Patent ID: 7070076

Claim:
A child-supporting shoulder harness for carrying a baby comprising a harness arrangement that includes chest straps and a front piece, said front piece being flexible at least in an upper portion thereof, and a lower portion of said front piece being connected to the lower part of the harness and connected at its laterally separated side edges with the chest straps such as to form a child-carrying pouch, a connecting device of selectively adjustable length having a first end-part and a second end-part that are connected to the front piece at positions that are mutually spaced laterally and that have a substantial mutual distance, said connecting device including a strap arrangement located at lateral end-parts of an upper edge portion of said front piece on an exterior side thereof when positioned for use, said connecting device further including an adjustment fitting with a pull strap that enables the effective distance between said two end-parts to be set selectively, said strap arrangement being configured such that shortening of said effective distance with said pull strap deforms said lateral end-parts of the upper edge portion of said front piece to reduce a wedging action between a wearer's chest and the baby's head and provide a comfortable lateral head support for said baby.
