In this state, the holding table 6 is used as a support when the infant 4 is held backward as shown in FIG. 5 or as a support when the infant 4 is held forward as shown in FIG. At this time, the pad wall 7
5 provides a backrest surface for the infant 4 in the state of FIG. 5, and functions as a positioning means for the crotch portion of the infant 4 in the state of FIG.

It is preferable that the use modes shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 are limited to use in a relatively short time. When the infant holding tool 1 is used for a relatively long time as a support for the infant 4, the support belt 25 is pulled out from the holding base 6 as shown in FIG. 3, and the infant is held as shown in FIG. The support belt 25 is hung on the shoulder of the wearer 2 while the support belt 25 is placed on the holding table 6 while holding the back 4 in a backward direction. In this way, the infant 4 can be stably held for a relatively long period of time with the aid of the support belt 25 and the pad portion 27 and the bridge belt portion 28 provided thereon together with the presence of the pad wall 7.

In any of the use states shown in FIGS. 4 to 7, it is recommended that at least one hand of the wearer 2 be attached to the body of the infant 4 in order to enhance the safety for the infant 4. FIG. 13 shows another embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that in FIG.
Elements corresponding to the elements shown in FIG. 12 to FIG. 12 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description will be omitted.

FIG. 13 is a side view showing the holding core 10 and the waist belt 3a. The waist belt 3a has a front belt portion 30a passing on the front side of the holding core member 10 and a back belt portion 31a passing on the same back side. The front belt portion 30a and the back belt portion 31a are connected to each other on both sides of the holding core 10 as in the case of the front belt portion 30 and the back belt portion 31 described above.

In this embodiment, the front belt portion 30a
Is made to pass through a relatively lower position on the front side of the holding core 10, and the height of the front belt portion 30 a on the front side of the holding core 10 is the same as that of the back belt portion 31 a. 10 is chosen to be lower than the height on the back side. In this manner, by selecting the height position of the front belt portion 30a, the force for lifting the front end of the holding core 10 can be more greatly exerted by the front belt portion 30a. Therefore, the front belt portion 30a can more effectively act so as to maintain the seat surface in a substantially horizontal posture.

Although the present invention has been described with reference to some illustrated embodiments, other embodiments are possible within the scope of the present invention. For example, in the illustrated embodiment, the holding table 6 is covered by the bag 8,
Although the holding core 10 is accommodated in the bag 8, the holding core itself may constitute a holding table without the bag.

The present invention can also be applied to an infant holding device having no pad wall 7.
