  • Patent number: 8851487
    Abstract: An infant transport apparatus includes a Bucket assembly, an Insert assembly, and a Ring assembly (i.e. a BIR arrangement). The bucket assembly includes a bucket construction and a handle assembly. The bucket construction includes two bucket-based, leg-receiving apertures adjacent the bucket bottom. The inner bucket surface defines a volumetric space for receiving an infant. The insert assembly includes a liner assembly and a harness assembly. The liner assembly is sized and shaped to fit the inner bucket surface. The harness assembly is removably attached to the bucket assembly and donnable by the infant. The ring assembly includes an upper ring assembly. The bucket assembly is received and supported by the upper ring assembly such that the bucket-based and certain mesh-based leg-receiving apertures of the upper ring assembly are aligned. The bucket assembly is selectively removable from the mesh sack for transporting the infant.
