An adjustable handle for an infant carrier

An infant carrier configured to constitute a part of a safety car seat, the infant carrier comprising:

• a seat shaped to accommodate an infant;
• the seat comprising a seating portion, side walls extending upwards from the seating portion, and a back rest;
• a handle comprising:
• two elongate arms, each arm having a distal end and a proximal end, with a proximal portion of the arm defined adjacent the proximal end and a distal portion of the arm defined adjacent the distal end;
• and
• a grasping portion extending between the distal ends of the arms;
• pivot connections via which the proximal ends of the arms are pivotably mounted to said side walls so as to enable pivoting of the arms together with the grasping portion about a handle pivoting axis;
• the handle being pivotable between at least a first position and a second position which differ in an angle formed by at least the proximal portion of each of the elongate arms with a vertical reference plane comprising the handle pivoting axis;
• and
• a distance adjusting mechanism operably connected to each of the elongate arms and located, at least in part, at the corresponding pivot connection so that pivoting of the arms about said pivot connection actuates said mechanism to change a distance between the distal end of each of said elongate arms and said handle pivoting axis.
