Baby carrier

Abstract

The present invention relates to a carrier for carrying babies comprising a central portion ( 1 ) extended along a predetermined longitudinal direction (Y-Y) between a top end ( 1 a ) and a bottom end ( 1 b ) and provided with opposite sides ( 1 c, 1 d ). The carrier ( 100 ) is further provided with a belt ( 10 ) attached in substantial matching with the bottom end ( 1 b ) of the central portion ( 1 ) and projecting laterally from the sides ( 1 c, 1 d ) of the central portion ( 1 ) for surrounding a user's side, A first brace ( 21 ) and a second brace ( 22 ) are attached to the central portion ( 1 ) in a substantially intermediate position between the top end ( 1 a ) and the bottom end ( 1 b ) of the central portion ( 1 ). The braces ( 21, 22 ) project laterally from the sides ( 1 c, 1 d ) of the central portion ( 1 ) and exhibit a sufficient length for wrapping around the user's shoulders, crossing “X-wise” at the user's back and surrounding the central portion ( 1 ) at the bottom end ( 1 b ). Moreover, the free ends of the braces ( 21, 22 ) are suitable for removably constraining at the user's abdomen in superimposition to the belt ( 10 ). The carrier ( 100 ) further comprises a first buttonhole ( 41 ) and a second buttonhole ( 42 ) respectively connected to each of the sides ( 1 c, 1 d ) of the central portion ( 1 ) and positioned between the braces ( 21, 22 ) and the belt ( 10 ). The first ( 41 ) and the second buttonhole ( 42 ) also determine respective loops for the second ( 22 ) and the first brace ( 21 ) in order to obtain a steady coupling between the sides ( 1 c, 1 d ) of the central portion ( 1 ) and of the braces ( 21, 22 ).
