Abstract: A baby carrier may comprise a panel extending upward from the waistband. The panel may extend over a torso of a caretaker, defining an interior space operable to receive a child, forming a seat. The panel may include adjustable fasteners operable to shorten a length of the panel by distributing and securing excess material at or near the bottom of the child, away from the face, minimizing health risks. The panel may couple to shoulder straps having adjustable fasteners to provide a proper fit for various body types. The panel may include adjustable siding operable to slide along the lower portion of each shoulder strap such that the adjustable siding cinches inward toward the panel, narrowing its width, providing a tailored and ergonomic seat.
