Abstract
A supplemental support for infant carrier handle has top and bottom clamshells and a retention strap assembly. An upper arm support and a safety lanyard assembly can also be incorporated. In order to install the supplemental support on an infant carrier handle, the retention strap is initially tightened over the handle. Once the retention strap is initially snug, the user can push the bottom clamshell upwards towards the top clamshell, hinging the supplemental support into a closed configuration. Because of the unique function of the clamshell hinge, the hinging action tightens the retention strap even further upon closing. The bottom and top clamshells can then lock together. The supplemental support for infant carrier handle is thereby securely locked onto the infant carrier's handle and the user can simply place the bottom clamshell on his or her forearm and proceed to securely and comfortably carry the infant carrier.
