0124] Referring to Figures 1, 3, and 4, the bottom 1b of the carrying strap 1 is selectively connected to the waist belt 2 to allow adjustment of the seating height provided by the carrying strap 1 for infants and toddlers. It is understood that when an infant or toddler is seated in the infant carrier 100, the carrying strap 1 supports the infant or toddler under their own weight, with the bottom 1b of the carrying strap 1 forming a support for the infant's buttocks. This seating height can be, for example, referenced to the height of the lowest point of this support relative to the waist belt 2 (e.g., the top edge 201 of the waist belt 2). When the infant carrier 100 is used for smaller infants, the carrying strap 1 provides an appropriate seating height, allowing the infant's head to be close to the caregiver's chest, providing the infant with a sense of security and comfort. When the infant carrier 100 is used for older toddlers, the carrying strap 1 provides an appropriate seating height for the toddler, preventing the toddler's head from being too close to the caregiver's head.

[0125] Referring to Figure 5, in some embodiments, the inner surface 32 of each shoulder strap 3 is provided with an opening 30, and a foldable lining 301 is housed within the opening 30. The lining 301 allows the opening 30 to open, thereby expanding the usable width W of each shoulder strap 3 (see Figure 4). In some alternative embodiments, the opening 30 may be provided on the outer surface 31 of each shoulder strap 3. Alternatively, both the inner surface 32 and the outer surface 31 of each shoulder strap 3 may be provided with an opening 30.

[0126] Referring to Figures 3 and 4, in some embodiments, the back pocket panel 1 is detachably connected to the waist belt 2. A first connector 411 is provided on the outer side 11 of the bottom 1b of the back pocket panel 1, and a first connector 412 is provided on the inner side 12 of the bottom 1b of the back pocket panel 1. A second connector 42 is provided on the inner side 22 of the waist belt 2. The second connector 42 selectively connects to either the first connector 411 on the outer side 11 or the first connector 412 on the inner side 12 of the back pocket panel 1, thereby adjusting the seating height provided by the back pocket panel 1. The method for adjusting the seating height provided by the back pocket panel 1 is described below.

[0127] Referring to Figures 6 to 8, the structure of the baby carrier 100 in its first working state is illustrated. In this first working state, the outer side 11 of the bottom 1b of the carrying bag 1 faces the inner side 22 of the waist belt 2, and the bottom 1b of the carrying bag 1 is detachably connected to the second connecting member 42 of the waist belt 2 via the first connecting member 411. Referring to Figure 6, in this first working state, the bottom 1b of the carrying bag 1 is connected to the waist belt 2 in an unfolded state.

[0128] Referring to Figures 9 to 11, the structure of the baby carrier 100 in its second working state is illustrated. In this second working state, the bottom 1b of the carrying bag 1 wraps around the bottom of the waist belt 2 and then folds upward, so that the first connector 412 on the inner side 12 of the carrying bag 1 is detachably connected to the second connector 42 of the waist belt 2. Referring to Figure 11, in this second working state, the bottom 1b of the carrying bag 1 is connected to the waist belt 2 in a folded state.

[0129] Referring to Figure 7, in the first working state, when the baby carrier 100 is in the first working state and the waist belt 2 is wrapped around the caregiver's waist, the bottom 1b of the carrying bag 1 extends from the top edge 201 of the waist belt 2 to form a bottom. Therefore, the baby carrier 100 in the first working state can provide a higher seating position suitable for the baby. Referring to Figure 10, in the second working state, when the baby carrier 100 is in the second working state and the waist belt 2 is wrapped around the caregiver's waist, since the outer side 21 of the corresponding waist belt 2 and the inner side 12 of the carrying bag 1 are not connected by a connector, the bottom 1b of the carrying bag 1 extends from the bottom edge 202 of the waist belt 2 to form a bottom. Therefore, the baby carrier 100 in the second working state can provide a lower seating position suitable for toddlers. This improves the adaptability of the baby carrier 100 to infants at different growth stages and helps reduce the financial burden on parents purchasing the baby carrier 100.

[0130] Referring to Figures 3 and 4, in some embodiments, the first connectors 411 and 412 and the second connector 42 can be matching Velcro felt. For example, the first connectors 411 and 412 can be the napped side of Velcro felt, and the second connector 42 can be the hook side of Velcro felt. As described above, the second connector 42 is selectively bonded to either the first connector 411 or the first connector 412, such that the bottom 1b of the back pocket piece 1 is connected to the waist belt 2.

[0131] Referring to Figures 3 and 4, the first connectors 411 and 412 extend laterally (laterally) on the inner and outer sides of the bottom 1b of the back pocket piece 1 and have sufficient width. The first connectors 411 and 412 are, for example, the same in size and coincidentally on the back pocket piece 1. In some alternative embodiments, the first connectors 411 and 412 may be the hook side of Velcro, and the second connector 42 may be the loop side of Velcro.

[0132] In addition, in some alternative embodiments not shown, the first connectors 411, 412 and the second connector 42 may have other implementations, such as the first connectors 411, 412 and the second connector 42 being components of a button connection structure or a snap connection structure.

[0133] There are many implementations for adjusting the seating height provided by the baby carrier 1 for infants and toddlers. For example, in some embodiments not shown, the second connector 42 is provided on the outer side 21 of the waist belt 2, omitting the first connector 411 on the outer side 11 of the baby carrier 1, while retaining the first connector 412 on the inner side 12 of the baby carrier 1. In the first working state, the first connector 412 on the inner side 12 of the baby carrier 1 is detachably connected to the second connector 42 on the outer side 21 of the waist belt 2. At this time, the baby carrier 1 provides a higher seating height. In addition, to ensure the stability of the connection between the baby carrier 1 and the waist belt 2 in the first working state, the baby carrier 1 and the waist belt 2 can also be connected by additional connectors (e.g., buttons, snaps, hooks, etc.). In the second working state, the bottom 1b of the back pocket panel 1 is wrapped around the outside of the waist belt 2, passing over the bottom of the waist belt 2 and then folded upwards, then wrapped around the top of the waist belt 2 and then folded downwards, so that the first connector 412 on the inner side 12 of the back pocket panel 1 is detachably connected to the second connector 42 on the outer side 21 of the waist belt 2. At this time, the back pocket panel 1 provides a lower seating height.

[0134] In the above embodiments, the baby carrier 100 adapts to the riding needs of infants at different growth stages by adjusting the seating height provided by the carrying bag 1. In some alternative embodiments, the effective length of the carrying bag 1 can also be adjusted to adapt to the riding needs of infants at different stages. This effective length is, for example, the length between the bottom 1b of the carrying bag 1 and the top edge 101 of the carrying bag 1 when the waist belt 2 is wrapped around the caregiver's waist and the infant is sitting in the baby carrier 100, at the point where the bottom 1b of the carrying bag 1 is no longer in contact with the caregiver's abdomen.

[0135] In some embodiments not shown, the baby carrier 100 described above can be modified to allow adjustment of the effective usable length of the carrying pouch 1. For example, the outer side 11 of the carrying pouch 1 has a first connector 411, and the inner side 12 of the carrying pouch 1 also has a first connector 412. A second connector 42 is provided on the outer side 21 of the waist belt 2. The baby carrier 100 has a first working state and a second working state. In the first working state, the first connector 412 on the inner side 12 of the carrying pouch 1 is connected to the second connector 42 on the outer side 21 of the waist belt 2. At this time, the bottom 1b of the carrying pouch 1 is in an unfolded state, and the carrying pouch 1 has a first effective usable length (approximately equal to the length between the top edge 201 of the waist belt 2 and the top edge 101 of the carrying pouch 1). Furthermore, to ensure the stability of the connection between the carrying pouch 1 and the waist belt 2 in the first working state, the carrying pouch 1 and the waist belt 2 can also be connected by additional connectors (e.g., buttons, snaps, hooks, etc.). In the second working state, the bottom 1b of the carrying bag 1 wraps around the bottom of the waist belt 2 inside the waist belt 2 and then folds forward and upward, so that the first connector 411 on the outer side 11 of the carrying bag 1 connects with the second connector 42 on the outer side 21 of the waist belt 2. At this time, the bottom 1b of the carrying bag 1 is in a folded state, and the carrying bag 1 has a second effective use length (approximately equal to the length between the top edge 201 of the waist belt 2 and the top edge 101 of the carrying bag 1). This second effective use length is less than the first effective use length. The first effective use length is suitable for older toddlers, and the second effective use length is suitable for younger infants.

[0136] [Second Embodiment]

[0137] Referring to Figure 12, a baby carrier according to a second embodiment of the present invention is illustrated. In this embodiment, the effective usable length of the carrying bag 1 is adjusted in a manner different from that of the first embodiment described above. Similar to the first embodiment, the carrying bag 1 and the waist belt 2 are detachably connected. The difference lies in that at least two third connectors 43 are provided on the outer side 11 of the bottom 1b of the carrying bag 1 along the height direction H. A fourth connector 44 is provided on the inner side 22 of the waist belt 2 (not shown in Figure 12, see Figure 9). The fourth connector 44 is selectively and detachably connected to one of the at least two third connectors 43. It is understood that the higher the fourth connector 44 is connected to the third connector 43, the shorter the effective usable length of the carrying bag 1. In the baby carrier 100 shown in Figure 12, the height direction H is consistent with the direction of the effective usable length of the carrying bag 1. In some alternative embodiments, at least two third connectors 43 may be located on the inner side 12 of the carrying bag 1, and the fourth connector 44 may be located on the outer side 21 of the waist belt 2. The embodiments of the third connector 43 and the fourth connector 44 can be found in the first connector 411, 412 and the second connector 42 described above, and will not be repeated here.

