Abstract: An infant carrier is improved with regards to comfort and transportability by utilizing, in combination, a plastic frame assembly and a laterally-resilient, mesh-type nylon material for supporting the infant. The plastic frame assembly is gently and downwardly contoured at the topmost and bottommost portions so as to provide a convenient and natural means of lifting the carrier. The mesh-type material is secured between an upper and lower plastic frame member. The plastic frame member is further provided with means of attaching a body harness and a tubular support stand.
