1. A child carrier system for simultaneously carrying two children of the same or different sizes, the carrying being by only a first person in a first configuration and the carrying being by the first person and a second person in a second configuration, the system comprising: a first child carrier portion comprising a first carrier pouch attached at its bottom to a waist support; a second child carrier portion comprising a second carrier pouch attached at its bottom to the waist support in the first configuration; shoulder straps; and second shoulder straps independent of any child carrier portions in the first configuration and independent of any waist support such that the second shoulder straps are not directly connected to any waist support in either the first or second configuration; wherein the first child carrier portion and the second child carrier portion are configured to be secured to and between the shoulder straps and to be directly opposite one another when both are secured to the shoulder straps in the first configuration; wherein at least one of the first child carrier pouch and the second child carrier pouch is configured to extend behind the shoulder straps, such that a heavy weight in the opposite child carrier that presses the shoulder straps tightly against a wearer does not compress a child therein against the wearer in the first configuration; and wherein each of the first and second carrier pouches is curved towards a wearer to prevent a child inserted therein from facing away from the wearer and is configured to hold a child in a seated straddle position, wherein the second child carrier portion is configured for complete removal from the shoulder straps; and wherein the second child carrier portion is configured for attachment to the second shoulder straps to create an independent child carrier worn by the second person in the second configuration.
