Abstract
A baby carrier assembly includes a belt that can be worn about a mother's waist. A sleeve is positioned around the belt and the sleeve defines a cushion chamber that is centrally located on the belt. A cushion is positioned within the cushion chamber to facilitate a baby to be seated on the cushion chamber when the belt is worn around the mother's waist. A first scarf is extendable through the cushion chamber in the sleeve such that the first scarf forms a pair of arms that can be wrapped around the baby and the mother's torso thereby securing the baby to the mother's torso. A second scarf is provided which is wrappable around the first scarf to facilitate the baby to be firmly secured against the mother's torso.

- a cushion being positioned within said cushion chamber wherein said cushion is configured to facilitate a baby to be seated on said cushion chamber when said belt is worn around the mother's waist;
- a first scarf being extendable through said cushion chamber in said sleeve such that said first scarf forms a pair of arms wherein each of said pair of arms is configured to be wrapped around the baby and the mother's torso thereby securing the baby to the mother's torso;
- and
- a second scarf having a length being less than a length of said first scarf, said second scarf being wrappable around said first scarf when said first scarf is wrapped around the mother's torso wherein said second scarf is configured to facilitate the baby to be firmly secured against the mother's torso.
A baby carrier assembly for facilitating a baby to be carried on a mother's torso in a seated position, said assembly comprising:
- a belt being configured for wearing about a mother's waist, said belt having a first end and a second end, said first end being looped through a first buckle having said first end being attached to said belt for securing said belt to said first buckle, said second end being looped through a second buckle having said second end being free thereby facilitating said belt to be pulled through said second buckle for adjusting a length of said belt between said first buckle and said second buckle, said first buckle being matable to said second buckle thereby forming said belt into a closed loop of an adjustable diameter;
- a sleeve being positioned around said belt wherein said sleeve is configured to extend around the mother's waist when said belt is being worn, said sleeve defining a cushion chamber being centrally located on said belt, said sleeve having a slot extending through a back side of an outer wall of said sleeve, said slot being centrally positioned between a primary end and a secondary end of said sleeve, a front side of said outer wall having a central portion extending between a pair of sidelong portions which are each perpendicularly oriented with a respective one of a pair of flattened portions, each of said pair of flattened portions being associated with a respective one of said primary end and said secondary end of said sleeve, said central portion being perpendicularly oriented with said pair of sidelong portions such that said central portion lies on a plane being oriented parallel to said pair of flattened portions such that said cushion chamber is defined between said central portion and said back side of said outer wall having said cushion chamber being bounded by said pair of sidelong portions, said central portion extending upwardly beyond a top side of said outer wall which extends between said back side of said outer wall and said central portion to define a lip extending upwardly from said top side which extends along a full length of said central portion, said central portion having a hole extending into said cushion chamber, said hole being centrally located along said lip, said belt extending through each of said pair of flattened portions such that said first buckle is spaced from said primary end and said second buckle is spaced from said secondary end;
- a closure being integrated into said back side of said outer wall of said sleeve, said closure being oriented to extend along said slot, said closure opening or closing said slot when said closure is manipulated between an open condition or a closed condition;
- a cushion being positioned within said cushion chamber wherein said cushion is configured to facilitate a baby to be seated on said cushion chamber when said belt is worn around the mother's waist, said cushion having a prominence which extends upwardly from an intersection between a front surface of said cushion and a top surface of said cushion, said prominence extending into said lip defined on said sleeve, said cushion being removable from said cushion chamber through said slot in said back side of said outer wall of said sleeve, said cushion being comprised of a resiliently compressible material wherein said cushion is configured to simultaneously support the weight of the baby and enhance comfort for the baby;
- a first scarf being extendable through said cushion chamber in said sleeve such that said first scarf forms a pair of arms each having a length of at least 60.0 cm wherein each of said pair of arms is configured to be wrapped around the baby and the mother's torso thereby securing the baby to the mother's torso, said first scarf having a first end and a second end, said first scarf being knotted adjacent to each of said first end and said second end of said first scarf such that said first scarf tapers to a point at each of the first end and said second end of said first scarf, said first scarf being looped around said cushion having said first scarf extending into and outwardly from said hole in said lip defined in said sleeve such that said first end and said second end of said first scarf are aligned with each other, each of said arms defined in said first scarf being associated with a respective one of said first end and said second end of said first scarf, said pair of arms being extended through a loop defined in said first scarf where said first scarf exits said hole in said lip thereby inhibiting said first scarf from being removed from said cushion chamber;
- and
- a second scarf having a length being less than a length of said first scarf, said second scarf being wrappable around said first scarf when said first scarf is wrapped around the mother's torso wherein said second scarf is configured to facilitate the baby to be firmly secured against the mother's torso, said second scarf having a first end and a second end, said second scarf being knotted adjacent to each of said first end and second end of said second scarf such that said second scarf tapers to a point at each of the first end and said second end of said second scarf.
