Abstract: A firm V-shaped saddle is supported from its narrow end by a hip rest having a force disbursion plate thereon of larger surface area than the narrow end of the saddle. Straps from the opposite, wide end of the saddle are connected to rings at the top of the hip rest, and the entire saddle and hip rest are then suspended from the rings by cross-body straps that lead to a shoulder cup having an over-the-shoulder band and an around-the-shoulder band with a central opening receiving the point of the shoulder. The saddle maintains its firmness due to a stiff inner frame of metal or the like with a flexible outer edge angling upwardly and outwardly to retain the infant on the saddle.