[0138] Referring again to Figure 12, in some embodiments, when the fourth connector 44 of the waist belt 2 is connected to the non-bottom third connector 43, the carrying bag panel 1 located below the waist belt 2 can be folded upwards relative to itself. In some embodiments, the carrying bag panel 1 may also include a first positioning mechanism 15, which is used to hold the carrying bag panel 1 in a folded state, thus contributing to the neat appearance of the baby carrier 100.

[0139] Referring again to Figure 12, in some embodiments, the first positioning mechanism 15 may include a first positioning member 151 and a second positioning member 152 that are detachably connected. The first positioning member 151 may be disposed on the outer side 11 of the back pocket piece 1, and the second positioning member 152 may be disposed on the outer side 21 of the waist belt 2. When the fourth connecting member 44 on the inner side 22 of the waist belt 2 is connected to the non-bottom third connecting member 43 on the outer side 11 of the back pocket piece 1, the bottom edge 102 of the back pocket piece 1 can be folded upwards around the bottom of the waist belt 2, so that the first positioning member 151 and the second positioning member 152 are detachably connected. The first positioning member 151 and the second positioning member 152 may be, for example, but not limited to, Velcro, snaps, magnetic adsorption members, etc. In alternative embodiments, the first positioning mechanism 15 may also have other implementations.

[0140] [Third Embodiment]

[0141] Referring to Figures 13 and 14, a baby carrier according to a third embodiment of the present invention is illustrated. In this embodiment, the effective usable length of the carrying bag 1 is adjusted in a manner different from that in the above embodiments. Similar to the above embodiments, the carrying bag 1 and the waist belt 2 are detachably connected. The bottom 1b of the carrying bag 1 is provided with at least two laterally extending channels 130, which are sequentially arranged in the height direction H. The waist belt 2 selectively passes through one of the at least two channels 130. It is understood that the higher the channel 130 through which the waist belt 2 passes, the shorter the effective usable length L of the carrying bag 1.

[0142] In some embodiments, when the waist belt 2 is threaded through the non-bottom channel 130, the back pocket panel 1 located below the waist belt 2 can be folded upwards relative to itself. Referring to FIG. 14, the back pocket panel 1 may further include a first positioning mechanism 15 for holding the back pocket panel 1 in a folded state. The first positioning mechanism 15 may, for example, include a first positioning member 151 and a second positioning member 152 detachably connected. The first positioning member 151 and the second positioning member 152 are, for example, spaced apart from each other in the height direction on the inner side surface 12 of the back pocket panel 1. When the waist belt 2 is threaded through the non-bottom channel 130, the bottom edge 102 of the back pocket panel 1 is folded upwards, so that the first positioning member 151 and the second positioning member 152 are detachably connected. The first positioning member 151 and the second positioning member 152 are, for example, but not limited to, Velcro, snaps, magnetic adsorption elements, etc. In alternative embodiments, the first positioning mechanism 15 may also have other implementations.

[0143] [Fourth Embodiment]

[0144] Referring to Figures 15 to 17, a baby carrier according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention is illustrated. In this embodiment, the effective length of the carrying pouch 1 is adjusted in a manner different from that in the embodiments described above. Unlike the embodiments described above, the carrying pouch 1 is fixedly connected to the waist belt 2. More specifically, the bottom edge 102 of the carrying pouch 1 is connected to the top edge 201 of the waist belt 2. The baby carrier 100 has a third working state and a fourth working state. In the third working state, the carrying pouch 1 and the waist belt 2 are in an unfolded state, and the carrying pouch 1 has a first effective length L1. In the fourth working state, the bottom edge 202 of the waist belt 2 is folded upwards and detachably connected to the carrying pouch 1, and the carrying pouch 1 has a second effective length L2. The first effective length L1 is greater than the second effective length L2. The baby carrier 100 in the third working state is suitable for older toddlers, and the baby carrier 100 in the fourth working state is suitable for younger infants.

[0145] Referring to Figures 16 and 17, in some embodiments, in the fourth operating state, the bottom edge 202 of the waist belt 2 is detachably connected to the carrying bag piece 1 via a second positioning mechanism 16. The second positioning mechanism 16 is used to hold the baby carrier 100 in the fourth operating state, so that the carrying bag piece 1 provides safe and stable support for the baby.

[0146] There are many implementations of the second positioning mechanism 16. Referring to Figures 16 and 17, in some embodiments, the second positioning mechanism 16 may include a first zipper 161, a second zipper 162, and a zipper head 163. The first zipper 161 may be located on the inner side 12 of the back pocket panel 1, and the second zipper 162 may be located on the bottom edge 202 of the waist belt 2. The first zipper 161 and the second zipper 162 are detachably connected by the zipper head 163. The distance L3 between the first zipper 161 and the bottom edge 102 of the back pocket panel 1 (which is also the top edge 201 of the waist belt 2) is not less than the distance L4 between the top edge 201 and the bottom edge 202 of the waist belt 2. In addition, a visor 164 for covering the first zipper 161 is also provided on the back pocket panel 1. The visor 164 can prevent discomfort caused by direct contact between the zipper structure and infants. In addition, in some alternative embodiments, the first zipper 161 may be located, for example, on the outer side 11 of the back pocket panel 1. In addition, in some alternative embodiments, the second positioning mechanism 16 may be implemented in various ways, such as including, but not limited to, Velcro, snaps, or magnetic adsorption elements that cooperate with each other.

[0147] The baby carrier 100 provided in the first aspect of the present invention includes a carrying pad 1 and a waist belt 2, wherein the bottom of the carrying pad 1 is selectively connected to the waist belt 2 to adjust the seating height provided by the carrying pad 1 and / or the effective length of the carrying pad 1. Thus, the baby carrier 100 can adapt to the seating needs of infants and toddlers at different stages of growth.

[0148] [Fifth Embodiment]

[0149] Referring to Figures 18 to 23, the structure of a baby carrier 100 according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention is illustrated. Similar to the first to fourth embodiments described above, the baby carrier 100 includes a carrying bag 1, a waist belt 2, two shoulder straps 3, etc.

[0150] Referring to Figures 18 and 19, the baby carrier 1 is, for example, sheet-like, comprising two opposite surfaces: an outer surface 11 and an inner surface 12. When the baby carrier 100 is worn by a caregiver, the outer surface 11 is substantially opposite to the caregiver, and the inner surface 12 is substantially facing the caregiver. The baby carrier 1 is generally made of fabric, but the material of the baby carrier 1 is not limited to fabric. In some embodiments, the baby carrier 1 may be made of a single layer of fabric, with the outer surface 11 and the inner surface 12 being two opposite surfaces of that single layer of fabric. In other embodiments, the baby carrier 1 may comprise one or more layers of fabric; this embodiment uses two layers of fabric as an example. The fabric layer containing the outer surface 11 and the fabric layer containing the inner surface 12 may be made of the same material or different materials to balance the durability of the baby carrier 1 with the softness and comfort of the area where the baby carrier 1 contacts the infant. In some embodiments, an inner liner may be filled between the outer side 11 and the inner side 12. The inner liner may be made of a common resin cotton material, or a soft filling such as a sponge. The inner liner can provide a cushioning effect.

[0151] Referring to Figure 18, the carrier 1 has a top 1a and a bottom 1b that are opposite each other. The top 1a has a top edge 101 that corresponds to the baby's head. For smaller babies, when the carrier 1 is located at the baby's back, the baby is suited to sit in the carrier 1 facing the caregiver (backward), and the top edge 101 may be close to the back of the baby's head. For older toddlers, when the carrier 1 is located at the toddler's chest, the toddler is suited to sit in the carrier 1 facing away from the caregiver (forward), and the top edge 101 may be located under the toddler's armpits. The bottom 1b is used to connect to the waist belt 2 and to support the baby's buttocks.

[0152] Figures 20 to 23 illustrate front views and corresponding partial sectional views of the baby carrier 100 in different working states. The waist belt 2 is selectively connected to the carrying bag 1, providing different working states for the baby carrier 100. In different working states, the baby carrier 100 has different shapes, thus adapting to the riding needs of infants and toddlers at different stages. When in use, the waist belt 2 forms a closed loop and wraps around the caregiver's waist to distribute the infant's weight to the caregiver's waist. According to relevant technology, the length of the waist belt 2 is adjustable to fit the caregiver's waist size. In some embodiments, the waist belt 2 may be equipped with a buckle 6, which facilitates the caregiver's putting on and taking off the waist belt 2 through a snap-on or unlocking mechanism. Referring to Figure 20, in some embodiments, the buckle 6 may include a male buckle 61 and a female buckle 62. The male buckle 61 is adjustablely disposed at one end of the waist belt 2, and the female buckle 62 is disposed at the other end of the waist belt 2. The male buckle 61 and the female buckle 62 are detachably snapped together. In some alternative embodiments, the buckle 6 may also have other implementations. In addition, in some alternative embodiments, the belt 2 can also adjust its length in other ways, for example, by using a buckle or a loop fastener in conjunction with the webbing to adjust its length.

[0153] Referring to Figure 20, the first ends of the two shoulder straps 3 are connected to the left and right ends of the top edge 101 of the back pocket 1 at intervals. The second ends of the two shoulder straps 3 are wrapped upwards over the caregiver's shoulders and then extend downwards and forwards to be detachably connected to the left and right sides of the back pocket 1 via buckles 5. In some embodiments, two upwardly extending connecting ears 13 are provided on both sides of the back pocket 1, and the two shoulder straps 3 are detachably connected to the two connecting ears 13 via buckles 5.

