Benefits of technology

[0009]Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a baby sling with foot support shoes, capable of supporting a baby's feet so that the baby's knees are bent and legs are not dangling when the baby is held on a carer's chest by the baby sling, so as to prevent the baby's thighs from being pressed and chafed between the carer and the baby sling, while improving the baby's health and stability by allowing smooth blood circulation.

[0010]Another object of the present invention is to provide a baby sling with foot support shoes having a supporting band which is removably connected to shoulder straps to enable connection and separation of the foot support shoes, and to function as a cushion relieving a load applied to the shoulder straps and further to a carer's shoulders.

[0012]The shoe body may include an opening and closing member formed at a rear or lateral side thereof in a length direction to help the baby's foot to be smoothly put into the shoe body.

[0020]The shoe body may be formed of a mesh to improve ventilation efficiency for use in summer.

Problems solved by technology

Although the flanged wings 31 are curved to relieve pressure applied to the baby's thighs, such a simple curve is insufficient to prevent the baby's weight from being transmitted to the thighs.

Therefore, the baby, incapable of correctly expressing his or her feelings, suffers from pain in the thighs while being carried in the baby sling.

When the carer walks with a baby seated in the baby sling, the baby's thighs may be chafed due to shaking generated by the walking.

Also, the pressure applied to the baby's thighs may even hinder blood circulation.
