Child-carrying device

Abstract

A child-carrying device has a waist belt and a support element that is carried by and that extends upward from the waist belt. The support element has a front piece, which via a lower central part is connected to the support element in order to form a bottom of a carrying pocket. The front piece has laterally spaced-apart attaching elements which are detachably connected to appurtenant adjacent attaching elements that are laterally spaced-apart on the support element. A shoulder strap extends between the respective upper corner areas of the support element in order to extend over one shoulder of the wearer and under the arm on an opposite side of the upper body. This enables the carrying device to be rotated around the upper body part for shifting of the carrying pocket between the front side and back side of the wearer, while the shoulder strap extends over the shoulder.

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This continuation-in-part application claims the benefit of priority to PCT / SE2007 / 000882 filed Oct. 4, 2007, and published in English.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The invention relates to a child-carrying device that can be worn on either the chest-side or on the back-side of a wearer. The invention relates more specifically to a child-carrying device that can be easily rotated from the chest-side to the back-side of a wearer, or vice versa, without removing the device from the wearer.[0004]Thus, the invention relates to a child-carrying device having a waist belt, an upstanding support element that is carried by the waist belt and that extends upward next to the upper body part of the wearer, the support element carrying, on the outside thereof, a front piece, which via a lower central part is connected to the support element in order to form a bottom of a carrying pocket, wherein, in upper laterally sp...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0009]Therefore, an object of the invention is to provide a child-carrying device, which as put on and worn on the upper body part of the wearer conveniently can be rotated so that the child-carrying pocket in an effective carrying state and with good carrying safety can be moved between the back side and front side of the wearer. An additional object is to provide strap constructions that offer an enhanced comfort for the wearer, particularly when the carrying pocket is situated on the back side of the wearer.

Problems solved by technology

A drawback of such a previously known type of child-carrying device is that small children aged, for instance, more than one year, begin to get a considerable weight.

However, such an operation would be risky for the child, and if the child calls for attention, the carrying device has to be taken off again for the wearer to get the possibility of closer contact with the child.
