  • Two sets of harness loops can be fixed to the upper part of the stem and one set 5 fixed to the head portion of the strip.
  • Reinforcing webbing in an X formation can extend between the sets of harness loops.
  • the shoulder harness can comprise two straps of substantially equal length interlinked in a X formation by a joint which enables one strap to slide relative to the other whilst maintaining unity, the ends of the straps each being provided with fasteners which enable them to be selectively fixed to the harness loops of strip depending on the mode of carrying which is adopted.
  • the front of the strip can be provided with a pocket which enables the strip to be rolled and stored in the pocket and by using the tie as a waist strap the pouch can be worn as a hip purse.
  • At least one end of the tie strips and one end of each shoulder strap can be adjustable for length.

  • Figure 1 shows a strip 1 of thick quilted material of generally inverted T shape.
  • the back of the strip is made of strong jean material and the front of the strip, shown in Figure 2, is of softer material and is formed with slightly cupped portion 3 to assist the formation of a pocket in which the infant is 25 seated when the pouch is in use.
  • Two sets of crossed jean webbing 4 are stitched to the back surface of the strip 1 and terminate in plastic loops and fixtures 5 for attaching the harness shown in Figure 3.

  • the upper and lower ends of the straps 5 are provided with plastics fixtures 22 enabling them to be attached to the fixtures 5 shown in Figure 1.
  • Self-adhesive patches of material known under the registered trade mark VELCRO can be used to hold the free ends of the harness in appropriate positions on the carrier pouch when the harness is fitted to it. Four such VELCRO patches are shown in Figure 3 and referenced 10 24.
  • Figures 4, 5 and 6 show different ways in which the carrier pouch can be supported on the shoulders of the mother with the infant is supported facing inwardly towards the front of its mother or outwardly.
