Abstract: A sling-type infant carrier is provided, typically sewn of fabric to include an approximately rectangular body, with a lower set of straps to girdle the adult at mid-torso and an upper set of straps each for crossing over the adult's respective one shoulder and under the adult's opposite underarm. The upper set of straps preferably centrally incorporates a pillow/chin-rest. The carrier body preferably includes a plurality of horizontal pleats which may be let out to accommodate growth of the infant. And the carrier body, which is configured to provide the infant with a comfortable seat when the infant is slung in confronting relation, preferably includes an adjustable width-reducing strap for easily reconfiguring the infant carrier for the infant's comfort when the infant is to be carried in a facing-out orientation.