[0154] As shown in Figure 20, in some embodiments, the buckle 5 includes, for example, a matching male buckle 51 and a female buckle 52. For instance, the second ends of the two shoulder straps 3 are each provided with a male buckle 51, and the outer sides of the two connecting ears 13 are each provided with a female buckle 52. The corresponding shoulder straps 3 and connecting ears 13 are detachably connected via the male buckle 51 and the female buckle 52. By placing the female buckle 52 on the outer side of the connecting ear 13, the buckle 5 can be prevented from directly pressing against the infant. Furthermore, the connecting ears 13 extend obliquely upwards, receiving force along the extension direction of each shoulder strap 3, which also helps the carrying bag 1 fit snugly against the infant. In some embodiments, the shoulder straps 3 cross over the caregiver's back and are connected to the connecting ears 13 on the opposite side via the buckle 5. In some alternative embodiments, the two shoulder straps 3 can be connected directly to the connecting ears 13 on the same side via the buckle 5 without crossing over the caregiver's back.

[0155] Referring to Figures 20 and 22, in some embodiments, the carrying bag 1 includes a main body portion 10a and a first channel portion 131 located at the bottom of the main body portion 10a, through which the waist belt 2 is adapted to pass. Referring to Figure 20, the first channel portion 131 can be unfolded relative to the main body portion 10a of the carrying bag 1, which corresponds to a first working state of the baby carrier 100. As will be described below, the baby carrier 100 is suitable for older toddlers in its first working state. Referring to Figure 22, the first channel portion 131 can be folded relative to the main body portion 10a of the carrying bag 1, which corresponds to a second working state of the baby carrier 100. As will be described below, the baby carrier 100 is suitable for younger infants in its second working state.

[0156] Referring to Figures 18 and 19, in some embodiments, a second prompting portion 72 is provided on the outer side 1311 (the outer side 1311 is part of the outer side 11) of the first pipe portion 131, for example near the top edge 1301 of the first pipe portion 131. A third prompting portion 73 is provided on the inner side 1312 (the inner side 1312 is part of the inner side 12) of the first pipe portion 131, for example near the bottom edge of the first pipe portion 131, that is, the bottom edge 102 of the back pocket piece 1. The second prompting portion 72 and the third prompting portion 73 are spaced apart from each other in the height direction H of the back pocket piece 1. Referring to Figures 20 and 22, a first prompting portion 71 is provided on the outer side 21 of the waist belt 2, the first prompting portion 71 being near the top edge 201 of the waist belt 2. The working status of the baby carrier 100 is indicated by the correspondence between the first prompting part 71 and the second prompting part 72 or the third prompting part 73, thereby helping caregivers quickly adjust the baby carrier 100 to a suitable working state according to the infant's body shape. It should be noted that the waist belt 2, in normal use, generally has a defined outer side 21 and an inner side 22. For example, in some embodiments, the side of the waist belt 2 connected to the female buckle 62 via webbing is the outer side 21, and the other side of the waist belt 2 is the inner side 22. Thus, when the male buckle 61 and the female buckle 62 are engaged, the waist belt 2 in normal use has a portion sandwiched between the buckle 6 and the caregiver's body, preventing the buckle 6 from directly pressing against the caregiver.

[0157] Referring to Figures 20 and 21, when the baby carrier 100 is worn by the caregiver in its first working state, the first tube portion 131 unfolds relative to the main body portion 10a of the carrier piece 1, and the waist belt 2 passes through the first tube portion 131. The first prompting portion 71 on the outer side 21 of the waist belt 2 faces the second prompting portion 72 on the outer side 1311 of the first tube portion 131. Since the main body portion 10a of the carrier piece 1 is not sandwiched between the waist belt 2 and the caregiver, the carrier piece 1 has a relatively long effective usage length L5. This effective usage length L5 is matched to the body size of larger children, and the baby carrier 100 is suitable for larger children to ride in at this time.

[0158] Referring to Figures 22 and 23, when the baby carrier 100 is worn on a caregiver in its second working state, the first tube portion 131 is folded relative to the main body portion 10a of the carrier piece 1, such that the outer side 1311 of the first tube portion 131 faces the caregiver, and the inner side 1312 faces away from the caregiver. The waist belt 2 passes through the first tube portion 131, and the first indication portion 71 on the outer side 21 of the waist belt 2 faces the third indication portion 73 on the inner side 1312 of the first tube portion 131. Because the main body portion 10a of the carrier piece 1 has a portion that is held between the waist belt 2 and the caregiver (i.e., the first tube portion 131 presses against the main body portion 10a), the carrier piece 1 has a shorter effective use length L6. This effective use length L6 is matched to the body size of smaller infants to increase the infant's sitting height without posing a potential suffocation risk to the infant, and the baby carrier 100 is then suitable for smaller infants to ride in.

[0159] The first prompting section 71, the second prompting section 72, and the third prompting section 73 may be, for example, but not limited to, patterns, text, color blocks, or any combination thereof, as long as they help the caregiver quickly determine the working status of the baby carrier 100 through the correspondence between the first prompting section 71 and the second prompting section 72 or the third prompting section 73. In some embodiments, the first prompting section 71 may be, for example, an arrow pattern, the second prompting section 72 may be, for example, a color block (e.g., white), and the third prompting section 73 may be, for example, a color block (e.g., purple). In some alternative embodiments, the first prompting section 71 may be, for example, an arrow pattern, and the second prompting section 72 and the third prompting section 73 may be, for example, text, such as "large" and "small".

[0160] It should be noted that the effective length of the carrying pad 1, for example, refers to the length between the bottom 1b of the carrying pad 1 and the top edge 101 of the carrying pad 1 when the waist belt 2 is wrapped around the caregiver's waist and the infant is sitting in the infant carrier 100, where the separation point from the caregiver's abdomen is relative to the top edge 201 of the carrying pad 1. In the first working state shown in FIG. 20 and the second working state shown in FIG. 22, the separation point of the bottom 1b of the carrying pad 1 from the caregiver's abdomen is close to the top edge 201 of the waist belt 2. In addition, although the carrying pad 1 shown in FIG. 20 and FIG. 22 is a planar figure, it can be understood that when the infant is sitting in the infant carrier 100, the carrying pad 1 will form a sling shape under the infant's weight to hold the infant, and the bottom 1b of the carrying pad 1 begins to bend after separating from the caregiver's abdomen, forming a sling bottom to hold the infant's buttocks.

[0161] Referring to Figures 20 and 22, the width of the main body portion 10a of the baby carrier 1 may not be uniform. This means that when the baby carrier 100 is in its first and second working states, the effective usable width of the bottom 1b of the baby carrier 1 is not equal, to better accommodate the body shape needs of infants and toddlers. For example, when the waist belt 2 is wrapped around the caregiver's waist and the infant is seated in the baby carrier 100, the effective usable width of the bottom 1b of the baby carrier 1 is the distance in the left-right direction S at the point where the bottom 1b of the baby carrier 1 separates from the caregiver's abdomen. It can be understood that the effective usable width of the bottom 1b of the baby carrier 1 corresponds to the distance the baby carrier 1 separates the infant's legs. In the first working state shown in Figure 20, the baby carrier 1 has an effective usable width S1; in the second working state shown in Figure 22, the baby carrier 1 has an effective usable width S2, which is smaller than the effective usable width S1.

[0162] The first pipe section 131 and the waist belt 2 can be detachably connected via the positioning mechanism 17. The positioning mechanism 17 is used to limit the relative position of the first pipe section 131 and the waist belt 2, so as to avoid the waist belt 2 and the first pipe section 131 sliding relative to each other, which would make it difficult to observe the correspondence between the first prompting section 71 and the second prompting section 72 or the third prompting section 73.

[0163] Referring to Figures 21 and 23, in some embodiments, the positioning mechanism 17 includes, for example, snaps 171 and 173 mounted on the first conduit portion 131 and opposite to each other, and a snap 172 mounted on the waist belt 2. Referring to Figure 21, when the baby carrier 100 is in a first working state, snap 172 can engage with snap 171. Referring to Figure 23, when the baby carrier 100 is in a second working state, snap 172 can engage with snap 173. Of course, the implementation of the positioning mechanism 17 is not limited to the examples above. For example, the positioning mechanism 17 may include magnetic snaps mounted on the first conduit portion 131 and the waist belt 2, or it may include a buttonhole provided on the first conduit portion 131 and a button mounted on the waist belt 2.

[0164] It should be noted that, although in the above embodiments, the second prompting part 72 is located near the top edge 1301 of the first pipe part 131, the third prompting part 73 is located near the bottom edge of the first pipe part 131, and the first prompting part 71 is located near the top edge 201 of the belt 2, in actual applications, the positions of the first prompting part 71 to the third prompting part 73 are not limited to the above description. For example, in some alternative embodiments, the second prompting part 72 is located near the bottom edge of the first pipe part 131, the third prompting part 73 is located near the top edge 1301 of the first pipe part 131, and the first prompting part 71 is located near the bottom edge 202 of the belt 2. Furthermore, in some alternative embodiments, the first prompting part 71 may be located, for example, at a suitable position on the inner side 22 of the belt 2, the second prompting part 72 may be located on the inner side 1312 of the first pipe part 131, and the third prompting part 73 may be located on the outer side 1311 of the first pipe part 131. In this first operating state, the first tube section 131 is unfolded relative to the main body 10a of the back pocket panel 1, and the first prompting section 71 faces the second prompting section 72 located on the inner side 1312 of the first tube section 131. In the second operating state, the first tube section 131 is folded relative to the main body 10a of the back pocket panel 1, the outer side 1311 of the first tube section 131 faces the caregiver, and the first prompting section 71 faces the third prompting section 73 located on the outer side 1311 of the first tube section 131.

[0165] [Sixth Embodiment]

[0166] Figures 24 and 25 illustrate a front view and a rear view of a baby carrier 100 according to a sixth embodiment of the present invention. The baby carrier 100 is a variation of the fifth embodiment shown in Figures 18 to 23, and its main difference from the fifth embodiment lies in the placement of the first prompting portion 71 to the third prompting portion 73. Unless otherwise specified, the structure of the baby carrier 100 can be referred to the description in the fifth embodiment described above; the following mainly describes the differences between this example and the fifth embodiment.

