Abstract: A car seat carrying device is described that permits a user to carry an empty car seat on his or her back freeing his or her hands and arms to perform other tasks. One embodiment of the device includes left and right shoulder straps connected by a center section. The center section is typically threaded through slotted openings in the car seat. Slotted openings are generally provided in car seats to permit seat belts or LATCH straps to pass through them when securing a car seat in a vehicle.
