Abstract: An infant carrier system with a consumer-assembled frame is disclosed. The system includes a central frame assembly comprising two generally parallel tubes vertically disposed and positionable upon the back of an infant care provider. The central frame assembly includes two free upper ends and two free lower ends. A bracket is coupled to each tube intermediate to its upper and lower ends thereof. An upper frame assembly is formed in a generally inverted U-shaped configuration. The upper frame assembly has parallel legs extending horizontally terminating in free ends couplable with respect to the free upper ends of the tubes of the central frame assembly. A lower frame assembly is provided with a generally U-shaped configuration with a horizontal leg positionable upon the floor for support independent of a child care provider.
