Description
This invention relates to a device for carrying a child safely and comfortably on the shoulders of an adult.
Background
Parents especially fathers have been carrying their children on their shoulders for thousands of years and this mode of transport for the 18 month old toddler up to a child of 4 or 5 years old has become a recipe for great fun, adventure1 bonding, intimacy and trust building between parent or responsible adult and the child been carried.
Reasons There are countless reasons why a parent, a guardian or other responsible adult choose to hoist a child unto their shoulders and just as many reasons why children get excited at the prospect of riding on the shoulders of an adult. Among the reasons is the advantage of the * child having a better view at some event or to keep a child safe and out of harm's way in a crowded situation or when the family is out walking and the child gets too tired to walk, to name but a few -the point is that carrying a child on the shoulders is a time-honoured practice.
The Problem Even though carrying a child on the shoulders is successfully and universally practiced by parents and adults there are a few drawbacks to its popularity e.g. the lack of any back or head support for the child and the fact that the only real security against the child falling backwards from the shoulders of the carrying adult is for the said adult to hold onto the legs of the child; the only other alternative to holding the child's legs is that the child been carried is forced into holding onto the head or neck of the person carrying him or her with all the accompanying feelings of insecurity and discomforts to both adult and child.
These are legitimate drawbacks, dangers and hindrances to carrying children on the shoulders safely and comfortably as the practice relates to health and safety.
The Solution The invention of a device for carrying a child safely and comfortably on the shoulders of an adult solves the above problem.
