Abstract: An infant carrier is provided which is capable of being positioned in various configurations in order to suit the various activities in which a infant can be involved. The body of the carrier is movably attached to the base in order that they can be moved to various positions relative one another. In a first position, the body of the carrier and the base are adjacent one another and in a second position the carrier body is moved a limited distance away from the base. In this second position, the carrier body is capable of a bouncing motion which can be activated by the infant's own movement or another person's touch. Preferably additional configurations, such as configurations in which an infant in the infant carrier can be easily fed or carried, are also obtainable.

Abstract: This invention relates to an improved pouch-type infant carrier characterized by a drawstring subassembly extending transversely of the seat operative upon actuation to preset the maximum distance separating the leg openings so as to locate the latter directly behind the knees when the child is seated in the pouch with his or her legs open in spread-eagle relation, and a belt-forming appendage located adjacent the leg openings operative upon being drawn taut and tied or otherwise secured around the waist to cooperate with the drawstring subassembly to maintain the leg openings in preselected fixed spaced relation.
