Benefits of technology

[0011]As may be appreciated from the foregoing summary, the invention provides a comfortable pack that is easy to use and clean. The liner stays in place, protects the pack edges from becoming soiled and protects the child from the more rigid supporting enclosure edges. The fastener placement on the exterior of the enclosure also adds to comfort of the child and maintains the placement of the liner until removal is desired.

Problems solved by technology

Nevertheless, the child may come into contact with the other portions of the carrier or with fasteners, edges, or other carrier components that may be uncomfortable or become soiled.
Enclosure edges near the child's head, legs, or arms may chafe the child.

Embodiment Construction

[0020]The present invention provides an improved child carrier with a removable liner. The liner includes extension tabs that fold over the edge of the carrier child enclosure with fasteners on the tabs to secure to the exterior of the enclosure. The carrier thus provides a secure and comfortable location for a child that may be easily cleaned.

However, depending on the age and strength of the child, the child may be reversed to face forward with a top flap of the carrier folded over to allow enhanced movement by the child. The carrier may also be adapted for use on the back on the adult.

[0022]Carrier 10 includes a carrier body 12 and a harness 14. Carrier body 12 encircles the child such that the child's torso is substantially enclosed with legs and arms extending from openings in the carrier body 12. The child's head also extends upwardly from the carrier and may be at least partia...

Abstract

A pack is securable to a person for carrying a child. The pack includes a harness, a support enclosure, and a removable liner. The removable liner is secured to the support enclosure and has peripheral edges and tabs extending from at least portions of the edges. The tabs extend over the edge of the support enclosure along the leg and arm openings of the closure and along the top of the enclosure near the position for the child's head. The tabs overlap the exterior of the enclosure and lie adjacent an outer face of the closure. Fasteners secure the tabs to the exterior of the support enclosure away from pressure or rubbing contact of the child.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]This invention relates generally to packs that may be worn on the front or back of a user and, more specifically, to child carrier packs for safely and conveniently carrying a child.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Child carrier packs have been available for some time to help adults carry infants and small children. Typically, the packs are configured with a harness and child support seat for carrying a child proximate either the chest or back of the adult. The harness extends over the shoulders of the wearer. Some versions also include a waist belt. The seat into which the child is situated typically encircles the child to avoid the likelihood that the child should fall out. The extent of support and securement for the child may increase with smaller children and infants. Thus, the seat may be an enclosure around at least the torso of the child with the child's head, legs, and arms extending out from the enclosure.[0003]As the child comes into extensive ...
