Abstract: A two-shoulder trunk-engaging infant carrier for protectively supporting an infant, which includes a substantially thick, cushioned seating platform, removably housed in fabric or fabric-like material. An extension of the fabric projects upward from the bottom-most edges of the platform in the form of a three-sided compartment with a front-closing catch/release and leg partition. A long belt issues from an expandable rim passage and is extendable around the compartment for manipulative control of the infant's posture and movements in a space structured to allow variable margins of freedom.
