Abstract: A front pack infant carrier consisting of a thick, generally rectangular foam or padded seat secured by straps made of webbing. Straps are worn over the shoulders of the wearer and the seat is positioned adjacent and substantially perpendicular to the wearer's stomach. The infant sits in a forward facing position and is held in place by the left and right shoulder straps, horizontal straps transversely crossing the front shoulder straps, and a vertical crotch strap connected to the horizontal straps and to the seat front and bottom. The crotch strap extends to form a wearer's belt-engaging loop. The shoulder straps are formed in one continuous loop, crossing at the back of the wearer.
