Abstract: A baby carrier 1 has an upright-position-holding-seat main body 11 for holding a baby in contact therewith. A contact portion of the upright-position-holding-seat main body 11 with the baby is configured with a buffer member inside. The buffer member has a relieving portion for relieving buffer power of the buffer member. The upright-position-holding-seat main body 11 is an upright-position holding seat for holding the baby in an upright position, and the contact portion is a leg-opening portion 100 which is brought into contact with a buttocks portion or an inner thigh portion of the baby.

Abstract: A buckle including a pair of members (4, 5) coupled to or separated from each other. The buckle includes a socket (10) and a plug (30) capable of being inserted into the socket and hooked in the socket in the state where the plug is inserted into a prespecified position. The socket is attached to a one member (5) in the pair. The plug has a pull section (33) in the direction intersectional to the plug inserting direction, and a mounting section (37) with the other member mounted thereon is provided on the pull section (33).

Abstract: An infant carrier has an infant carrier main body having a pair of shoulder belts to be mounted around the shoulders of a user, and a vertical holding seat to be mounted on the infant carrier main body so as to hold an infant in a vertical holding condition. The back sides of the pair of the shoulder belts are provided with curves in directions that they approach each other, and joining elements for joining together the shoulder belts is provided at the vertex positions of the curves.

Abstract: An apparatus for heating a baby formula pot 10 includes a case 11, and a heating plate 12 disposed in the case 11 on which a baby formula pot 30 is mounted. When the baby formula pot 30 is mounted on the heating plate 12 and is heated by the heating plate 12, the water contained in the baby formula pot 30 is boiled to become hot water. An water amount is calculated by a control mechanism 35 based on a temperature rising ratio of the water. An optimum cooling period is calculated by the control mechanism 35 based on the calculated water amount. A cooling fan 13 is rotated by the control mechanism 35 in compliance with the optimum cooling period, so that the baby formula pot 30 is cooled by air taken-in through air intake ports 18.
