Thereby, it is possible to easily insert the baby between the wearer and the right front body member 50. After the baby is inserted between the wearer and the right front body member 50, the left shoulder belt 40 is hung on the wearer's right shoulder.

  As shown in FIG. 15, the upper portion of the baby holder 8 and one end portion of the pair of shoulder belts 30, 40 are connected by the third connecting portion. Specifically, the third engagement portion 33 attached to the right shoulder belt 30 and the third engaged portion 92 attached to the tip of the connection belt 90 of the baby holder 8 are connected. It is possible to adjust the height position of the right front body member 50 by adjusting the length adjusting belt 342 (FIG. 5) of the length adjusting portion 34.

  Similarly, the third engagement portion 43 attached to the left shoulder belt 40 and the third engaged portion 91 attached to the tip of the connection belt 90 extending from the left arm 87 of the baby holder 8 are connected. Specifically, the third engaging portion 43 attached to the left shoulder belt 40 and the third engaged portion 91 attached to the tip of the connecting belt 90 of the baby holder 8 are connected. By adjusting the length adjustment belt 442 (FIG. 5) of the length adjustment portion 44, it is possible to adjust the height position of the right front body member 50.

  Finally, the first connecting portion is connected in a state where the right front body member 50 and the left front body member 60 are superimposed. Specifically, the first engagement portion 53 provided on the surface of the right front body member 50 and the first engaged portion 63 provided on the projecting portion 610 of the left front body member 60 are connected.

  With such a configuration, since the baby can be held between the right front body member 50 and the left front body member 60 which are overlapped with the wearer, the baby can be held surely, and the safety is improved. be able to. Furthermore, since the infants are connected to the parent side attachment 2 while the trunk is held by the infant holder 8, the safety can be further improved.

  In addition, in the case of the conventional baby carrier, when holding the baby with a baby carrier, after holding the baby with the shoulder belt before putting it on the shoulder and putting it between the baby body and the wearer, the both shoulder belt The burden on parents was heavy. However, in the present embodiment, the right front body member 50 is connected to the right shoulder belt 30, and the left front body member 60 is connected to the left shoulder belt 40. As a result, when the baby is held by the baby band 1, the baby can be put on the shoulder with one of the shoulder belts on the shoulder, so there is no need to remove both shoulder belts 30 and 40. The burden on the side can be reduced.

  Further, in the conventional baby carrier, the bridge belt 35 can not be connected unless the shoulder belts 30 and 40 are attached, and it is difficult for one person to attach. However, in the present embodiment, the right front body member 50 is connected to the right shoulder belt 30, and the left front body member 60 is connected to the left shoulder belt 40, so that the shoulder belts 30 and 40 wide open laterally. Before mounting the shoulder belts 30, 40, the bridge belts 35 can be connected and the shoulder belts 30, 40 can be hung on both shoulders.

  The above has described the case of an infant. In the case of an infant, since the crotch width dimension is larger than that of the baby, it is necessary to make the crotch width dimension of the crotch width adjustment member 100 larger. Specifically, referring to FIG. 3, the first surface fasteners 58 of the first crotch support 55 and the second surface fasteners 710 of the waist belt 70 are connected, and the first surface fasteners 68 of the second crotch support 65 are connected. And the second surface fastener 711 of the waist belt 70 are connected. Thus, the crotch width dimension of the crotch width adjustment member 100 can be increased.

(About diagonal holding)
A method of diagonally holding is described with reference to FIGS. 16 to 19.

  Angled holding is performed, for example, on an infant in front of the neck. In the case of holding at an angle, it is necessary to increase the lateral length of the connecting portion of the waist belt 70 and the right front body member 50 and the left front body member 60. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the crotch width dimension of the crotch width adjustment member 100 as in the case of vertically holding the infant. Specifically, referring to FIG. 3, the first surface fasteners 58 of the first crotch support 55 and the second surface fasteners 710 of the waist belt 70 are connected, and the first surface fasteners 68 of the second crotch support 65 are connected. And the second surface fastener 711 of the waist belt 70 are connected. Thereby, the connection part of the waist belt 70, the right front body member 50, and the left front body member 60 can be enlarged.

  Thus, as shown in FIG. 16, with the connecting portion of the waist belt 70 and the right front body member 50 and the left front body member 60 enlarged, the first waist rest portion 71 of the waist belt 70 is placed on the parent's waist The female buckle 73 and the male buckle 74 are connected, and the waist belt 70 is attached. All the parent side wearing tools 2 other than the waist belt 70 are in a state of hanging down from the front of the waist belt 70.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 17, the right shoulder belt 30 is hung on the left shoulder of the wearer, and the left shoulder belt 40 is hung on the right shoulder. In this case, the first engaging portion 53 of the right front body member 50 and the first engaged portion 63 (first connecting portion) of the left front body member 60 are not connected. In this state, the infant holder 8 holds the infant holding the trunk.

  As shown in FIG. 18, the baby whose trunk is held by the baby holder 8 is inserted between the right front body member 50 and the left front body member 60, and the legs of the baby are made of the right front body member 50 and the left front body member 60. Get out from the left.

  As shown in FIG. 19, the upper part of the baby holder 8 and the right and left shoulder belts 30 and 40 are connected by the third connecting portion. Specifically, the third engagement portion 33 of the right shoulder belt 30 and the third engaged portion 92 attached to the end of the connection belt 90 of the baby holder 8 are connected. In this case, it is possible to adjust the height position of the right front body member 50 by adjusting the length adjusting belt 342 (FIG. 5) of the length adjusting portion 34.

  Similarly, the third engagement portion 43 attached to the left shoulder belt 40 and the third engaged portion 91 attached to the tip of the connection belt 90 of the infant holder 8 are connected. Also in this case, it is possible to adjust the height position of the left front body member 60 by adjusting the length adjusting belt 442 (FIG. 5) of the length adjusting portion 44. Since the third engaged portion 91 of the infant holder 8 is positioned outside the third engaged portion 92, the length adjustment portion 44 of the right shoulder belt 30 is adjusted to the length of the left shoulder belt 40. It is desirable to make it longer than the length of the part 34.

  Finally, the rear end portion of the infant holder 8 and the left front body member 60 are connected by a fourth connecting portion. Specifically, the fourth engaging portion 93 on the back surface of the infant holder 8 and the first engaged portion 63 attached to the end of the left front body member 60 are connected.

  With such a configuration, since the baby can be held by being obliquely held between the right front body member 50 and the left front body member 60, the baby can be reliably held, and the safety can be improved. Furthermore, since the infants are connected to the parent side attachment 2 while the trunk is held by the infant holder 8, the safety can be further improved. In addition, since the head of an infant is connected at three places, the head can be stably held without being displaced.
