Benefits of technology

[0008]It is an object of the present invention to improve the conventional baby carriers by replacing the narrow waist straps and buckles or tie-knots in the back of a wearer's body with one wide strap and a plurality of aluminum rings or a large buckle on the side of the wearer's body. The wide sling style waist strap provides a wearer with greater comfort.

Problems solved by technology

In general, most of the conventional baby carriers that are on the market today are constructed with a big knot in the middle of a wearer's back or a buckle attached to a narrow stiff nylon webbing which can create pressure on a wearer's lower back and cause pain.
Moreover, most of the conventional baby carriers have narrow waist straps which normally dig into the wearer's torso around the waist or hips, and creating an unsightly appearance with potential discomfort and pain.
This prevents the parent from creating a bond of security needed for a well adjusted child to develop.

Abstract

The present invention provides an improvement that can be used on any baby carrier in place of a conventional buckle waist or a conventional tie waist. The wide strap system is threaded through a set of rings or a large buckle on the side of a wearer's torso and can increase comfort, support and smooth the appearance of bulging that a typical narrow or tying waist strap waist gives to the wearer. Therefore, women and men will use the improved baby carrier for a longer period of time, thus increasing the bonding experience between parent and child.