[0167] Referring to Figure 24, a first prompting part 71 is provided on the outer side 1311 of the first pipe section 131, near the top edge 1301 of the first pipe section 131. The first prompting part 71 protrudes, for example, from the left edge of the first pipe section 131. A second prompting part 72 is provided on the outer side 21 of the waist belt 2, near the top edge 201 of the waist belt 2. A third prompting part 73 is provided on the inner side 22 (see Figure 2) of the waist belt 2, near the bottom edge 202 of the waist belt 2. The second prompting part 72 and the third prompting part 73 are spaced apart in the height direction of the waist belt 2 (that is, the height direction H of the back pocket piece 1).

[0168] When the baby carrier 100 is in its first working state, the first tube portion 131 unfolds relative to the main body portion 10a of the carrying bag 1, and the waist belt 2 passes through the first tube portion 131. At this time, the first prompting portion 71 and the second prompting portion 72 correspond. When the baby carrier 100 is worn on the caregiver in its first working state, the main body portion 10a of the carrying bag 1 is not sandwiched between the waist belt 2 and the caregiver, and the carrying bag 1 has a relatively long effective use length L5. This effective use length L5 is matched to the body size of larger children, and the baby carrier 100 is suitable for larger children to ride in at this time.

[0169] Referring to Figure 25, when the baby carrier 100 is in its second working state, the first tube portion 131 is folded relative to the main body portion 10a of the carrying bag 1, such that the outer side 1311 of the first tube portion 131 faces the caregiver, and the inner side 1312 faces away from the caregiver, with the waist belt 2 passing through the first tube portion 131. At this time, the first prompt portion 71 and the third prompt portion 73 correspond. When the baby carrier 100 is worn on the caregiver in its second working state, the main body portion 10a of the carrying bag 1 has a portion that is held between the waist belt 2 and the caregiver (that is, the first tube portion 131 presses against the main body portion 10a), and the carrying bag 1 has a shorter effective use length L6. This effective use length L6 is matched to the body size of a smaller baby, and the baby carrier 100 is suitable for a smaller baby to ride in.

[0170] Of course, the positions of the first prompting part 71, the second prompting part 72, and the third prompting part 73 on the first pipe part 131 and the waist belt 2 are not limited to the examples described above. Anything that can help the caregiver quickly determine the working state of the baby carrier 100, so that the caregiver can determine whether the working state of the baby carrier 100 needs to be adjusted according to the needs of the infant being cared for, is acceptable. For example, in some alternative embodiments, the first prompting part 71 can be located on the inner side of the first pipe part 131, the second prompting part 72 can be located on the inner side 22 of the waist belt 2, and the third prompting part 73 can be located on the outer side 21 of the waist belt 2.

[0171] [Seventh Embodiment]

[0172] Figures 26 to 28 illustrate exploded views and front views of a baby carrier 100 according to a seventh embodiment of the present invention in different working states. The baby carrier 100 includes a carrying bag 1, a waist belt 2, two shoulder straps 3, etc. Unless otherwise specified, the structure of each component of the baby carrier 100 and the connection relationship between the components can be referred to the descriptions in the fifth and sixth embodiments described above. The following mainly describes the differences between the baby carrier 100 of this embodiment and the baby carrier 100 of the fifth and sixth embodiments described above.

[0173] Referring to Figure 26, the bottom 1b of the back pocket piece 1 is provided with a second channel section 132. The second channel section 132 has the same function as the first channel section 131 in the fifth and sixth embodiments described above, both for the waist belt 2 to pass through. The second channel section 132 is provided with a first positioning member 1501 and two first adjusting members 1502. The first positioning member 1501 is located in the middle of the second channel section 132, and the two first adjusting members 1502 are located at both ends of the second channel section 132. The waist belt 2 is provided with a second positioning member 251 and four second adjusting members 252. The second positioning member 251 is located in the middle of the four second adjusting members 252, and the four second adjusting members 252 are located at both ends of the second channel section 132 in pairs. The first positioning member 1501 is used to detachably connect with the second positioning member 251, and the two first adjusting members 1502 are used to selectively connect with the four second adjusting members 252.

[0174] Figure 27 shows a front view of the baby carrier 100 in its first working state. Referring to Figures 26 and 27, the waist belt 2 passes through the second channel 132, the first positioning member 1501 and the second positioning member 251 engage, and the two first adjusting members 1502 engage with the two outermost second adjusting members 252 respectively. At this time, the second channel 132 is fully extended, providing a wider effective width for the bottom 1b of the carrying bag 1, which is approximately equal to the width S3 of the second channel 132. Figure 28 shows a front view of the baby carrier 100 in its second working state, which differs from the first working state in that the two first adjusting members 1502 are connected with the two innermost second adjusting members 252 respectively. At this time, the second channel 132 is retracted, providing a narrower effective width for the bottom 1b of the carrying bag 1, which is approximately equal to the retracted width S4 of the second channel 132. The effective width S4 is smaller than the effective width S3. It is understandable that when the baby carrier 100 is worn on the caregiver in its first working state, the wider effective width S3 is suitable for older toddlers. When the baby carrier 100 is worn on the caregiver in its second working state, the narrower effective width S4 is suitable for smaller infants.

[0175] It should be noted that although the above embodiments use one first positioning member 1501, two first adjusting members 1502, one second positioning member 251, and four second adjusting members 252 as examples, in actual applications, their numbers are not limited to the examples described above. For example, in some alternative embodiments, the number of first positioning members 1501 and second positioning members 251 can be two or more each, the number of first adjusting members 1502 located on the same side of the first positioning member 1501 can be two or more, and the number of second adjusting members 252 located on the same side of the second positioning member 251 can be three or more. It can be understood that by reasonably setting the number and position of the first adjusting members 1502 and second adjusting members 252, and selectively connecting the first adjusting members 1502 and the second adjusting members 252, the bottom 1b of the carrying bag piece 1 can provide two or more effective usable widths. Accordingly, the baby carrier 100 has two or more working states, so that the baby carrier 100 can better adapt to the riding needs of infants and toddlers of various body types.

[0176] [Eighth Embodiment]

[0177] Figures 29 to 31 illustrate exploded views and front views of a baby carrier 100 according to an eighth embodiment of the present invention in different working states. The baby carrier 100 includes a carrying bag 1, a waist belt 2, two shoulder straps 3, etc. Unless otherwise specified, the structure of each component of the baby carrier 100 and the connection relationship between the components can be referred to the descriptions in the fifth to seventh embodiments described above. The following mainly describes the differences between the baby carrier 100 of this embodiment and the baby carrier 100 of the fifth to seventh embodiments described above.

[0178] Referring to Figure 29, the bottom 1b of the back pocket panel 1 does not have a tube for the waist belt 2 to pass through. Two first connectors 45 are provided on the left side of the back pocket panel 1, arranged sequentially in the height direction H of the back pocket panel 1. Two second connectors 46 are provided on the right side of the bottom 1b of the back pocket panel 1, arranged sequentially in the height direction H of the back pocket panel 1. The waist belt 2 is not a single continuous connecting belt, but comprises a first part 2a and a second part 2b that are separate from each other. One end of the first part 2a is provided with a third connector 47, which selectively connects to one of the two first connectors 45. One end of the second part 2b is provided with a fourth connector 48, which selectively connects to one of the two second connectors 46. In some embodiments, the other ends of the first part 2a and the second part 2b are detachably connected by a buckle 6. In some alternative embodiments, the belt 2 may include a single connecting strip between the third connector 47 and the fourth connector 48. This connecting strip may be, for example, an elastic band or a webbing with an adjusting buckle (e.g., a D-ring). Of course, the implementation of the belt 2 is not limited to the examples above; the belt 2 may simply have a third connector 47 and a fourth connector 48 that are separate from each other.

[0179] Referring to Figure 30, the third connector 47 is detachably connected to the lower of the two first connectors 45, and the fourth connector 48 is detachably connected to the lower of the two second connectors 46. The first connector 45 connected to the third connector 47 and the second connector 46 connected to the fourth connector 48 are at approximately the same height, corresponding to the first working state of the baby carrier 100. When the baby carrier 100 is worn by the caregiver in the first working state, the carrying bag 1 has a relatively long effective usage length L5. This effective usage length L5 is matched to the body size of larger children, and the baby carrier 100 is suitable for larger children to ride in at this time.

[0180] Referring to Figure 31, the third connector 47 is detachably connected to the uppermost of the two first connectors 45, and the fourth connector 48 is detachably connected to the uppermost of the two second connectors 46. The first connector 45 connected to the third connector 47 and the second connector 46 connected to the fourth connector 48 are at approximately the same height, corresponding to the second working state of the baby carrier 100. When the baby carrier 100 is worn by the caregiver in the second working state, the carrying bag 1 has a shorter effective usage length L6. This effective usage length L6 is matched to the body size of a smaller baby, and the baby carrier 100 is suitable for a smaller baby to ride in.

[0181] As shown in Figures 30 and 31, the width (distance in the left-right direction) between the first connector 45 and the second connector 46 at the same height is approximately equal to the effective usable width of the bottom 1b of the carrying bag 1 at that location. In some embodiments, the width between the first connector 45 and the second connector 46 on the left and right sides of the carrying bag 1 varies with height, thereby providing different effective usable widths for the bottom 1b of the carrying bag 1. For example, the width S6 between the upper first connector 45 and the second connector 46 at the same height is smaller than the width S5 between the lower first connector 45 and the second connector 46 at the same height. Thus, when the baby carrier 100 is worn on the caregiver in its first working state, the carrying bag 1 has a longer effective usable length L5, while the bottom 1b of the carrying bag 1 has a wider effective usable width S5, which is more suitable for the size of larger toddlers. When the baby carrier 100 is worn on the caregiver in its second working state, the carrying bag 1 has a shorter effective length L6 and a narrower effective width S6 at the bottom 1b, which is more suitable for smaller babies.

