## Abstract

An infant carrier and implement storage assembly provides for comfortable and safe carrying of an infant and necessary implements needed for caring for the infant. The assembly includes a pocket having a front panel, a rear panel, a closed bottom end, an open top, a first side, and a second side. The first side and second side each extend between the bottom end and the open top. A pair of leg apertures extends through the front panel proximate the bottom end of the pocket to receive legs of an infant positioned in the pocket. A first strap is coupled to the rear panel of the pocket for coupling the pocket to a person. A first side closure and second side closure are each coupled to and extend along opposite side of the pocket to allow use of the pocket in an open position as a changing pad.
