Abstract
Abstract The portable infant carrier is made with a mesh body of three-dimensional shape which is molded with the frame of the seat. The mesh body conforms to the shape of the individual infant and thus permits an infant to be carried in a supported, semi-fetal position. A handle is provided by which the carrier can be transported in a pendulum-like manner. The seat may also be pivoted into one of a plurality of reclining positions relative to the leg support.