[0182] Referring to Figure 29, in some embodiments, the first connector 45 and the third connector 47 may be two chain straps that cooperate to form a zipper, with the first connector 45 extending, for example, along the height direction H of the back pocket panel 1. The second connector 46 and the fourth connector 48 may also be two chain straps that cooperate to form a zipper, with the second connector 46 extending, for example, along the height direction H of the back pocket panel 1. Of course, the implementation of the first to fourth connectors is not limited to a zipper; they can be detachably connected. For example, in some alternative embodiments, the first connector 45 and the third connector 47 may be mutually cooperating snaps or Velcro, and the second connector 46 and the fourth connector 48 may be mutually cooperating snaps or Velcro.

[0183] Referring to Figure 31, in some embodiments, when the third connector 47 and the fourth connector 48 of the waist belt 2 are connected to the non-bottom first connector 45 and the second connector 46, the carrying bag panel 1 located below the waist belt 2 can be folded upwards relative to itself. In some embodiments, the carrying bag panel 1 may also include a positioning mechanism 18 for holding the carrying bag panel 1 in a folded state, which is beneficial to the neat appearance of the baby carrier 100.

[0184] Referring again to Figure 31, in some embodiments, the positioning mechanism 18 may include at least one positioning element 181 and at least one positioning element 182. When the third connector 47 and the fourth connector 48 of the belt 2 are connected to the non-bottom first connector 45 and the second connector 46, the bottom edge 102 of the back pocket piece 1 can be folded upwards, allowing the positioning elements 181 and 182 to be detachably connected. In some embodiments, the positioning element 181 is located above the positioning element 182 and between the upper first connector 45 and the second connector 46, while the positioning element 182 is located, for example, between the lower first connector 45 and the second connector 46. The positioning elements 181 and 182 are, for example, but not limited to, Velcro, snaps, magnetic adsorption elements, etc. Of course, in some alternative embodiments, the positioning mechanism 18 may also have other implementations.

[0185] It should be noted that although the number of first connectors 45 and second connectors 46 is two in the above embodiments, in practical applications, the number of first connectors 45 and second connectors 46 is not limited to two; it can also be three or more. Multiple first connectors 45 and multiple second connectors 46 are arranged sequentially in the height direction H of the carrying bag 1. A third connector 47 is selectively connected to one of the multiple first connectors 45, and a fourth connector 48 is selectively connected to one of the multiple second connectors 46. In this way, the baby carrier 100 has two or more working states, which can better adapt to the riding needs of infants and toddlers of various sizes.

[0186] [Ninth Embodiment]

[0187] Figures 32 to 36 illustrate the structure of a baby carrier 100 according to a ninth embodiment of the present invention. The baby carrier 100 includes a carrying bag 1, a waist belt 2, two shoulder straps 3, etc. Unless otherwise specified, the structure of each component of the baby carrier 100 and the connection relationship between the components can be referred to the descriptions in the fifth to eighth embodiments described above. The following mainly describes the differences between the baby carrier 100 of this embodiment and the baby carrier 100 of the fifth to eighth embodiments described above.

[0188] Referring to Figures 32 and 33, two tube sections are stacked on the bottom 1b of the carrying bag piece 1: a third tube section 133 and a fourth tube section 134, meaning that the third tube section 133 and the fourth tube section 134 are at the same height. In some embodiments, the third tube section 133 is located outside the fourth tube section 134, and the length S8 of the third tube section 133 is greater than the length S7 of the fourth tube section 134. The waist belt 2 is selectively threaded through the third tube section 133 or the fourth tube section 134 to allow the baby carrier 100 to be in different working states.

[0189] Referring to Figure 34, the waist belt 2 is threaded through the third tube section 133. The third tube section 133 and the fourth tube section 134 are unfolded relative to the main body portion 10a of the carrying bag piece 1, which corresponds to the first working state of the baby carrier 100. When the baby carrier 100 is worn on the caregiver in the first working state, the main body portion 10a of the carrying bag piece 1 is not sandwiched between the waist belt 2 and the caregiver, and the carrying bag piece 1 has a relatively long effective usable length L5. At the same time, the effective usable width of the bottom 1b of the carrying bag piece 1 is approximately equal to the length S8 of the third tube section 133. The baby carrier 100 is suitable for older toddlers to ride in at this time.

[0190] Referring to Figure 35, the waist belt 2 is threaded through the fourth tube section 134. The third tube section 133 and the fourth tube section 134 are unfolded relative to the main body portion 10a of the carrying bag panel 1, which corresponds to the second working state of the baby carrier 100. When the baby carrier 100 is worn on the caregiver in the second working state, the carrying bag panel 1 has a longer effective usable length L5, and the effective usable width of the bottom 1b of the carrying bag panel 1 is approximately equal to the length S7 of the fourth tube section 134. The baby carrier 100 is then suitable for smaller infants to ride in.

[0191] Referring to Figure 36, the waist belt 2 is threaded through the fourth tube section 134. The third tube section 133 and the fourth tube section 134 are folded relative to the main body portion 10a of the carrying bag 1, such that the outer side 1331 of the third tube section 133 (see Figure 33, the outer side 1331 is part of the outer side 11) faces the caregiver, and the inner side 1342 of the fourth tube section 134 (see Figure 33, the inner side 1342 is part of the inner side 12) faces away from the caregiver. This corresponds to the third working state of the baby carrier 100. When the baby carrier 100 is worn on the caregiver in the third working state, the main body portion 10a of the carrying bag 1 has a portion that is held between the waist belt 2 and the caregiver, and the carrying bag 1 has a shorter effective length L7. At the same time, the effective width of the bottom 1b of the carrying bag 1 is less than the length S8 of the third tube section 133. The baby carrier 100 is also suitable for smaller infants to ride in at this time.

[0192] Referring to Figures 32 to 36, the waist belt 2 and the pipe sections it passes through are detachably connected by a positioning mechanism 19. The positioning mechanism 19 is used to define the relative position of the waist belt 2 and the pipe sections it passes through, preventing the waist belt 2 from sliding relative to the pipe sections and causing inconvenience in operation. In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 32, the positioning mechanism 19 may include positioning members 191 mounted on the walls of each pipe section and positioning members 192 mounted on the waist belt 2, with positioning members 191 and 192 detachably engaged. In some embodiments, positioning members 191 and 192 may be, for example, but not limited to, snaps, magnetic buckles, or Velcro that cooperate with each other.

[0193] It should be noted that, although the above embodiment uses the example of two overlapping pipe sections (third pipe section 133 and fourth pipe section 134) on the bottom 1b of the carrying bag piece 1, it can be understood that in actual applications, the bottom 1b of the carrying bag piece 1 can have three or more overlapping pipe sections, and the length of these pipe sections increases or decreases sequentially in the direction from the outer side 11 to the inner side 12 of the carrying bag piece 1. The waist belt 2 is selectively threaded through one of the multiple pipe sections to allow the baby carrier 100 to have multiple working states.

[0194] [Tenth Embodiment]

[0195] Figures 37 and 38 illustrate the structure of a baby carrier 100 according to a tenth embodiment of the present invention. The baby carrier 100 includes a carrying bag 1, a waist belt 2, two shoulder straps 3, etc. Unless otherwise specified, the structure of each component of the baby carrier 100 and the connection relationship between the components can be referred to the descriptions in the fifth to ninth embodiments described above. The following mainly describes the differences between the baby carrier 100 of this embodiment and the baby carrier 100 of the fifth to ninth embodiments described above.

[0196] Referring to Figures 37 and 38, the bottom 1b of the baby carrier 1 is provided with at least two laterally extending channels 130, which are sequentially arranged in the height direction H. The waist belt 2 selectively passes through one of the at least two channels 130 to allow the baby carrier 100 to have different working states. It can be understood that the higher the waist belt 2 is inserted into the channel 130, the shorter the effective usable length L of the baby carrier 1.

[0197] In some embodiments, when the waist belt 2 is threaded through a non-bottomed channel 130, the portion of the back pocket panel 1 located below the waist belt 2 can be folded upwards relative to the back pocket panel 1 itself. Referring to FIG. 38, the back pocket panel 1 may also include a positioning mechanism 15 for holding the back pocket panel 1 in a folded state. The positioning mechanism 15 may, for example, include positioning members 151 and 152 detachably connected. Positioning members 151 and 152 are, for example, spaced apart from each other in the height direction on the inner side surface 12 of the back pocket panel 1. When the waist belt 2 is threaded through a non-bottomed channel 130, the bottom edge 102 of the back pocket panel 1 is folded upwards, making the positioning members 151 and 152 detachably connected. Positioning members 151 and 152 are, for example, but not limited to, Velcro, snaps, magnetic adsorption elements, etc. In alternative embodiments, the positioning mechanism 15 may also have other implementations.

[0198] Referring again to Figures 37 and 38, the belt 2 is detachably connected to the channel 130 through which it passes, for example, via a positioning mechanism 15a. The positioning mechanism 15a defines the relative position of the belt 2 and the channel 130 through which it passes, preventing the belt 2 from sliding relative to the channel 130 and causing inconvenience. In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 37 and 38, the positioning mechanism 15a may include a positioning element 15a1 mounted on the wall of each channel 130 and a positioning element 15a2 mounted on the belt 2, the positioning elements 15a1 and 15a2 being detachably connected. In some embodiments, the positioning elements 15a1 and 15a2 are, for example, but not limited to, snaps, magnetic buckles, or Velcro that cooperate with each other. The positioning element 15a1 can be installed at any suitable position in the channel 130, including but not limited to the middle and end positions of the channel 130.

