The baby carrier system includes a baby carrier and a waist strap. The baby carrier includes a main body, a baby securing system, and shoulder straps. The waist strap may preferably be detachable and adjustable. In some embodiments, the baby carrier system may be a multi-functional baby carrier system that includes a multi-functional baby carrier configured for use as a car seat insert, where the multi-functional baby carrier includes fastener slits that allow for a car seat harness to secure a baby when the fastener slits are unfastened. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A baby carrier system comprising: a. a baby carrier comprising: i. a main body that includes a top and a bottom; ii. a baby securing system configured to secure a torso of a baby between the baby securing system and the main body; and iii. one or more shoulder straps; and b. a waist strap; wherein the waist strap may be releasably attached to the baby carrier using a waist strap securing system, wherein each shoulder strap is permanently secured to the main body at or near the top of the main body, wherein each shoulder strap is releasably or permanently secured directly or indirectly to the main body at or near the bottom of the main body, and wherein the baby securing system comprises a T-strap that includes a T-strap connector and one or more T-strap fasteners, wherein the T-strap connector is secured to the main body at a T-strap connector attachment point. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The baby carrier system of claim 1, wherein the baby carrier further comprises a lower shoulder strap stabilizer, wherein each shoulder strap is releasably or permanently secured to the lower shoulder strap stabilizer and wherein the lower shoulder strap stabilizer is permanently secured to the main body near the bottom of the main body at a lower shoulder strap stabilizer attachment point, whereby each shoulder strap is indirectly secured to the main body. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The baby carrier system of claim 2, wherein the main, body includes a horizontal stabilizer bar positioned between the lower shoulder strap stabilizer attachment point and T-strap connector attachment point. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The baby carrier system of claim 1, wherein the main body includes a tunneling overlay that includes two or more tunnels, wherein the T-strap includes one T-strap fastener that is secured to the baby carrier by threading it through a tunnel of the tunneling overlay, and wherein the T-strap fastener is configured to be secured to itself and the T-strap connector. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The baby carrier system of claim 1, wherein the baby carrier is a multi-functional baby carrier, wherein the main body of the baby carrier includes fastener slits that enable the baby carrier to be reversibly secured to a car seat. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The baby carrier system of claim 5, wherein the baby carrier further comprises a lower shoulder strap stabilizer, wherein each shoulder strap is releasably or permanently secured to the lower shoulder strap stabilizer and wherein the lower shoulder strap stabilizer is permanently secured to the main body near the bottom of the main body at a lower shoulder strap stabilizer attachment point, whereby each shoulder strap is indirectly secured to the main body. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The baby carrier system of claim 6, wherein the main body includes a horizontal stabilizer bar positioned between the lower shoulder strap stabilizer attachment point and T-strap connector attachment point. ### Claim 8 (depends on 5) The baby carrier system of claim 5, wherein the main body includes a tunneling overlay that includes two or more tunnels, wherein the T-strap includes one T-strap fastener that is secured to the baby carrier by threading it through a tunnel of the tunneling overlay, and wherein the T-strap fastener is configured to be secured to itself and the T-strap connector. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The baby carrier system of claim 1, wherein the waist strap securing system comprises a magnetic attachment system. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The baby carrier system of claim 9, wherein the magnetic attachment system includes a mechanical release. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The baby carrier system of claim 10, wherein the main body includes a horizontal stabilizer bar positioned between the lower shoulder strap stabilizer attachment point and T-strap connector attachment point and wherein the magnetic attachment system includes a magnetic clip that is positioned at the center of the horizontal stabilizer bar. ### Claim 12 (depends on 3) The baby carrier system of claim 3, wherein the main body includes a tunneling overlay that includes two or more tunnels, wherein the T-strap includes one T-strap fastener that is secured to the baby carrier by threading it through a tunnel of the tunneling overlay, and wherein the T-strap fastener is configured to be secured to itself and the T-strap connector. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The baby carrier system of claim 12, wherein the waist strap securing system comprises a magnetic attachment system. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The baby carrier system of claim 13, wherein the magnetic attachment system includes a magnetic clip that is positioned at the center of the horizontal stabilizer bar and further includes a mechanical release. ### Claim 15 (depends on 5) The baby carrier system of claim 5, wherein the waist strap securing system comprises a magnetic attachment system. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The baby carrier system of claim 15, wherein the magnetic attachment system includes a mechanical release. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The baby carrier system of claim 16, wherein the main body includes a horizontal stabilizer bar positioned between the lower shoulder strap stabilizer attachment point and T-strap connector attachment point and wherein the magnetic attachment system includes a magnetic clip that is positioned at the center of the horizontal stabilizer bar. ### Claim 18 (depends on 7) The baby carrier system of claim 7, wherein the main body includes a tunneling overlay that includes two or more tunnels, wherein the T-strap includes one T-strap fastener that is secured to the baby carrier by threading it through a tunnel of the tunneling overlay, and wherein the T-strap fastener is configured to be secured to itself and the T-strap connector. ### Claim 19 (depends on 18) The baby carrier system of claim 18, wherein the waist strap securing system comprises a magnetic attachment system. ### Claim 20 (depends on 19) The baby carrier system of claim 19, wherein the magnetic attachment system includes a magnetic clip that is positioned at the center of the horizontal stabilizer bar and further includes a mechanical release.
