Abstract:
1. A dual-purpose safety baby carrier, comprising: a seat, which has a bottom to which a cover is mounted to define therein a receiving chamber, the seat having a back on which an upper positioning section and a lower positioning section are mounted; a support assembly, which comprises two parallel upright tubes mounted to the back of the seat and a handle; a control bar, which is slidable with respect to the two upright tubes to selectively move to a location corresponding to the upper positioning section or the lower positioning section, the control bar comprising a guide slot and a guide slot in communication with a compartment; a safety switch, which is mounted to the control bar and comprises a push key slidably received in the compartment, the push key being biased by a first spring to extend out to selectively engage the upper positioning section or the lower positioning section, the safety switch comprising a push button slidably received in the guide slot, the push button being biased by a second spring to selectively lock the push key, whereby when the push button is moved against the second spring to a predetermined location, the push key is unlocked to allow the push key to overcome the first spring and release the engagement thereof with the upper positioning section or the lower positioning section; a wheel frame, which is coupled between the seat and the control bar, whereby when the control bar is moved upward to have the push key engage the upper positioning section, the wheel frame is retractable into the receiving chamber and the back of the seat to form a configuration of safety seat and when the control bar is moved downward to have the push key engage the lower positioning section, the wheel frame is expandable to form a configuration of a stroller; wherein the seat has left and right sides each provided with an armrest, each of the armrests having an outside surface to which a first coupling member is mounted, second coupling members being mounted to the back of the seat, the first and second coupling members each forming an engagement slot that is adapted to receive and couple a seat belt; each of the armrests has a top to which two raised retention plates that are spaced from each other are mounted, each of the first coupling members comprising a hook to directly fit, through a downward movement, to the corresponding armrest between the two retention plates and be bolted to securely fix the first coupling member.