[0199] [Eleventh Embodiment]

[0200] Figures 39 to 43 illustrate the structure of a baby carrier 100 according to the eleventh embodiment of the present invention. The baby carrier 100 includes a carrying bag 1, a waist belt 2, two shoulder straps 3, etc. Unless otherwise specified, the structure of each component of the baby carrier 100 and the connection relationship between the components can be referred to the descriptions in the fifth to tenth embodiments described above. The following mainly describes the differences between the baby carrier 100 of this embodiment and the baby carrier 100 of the fifth to tenth embodiments described above.

[0201] Referring to the front view of the baby carrier 100 shown in Figure 39, each shoulder strap 3 is provided with a male buckle 51, and two female buckles 52 are provided on the left and right sides of the carrying bag 1. The male buckle 51 is adapted to be detachably connected to the corresponding female buckle 52 to allow the shoulder straps 3 to form a closed loop. In some embodiments, the two female buckles 52 can be fixed to the appropriate height of the side edges of the main body portion 10a of the carrying bag 1, for example, by a strip 521 or other suitable structure. The connecting ears 13 described above can be omitted on both sides of the carrying bag 1. The bottom 1b of the main body portion 10a of the carrying bag 1 has a tube portion 135, through which the waist belt 2 is adapted to pass. In some embodiments, the waist belt 2 can be configured with a buckle 6, which allows the caregiver to easily put on and take off the waist belt 2 by means of a snap or release buckle 6.

[0202] When the baby carrier is worn on the caregiver as shown in Figure 39, the buckle 6 is fastened so that the waist belt 2 is wrapped around the caregiver's waist, the male buckle 51 and female buckle 52 are fastened so that the shoulder strap 3 is hung on the caregiver's shoulders, and the tube section 135 is unfolded relative to the main body 10a of the carrying bag 1, with the portion of the main body 10a located between the two female buckles 52 fully unfolded. This corresponds to the first working state of the baby carrier 100. At this time, since the main body 10a of the carrying bag 1 is not clamped between the waist belt 2 and the caregiver, the carrying bag 1 has a longer effective use length L5 and a wider effective use width S9, which is approximately equal to the distance between the two side edges of the carrying bag 1 at the two female buckles 52. This effective use length L5 and effective use width S9 are matched to the body size of larger toddlers, and the baby carrier 100 is now suitable for larger toddlers to ride in.

[0203] Referring to the rear view of the baby carrier 100 shown in Figure 40, the inner side 12 of the carrier piece 1 is provided with a limiting member 13a. The two female buckles 52 change the lateral distance between them through the limiting member, thereby adjusting the distance between the left and right sides of the carrier piece 1. In this embodiment, the limiting member includes, for example, a pair of limiting elements. More specifically, the pair of limiting elements is exemplified by a pair of loops 13a, which are spaced apart between the two female buckles 52. Referring to Figure 41, each female buckle 52 can pass through adjacent loops 13a, thereby shortening the lateral distance between the two female buckles 52 and the lateral distance between the left and right sides of the carrier piece 1. When the baby carrier is worn by the caregiver in the state shown in Figure 41, the carrier piece 1 has a longer effective length L5 and a narrower effective width S10, which is approximately equal to the lateral distance between the pair of loops 13a. This corresponds to the second working state of the baby carrier 100, in which the baby carrier 100 is adapted for use by slender infants and toddlers.

[0204] It should be noted that in some embodiments, the number of loops 13a on the carrying bag piece 1 is not limited to one pair. For example, two or more pairs of loops 13a can be spaced apart between two female buckles 52. Each female buckle 52 is adapted to selectively pass through the corresponding loop 13a in any pair of loops 13a, so as to change the left and right distance between the two female buckles 52 according to the body shape of the infant, thereby changing the distance between the left and right sides of the carrying bag piece 1. In addition, in some embodiments, the position of the loops 13a is not limited to the inner side 12 of the carrying bag piece 1. For example, the loops 13a can be set on the outer side 11 of the carrying bag piece 1, or the loops 13a can be set on both the inner side 12 and the outer side 11 of the carrying bag piece 1. In other embodiments, the carrying bag piece 1 may not be provided with loops 13a, but the distance between the left and right sides of the carrying bag piece 1 can be adjusted by other limiting components. Specifically, a pair of first limiting members (such as male snaps) can be provided on the inner side 12 of the back pocket piece 1, and a pair of second limiting members (such as female snaps) can also be provided on the strip 521 of each female buckle 52. In this way, the distance between the left and right sides of the back pocket piece 1 can be changed by the limiting members (i.e., the first limiting members and the second limiting members), specifically changing the left and right distance between the two female buckles 52.

[0205] Referring to Figures 41 and 42, the waist belt 2 is detachably connected to the pipe section 135, for example, via a positioning mechanism 19a. The positioning mechanism 19a defines the relative position of the waist belt 2 and the pipe section 135, preventing the waist belt 2 from sliding relative to the pipe section 135 and causing inconvenience. In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 42, the positioning mechanism 19a may include a positioning element 19a1 mounted on the wall of the pipe section 135 and a positioning element 19a2 mounted on the waist belt 2, with the positioning elements 19a1 and 19a2 detachably connected. In some embodiments, the positioning elements 19a1 and 19a2 may be, for example, but not limited to, snaps, magnetic buckles, or Velcro that cooperate with each other. In some embodiments, the positioning element 19a1 may be arranged at one or both ends of the pipe section 135, facilitating the caregiver to reach into the pipe section 135 to disengage the positioning elements 19a1 and 19a2. Of course, the location of the positioning element 19a1 is not limited to the end of the pipe section 135.

[0206] Referring to the rear view of the baby carrier 100 shown in Figure 43, after the tube portion 135 is folded relative to the main body portion 10a of the carrying bag 1, the waist belt 2 passes through the tube portion 135, and at the same time, each female buckle 52 passes through the adjacent loop strap 13a. This corresponds to the third working state of the baby carrier 100. When the baby carrier 100 is worn on the caregiver in the third working state, the main body portion 10a of the carrying bag 1 has a portion that is held between the waist belt 2 and the caregiver, and the carrying bag 1 has a shorter effective length L8. At the same time, the carrying bag 1 has a narrower effective width S10. The baby carrier 100 is then suitable for smaller infants to ride in.

[0207] [Second Implementation]

[0208] A second embodiment of the present invention provides a baby carrier, including a carrying panel, a waist belt, and a height adjustment assembly. The carrying panel includes an outer portion and an inner portion that form a seating space for an infant. The outer portion has a first top edge, and connecting straps extending upward are respectively provided at the left and right ends of the first top edge, each connecting strap being provided with a first engaging member. The inner portion has a second top edge, and the bottom of the inner portion and the bottom of the outer portion are joined to form the bottom of the carrying panel, the bottom of the carrying panel being used to support the infant's buttocks. The waist belt is connected to the inner portion. The first ends of two shoulder straps are connected to the second top edge at intervals from each other, and the second ends of the two shoulder straps are respectively connected to the left and right sides of the outer portion. Each shoulder strap is provided with a second engaging member, the second engaging member being detachably engaged with a corresponding first engaging member. The height adjustment assembly is disposed on the inner portion and at least one of the two shoulder straps for changing the height of the second top edge relative to the first top edge. The baby carrier of a third embodiment of the present invention will be specifically described below through several embodiments.

[0209] [Twelfth Embodiment]

[0210] Figures 44 to 51 illustrate a baby carrier 300 according to a twelfth embodiment of the present invention. The baby carrier 300 mainly includes a carrying pad 310, a waist belt 320, two shoulder straps 330, and a height adjustment assembly 345. Figures 44 and 45 show a front view and a side perspective view of the baby carrier 300 worn on a wearer (shown as phallus 9 in the figures) in normal use. When the baby carrier 300 is in normal use, the infant can be safely wrapped in the seating space 340 of the carrying pad 310, allowing the wearer, such as a caregiver, to use their hands freely. In the usage state shown in Figures 44 and 45, the carrying pad 310 wraps around the infant in front of the caregiver's body. According to relevant art, in a usage state not shown, the carrying pad 310 can also wrap around the infant on the caregiver's back. Figures 46 and 49 show a front view of the baby carrier 300 worn on the prosthesis 9 in the open state, at which time the infant can be placed into the carrier 310 or taken out of the carrier 310 through the upper opening of the carrier 310.

[0211] Referring to Figures 45 to 48, the baby carrier 310 includes an outer section 311 and an inner section 312 that form a seating space 340 for an infant. The outer section 311 has a first top edge 3111, and connecting straps 3112 extending upwards are respectively provided at the left and right ends of the first top edge 3111. Each connecting strap 3112 is provided with a first connecting member 3113. The inner section 312 has a second top edge 3121, which is connected to the first ends 331 of the two shoulder straps 330. The bottom of the inner section 312 and the bottom of the outer section 311 are joined together to form the bottom 313 of the baby carrier 310, which supports the infant's buttocks.

[0212] The waist belt 320 is connected to the inner piece 312. When in use, the waist belt 320 wraps around the caregiver's waist to distribute the infant's weight to the caregiver's hips. According to relevant technology, the length of the waist belt 320 is adjustable to fit the caregiver's waist circumference. The waist belt 320 may be equipped with buckles (not shown), which connect the two ends of the waist belt 320 by engaging and locking, and release and detach the two ends of the waist belt 320 by unengaging and releasing, facilitating the caregiver's donning and doffing of the waist belt 320.

