A garment is provided as a baby carrier where a front panel has a pair of upper slots to allow arms of a baby carried inside the garment to extend through the upper slots and a pair of lower slots so allow legs of a baby carried inside the garment with the caregiver to extend through the lower slots. The front panel also has a front opening extending upwardly along the front panel so allow the head of the baby to extend through the opening. The lower slots are arranged relative to a bottom band wrapped around the wearer so that the baby with its legs through the lower slots is supported by sitting on that portion of the front panel pulled against the lower torso of the wearer by the band.