[0213] Referring to Figures 45 and 46, the first ends 331 of the two shoulder straps 330 are connected to the second top edge 3121 at intervals. The second ends 332 of the two shoulder straps 330 are wrapped upwards over the caregiver's shoulders and then extend downwards to connect to the left and right sides of the outer panel 311, respectively. Each shoulder strap 330 has a second connecting member 3321 on the front side of the shoulder, which is detachably connected to the corresponding first connecting member 3113, so that the carrying panel 310 forms a pocket-shaped seating space 340. This pocket-shaped seating space 340 ensures both the safety and comfort of the infant. The first connecting member 3113 and the second connecting member 3321 can adopt any suitable structure.

[0214] Referring to Figures 44 and 45, in this embodiment, an auxiliary protective piece 315 may also be provided at the first top edge 3111. The lower edge (not labeled in the figures) of the auxiliary protective piece 315 is connected to the first top edge 3111, and the auxiliary protective piece 315 can be unfolded or folded along its lower edge. Buckles 3151 are provided on both sides of the auxiliary protective piece 315, and upper buckles 3159 and lower buckles 3158 are provided longitudinally along the outer part 311. The buckles 3151 can be selectively fastened to either the upper buckles 3159 or the lower buckles 3158 to provide different usage modes. For example, when the infant is facing the caregiver's chest, the buckles 3151 and the upper buckles 3159 can be fastened, at which time the auxiliary protective piece 315 can support the back of the infant's head. When the infant's back is facing the caregiver's chest, unfasten the straps 3151 and the upper buckle 3159, flip the auxiliary protective plate 315 outward and downward so that the auxiliary protective plate 315 overlaps with the outer plate 311, and then fasten the straps 3151 and the lower buckle 3158 to fix the position of the auxiliary protective plate 315. At this time, the infant's head can be exposed from the first top edge 3111, and the auxiliary protective plate 315 will not obstruct the infant's view.

[0215] Referring to Figure 45, the engagement method of the second ends 332 of the two shoulder straps 330 with the outer piece 311 is also shown. Specifically, after the two shoulder straps 330 cross behind the caregiver, they extend to both sides of the outer piece 311, and the second ends 332 of each shoulder strap 330 are connected to the first buckle 371. Connecting straps 3157 can be provided on both sides of the outer piece 311, and each connecting strap 3157 can be provided with a second buckle 372. The second buckle 372 and the first buckle 371 are detachably engaged, so that the second ends 332 of the shoulder straps 330 are connected to the outer piece 311. In some embodiments, adjustment straps 360 can be connected to both sides of the inner panel 312. Each shoulder strap 330 has a buckle (e.g., a D-ring) 373 at its second end 332. The free end of the adjustment strap 360 passes sequentially through the first buckle 371 and the D-ring 373; that is, each shoulder strap 330 is connected to the first buckle 371 via the D-ring 373 and the adjustment strap 360. As shown in Figure 45, when the first buckle 371 and the second buckle 372 are engaged, a gap is formed between the connecting strap 3157 and the bottom of the carrying bag panel 310, allowing the infant's legs to extend. When the first buckle 371 and the second buckle 372 are disengaged, the second end 332 of the shoulder strap 330 remains connected to the inner panel 312 via the adjustment strap 360, and the shoulder strap 330 remains hanging on the caregiver's shoulder without falling off. Of course, the way in which the second end 332 of each shoulder strap 330 is joined to the outer piece 311 is not limited to the examples above. Other joining methods can be referred to in relevant technologies, which will not be elaborated here.

[0216] Referring to Figures 46 and 49, the first connecting member 3113 and the second connecting member 3321 of the baby carrier 300 separate. Under the action of gravity, the outer portion 311 of the carrying bag 310 and the two connecting straps 3112 fold outward and hang downward, exposing the height adjustment component 345. The height adjustment component 345 is used to change the height of the second top edge 3121 relative to the first top edge 3111. Referring to Figures 47 and 48, it can be understood that when the first connecting member 3113 and the second connecting member 3321 are connected, the height of the first top edge 3111 is fixed. By changing the height of the second top edge 3121 relative to the first top edge 3111, the position of the bottom 313 of the carrying bag 310 (i.e., the infant's sitting height) can be raised or lowered to accommodate infants at different growth stages, while also improving the caregiver's comfort.

[0217] Referring to Figures 46, 49, and 50, in this embodiment, the height adjustment assembly 345 may include a first connector 341 and a first lifting member 351. The first connector 341 is laterally connected between the two shoulder straps 330 and located above the second top edge 3121. The first connector 341 may be a soft or hard strip. In some embodiments, the first connector 341 may be an integral strip with the adjustment strap 360. The adjustment strap 360 is sewn together with the two shoulder straps 330, the portion located between the two shoulder straps forms the first connector 341, and the portion outside the two shoulder straps 330 is used for connection with the first buckle 371 and the D-ring buckle 373. It can be understood that the first connector 341 and the carrying pocket piece 310 are located on the same side of the caregiver (front side in the figure), and more specifically, the first connector 341 is located below the second connecting member 3321. The first end 3511 of the first lifting member 351 is connected to the inner piece 312 and located between the two shoulder straps 330, and the second end 3512 of the first lifting member 351 is detachably engaged with the first connector 341. The first lifting member 351 is, for example, a fabric strap.

[0218] Referring to Figures 44, 48, and 49, when the second end 3512 of the first lifting member 351 is connected to the first connecting member 341, when the infant is sitting in the seating space 340 of the carrier 310, under the lifting action of the first lifting member 351, the portions of each shoulder strap 330 located between the first connecting member 341 and the second top edge 3121 are folded. The second top edge 3121 is raised relative to the first top edge 3111, the distance H2 between the first top edge 3111 and the bottom 313 is smaller, the bottom 313 is raised, and the infant's seating height relative to the caregiver is raised. This allows the neck of a smaller infant to be in a suitable position above the first top edge 3111, making it suitable for smaller infants to sit.

[0219] Conversely, referring to Figures 44, 46, and 47, when the second end 3512 of the first lifting member 351 is separated from the first connecting member 341, when the infant is sitting in the seating space 340 of the carrier 310, the portions of each shoulder strap 330 located between the first connecting member 341 and the second top edge 3121 automatically unfold. The second top edge 3121 descends relative to the first top edge 3111, and the distance H1 between the first top edge 3111 and the bottom 313 is larger. The bottom 313 descends, and the infant's seating height relative to the caregiver is lowered. This allows the neck of larger infants to be in a suitable position above the first top edge 3111, making it suitable for larger infants to sit.

[0220] This embodiment, by setting a height adjustment component 345, can improve the adaptability of the baby carrier 300 to infants and toddlers at different growth stages, and also help reduce the burden on caregivers to purchase baby carriers.

[0221] Referring to Figures 46 and 50, a first positioning element 3401 may be provided on the first connecting member 341, and a second positioning element 3402 may be provided on the second end 3512 of the first lifting member 351. The second positioning element 3402 is detachably engaged with the first positioning element 3401. The first positioning element 3401 and the second positioning element 3402 may be Velcro, magnetic, or snap fasteners that cooperate with each other. Alternatively, one of the first positioning element 3401 and the second positioning element 3402 may be a buttonhole, and the other may be a button or hook that cooperates with the buttonhole. Of course, in some embodiments, for example, the first lifting member 351 may be directly tied to the first connecting member 341 to change the height of the second top edge relative to the first top edge.

[0222] Referring to Figure 50, the first connector 341 has an outer side 341a and an inner side 341b. The outer side 341a faces away from the caregiver's body, and the inner side 341b faces the caregiver's body. In this embodiment, the first positioning member 3401 may include a first Velcro 3411 disposed on the inner side 341b of the first connector 341. The second positioning member 3402 may include a second Velcro 3422. When it is necessary to raise the second top edge 3121, the second end 3512 of the first lifting member 351 can be folded inward and downward around the upper edge of the first connector 341, so that the second Velcro 3422 and the first Velcro 3411 are connected to each other. This arrangement of the first Velcro 3411 and the second Velcro 3422 can avoid discomfort caused by direct contact between the Velcro and the infant. In some embodiments, to improve the connection strength between the first lifting member 351 and the first connecting member 341, the first positioning member 3401 may further include a third Velcro 3413 disposed on the outer surface 341a of the first connecting member 341, and the second positioning member 3402 may further include a fourth Velcro 3424. When the first Velcro 3411 and the second Velcro 3422 are connected to each other, the third Velcro 3413 and the fourth Velcro 3424 are connected to each other.

[0223] Figure 51 illustrates a variation of the first embodiment of the present invention, wherein multiple (two or more) second positioning members 3402 are configured, spaced apart in the direction from the second end 3512 of the first lifting member 351 to its first end 3511. By connecting the first positioning member 3401 with different second positioning members 3402, the height of the second top edge 3121 relative to the first top edge 3111 can be adjusted, allowing the baby carrier 300 to provide multiple seating heights and further expanding the applicability of the baby carrier 300.

[0224] [Thirteenth Embodiment]

[0225] Figures 52 and 53 illustrate a baby carrier 300 according to a thirteenth embodiment of the present invention. The main difference between the baby carrier 300 in this embodiment and the twelfth embodiment described above is the implementation of the height adjustment component 345. The similarities or differences between this embodiment and the twelfth embodiment described above will not be described in detail here.

[0226] Referring to Figure 52, the height adjustment assembly 345 may include a second connector 342 and a second lifting member 352. The second connector 342 is laterally connected between the two shoulder straps 330 and located above the second top edge 3121. The second connector 342 may be a soft or rigid strip. In some embodiments, the second connector 342 may be an integral strip with the adjustment strap 360. It is understood that the second connector 342 and the carrying panel 310 are located on the same side of the caregiver (front side in the figure), and more specifically, the second connector 342 is located below the second connecting member 3321. The first end 3521 of the second lifting member 352 is connected to the inner panel 312 and located between the two shoulder straps 330. A third positioning member 3403 and a fourth positioning member 3404 are provided between the first end 3521 and the second end 3522 of the second lifting member 352. The second lifting member 352 may be, for example, a fabric strap.

[0227] Referring to Figure 53, when it is necessary to raise the height of the second top edge 3121 relative to the first top edge 3111, the second end 3522 of the second lifting member 352 is wrapped around the second connecting member 342, so that the fourth positioning member 3404 and the third positioning member 3403 are detachably engaged, and the second lifting member 352 forms an annular sleeve 3520 fitted outside the second connecting member 342. When the infant sits in the seating space 340 of the carrier 310, under the lifting action of the second lifting member 352, the portions of each shoulder strap 330 located between the second connecting member 342 and the second top edge 3121 are folded, the second top edge 3121 is raised relative to the first top edge 3111, and the infant's seating height is increased.

[0228] Conversely, referring to Figure 52, when it is necessary to lower the height of the second top edge 3121 relative to the first top edge 3111, the third positioning member 3403 and the fourth positioning member 3404 are separated. When the infant sits in the seating space 340 of the carrier 310, the portions of each shoulder strap 330 located between the second connector 342 and the second top edge 3121 automatically unfold, and the second top edge 3121 descends relative to the first top edge 3111, thus lowering the infant's seating height.

[0229] Referring to Figures 52 and 53, in this embodiment, multiple third positioning members 3403 are arranged along the longitudinal direction of the second lifting member 352. The fourth positioning member 3404, by connecting with different third positioning members 3403, can adjust the height of the second top edge 3121 relative to the first top edge 3111, allowing the baby carrier 300 to provide multiple seating heights and further expanding its applicability. In other embodiments, multiple fourth positioning members 3404 can be arranged along the longitudinal direction of the second lifting member 352, and the height of the second top edge 3121 can also be adjusted by connecting with different fourth positioning members 3404. In still other embodiments, multiple third and fourth positioning members 3403 can be provided, allowing at least one pair of third and fourth positioning members 3403 and 3404 to connect when the second top edge 3121 is adjusted to a suitable height, helping to ensure the reliability of the lifting of the second lifting member 352.

[0230] The third positioning element 3403 and the fourth positioning element 3404 can be Velcro, magnetic, or snap fasteners that cooperate with each other. Alternatively, one of the third positioning element 3403 and the fourth positioning element 3404 can be a buttonhole, and the other can be a button or hook that cooperates with the buttonhole.

[0231] [Fourteenth Embodiment]

[0232] Figures 54 and 56 illustrate partial front views of a baby carrier 300 according to a fourteenth embodiment of the present invention. The main difference between the baby carrier 300 in this embodiment and the twelveth and thirteenth embodiments described above is the implementation of the height adjustment component 345. The similarities or differences between this embodiment and the twelveth and thirteenth embodiments described above will not be described in detail here.

[0233] Referring to Figure 54, the height adjustment assembly 345 may include a fifth positioning member 3405 and a sixth positioning member 3406 disposed on each shoulder strap 330, the fifth positioning member 3405 and the sixth positioning member 3406 being positioned near the first end 331 of the shoulder strap 330 on which they are located. It is understood that the fifth positioning member 3405 and the sixth positioning member 3406 are located on the same side (e.g., the front side) of the caregiver, and more specifically, the fifth positioning member 3405 and the sixth positioning member 3406 are located below the second engagement member 3321 and are longitudinally spaced. The fifth positioning member 3405 and the sixth positioning member 3406 are detachably engaged to change the height of the second top edge 3121, thereby changing the infant's riding height.

[0234] Referring to Figures 55 and 56, when the fifth positioning member 3405 is connected to the sixth positioning member 3406, the portion of each shoulder strap 330 located between the fifth positioning member 3405 and the sixth positioning member 3406 is folded, and the second top edge 3121 is raised relative to the first top edge 3111, thereby raising the infant's seating height.

[0235] Conversely, referring to Figure 54, when the fifth positioning member 3405 and the sixth positioning member 3406 separate, the portion of each shoulder strap 330 located between the fifth positioning member 3405 and the sixth positioning member 3406 unfolds, the second top edge 3121 descends relative to the first top edge 3111, and the infant's riding height decreases.

[0236] In some embodiments, at least one of the fifth positioning member 3405 and the sixth positioning member 3406 is configured in multiples at predetermined intervals along the longitudinal direction of the shoulder strap 330. By different connection combinations between the fifth positioning member 3405 and the sixth positioning member 3406, the height of the second top edge 3121 relative to the first top edge 3111 can be adjusted, so that the baby carrier 300 can provide multiple sitting heights, further expanding the applicability of the baby carrier 300.

[0237] Referring to Figures 54 and 56, in this embodiment, the fifth positioning element 3405 is a button, which is fixed to the shoulder strap 330 by a fixing strap 3451, and the sixth positioning element 3406 is a buttonhole. In some embodiments, for example, multiple sixth positioning elements 3406 can be arranged along the longitudinal direction of the shoulder strap 330, and one fifth positioning element 3405 can be selectively connected to multiple sixth positioning elements 3406, which can facilitate the adjustment of the height of the second top edge 3121. In some embodiments, for example, multiple fifth positioning elements 3405 can be arranged along the longitudinal direction of the shoulder strap 330, and one sixth positioning element 3406 can be selectively connected to multiple fifth positioning elements 3405, which can also facilitate the adjustment of the height of the second top edge 3121. In other embodiments, a plurality of fifth positioning elements 3405 and a plurality of sixth positioning elements 3406 may be arranged longitudinally along the shoulder strap 330, and the plurality of fifth positioning elements 3405 and the plurality of sixth positioning elements 3406 may be selectively connected, so that at least one pair of fifth positioning elements 3405 and sixth positioning elements 3406 can be connected when the second top edge 3121 is raised to different heights.

[0238] In other embodiments, the fifth positioning element 3405 and the sixth positioning element 3406 can be Velcro, magnetic elements, or snaps that cooperate with each other. Alternatively, one of the fifth positioning element 3405 and the sixth positioning element 3406 can be a buttonhole, and the other can be a hook that cooperates with the buttonhole.

[0239] It should be noted that the height adjustment component 345 in this embodiment can be used simultaneously with the height adjustment component 345 described in the twelfth, thirteenth, or fifteenth embodiments described below in the same baby carrier 300. As can be seen in Figures 54 and 55, the height adjustment component 345 in this embodiment may also include the aforementioned first connector 341 and first lifting member 351. Of course, in some alternative embodiments, the height adjustment component 345 of the baby carrier 300 may only be configured with the fifth positioning member 3405 and the sixth positioning member 3406 described in this embodiment, without configuring other forms of height adjustment components 345 such as the first connector 341 and the first lifting member 351.

[0240] [Fifteenth Embodiment]

[0241] Figure 57 illustrates a front view of a baby carrier 300 according to the fifteenth embodiment of the present invention. The main difference between the baby carrier 300 in this embodiment and the twelve to fourteenth embodiments described above is the implementation of the height adjustment component 345. The similarities or differences between this embodiment and the twelve to fourteenth embodiments described above will not be described in detail here.

[0242] As shown in Figure 57, the height adjustment assembly 345 may include a third pull member 353 and a plurality of third connectors 343. Each third connector 343 is laterally connected between the two shoulder straps 330 and located above the second top edge 3121, and the plurality of third connectors 343 are spaced apart longitudinally from each other. Each third connector 343 may be a soft or hard strip. It is understood that each third connector 343 is located on the same side of the caregiver (front side in the figure) as the carrying panel 310, and more specifically, each third connector 343 is located below the second connecting member 3321. The first end 3531 of the third pull member 353 is connected to the inner panel 312 and located between the two shoulder straps 330, and the second end 3532 of the third pull member 353 is selectively and detachably engaged with the third connector 343. It is understood that the second end 3532 of the third lifting member 353 is connected to different third connecting members 343, which can adjust the height of the second top edge 3121 relative to the first top edge 3111, allowing the baby carrier 300 to provide multiple seating heights and further expanding the applicability of the baby carrier 300. The third lifting member 353 may be, for example, a cloth strap.

[0243] In some embodiments, at least one end (end 3431 or end 3432) of at least a portion of the third connector 343 may be detachably engaged with the corresponding shoulder strap 330, such that the third connector 343 not connected to the third lift member 353 may, for example, be connected to only one shoulder strap 330 at one end, thereby relieving unnecessary constraints on the lateral distance between the two shoulder straps 330 imposed by these third connectors 343 not connected to the third lift member 353.

[0244] The engagement method of the third connector 343 and the third lifting member 353 can refer to that described in the twelfth embodiment above, where the third connector 343 is provided with Velcro 3407 and the third lifting member 353 is provided with Velcro 3408, and the Velcro 3407 and Velcro 3408 are engaged with each other. Alternatively, the engagement method of the third connector 343 and the third lifting member 353 can refer to that described in the thirteenth embodiment above, where the second end 3532 of the third lifting member 353 is connected to the third connector 343 by forming an annular sleeve. In other embodiments, the third connector 343 and the third lifting member 353 can be connected by mutually cooperating snaps, or by mutually cooperating magnetic components, or by mutually cooperating buttons and buttonholes, or by mutually cooperating buttonholes and hooks.

[0245] It should be noted that the height adjustment components 345 described in the twelfth to fifteenth embodiments of the present invention can be used in combination without conflict. For example, the same baby carrier 300 may include the height adjustment components 345 described in one of the twelfth, thirteenth, and fifteenth embodiments, as well as the height adjustment component 345 described in the fourteenth embodiment. Of course, the height adjustment components 345 described in each embodiment may also be used individually in the baby carrier 300.

[0246] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0247] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of the present invention, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of this invention patent should be determined by the appended claims.
