Abstract
A baby carrier used for holding a baby in both face-to-face and forward-facing manners includes a carrier body 10 for accommodating a body of a baby and a wearing member 30 secured to the carrier body 10 for wearing the carrier body on a body of a user. The carrier body 10 includes at least a back rest 11 and is capable of accommodating and holding a baby in both a face-to-face holding manner in which the baby is held such that the back rest 11 is brought into contact with the back of the baby and a forward-facing holding manner in which the baby is held such that the back rest 11 is brought into contact with the chest and abdomen of the baby. The back rest 11 includes a width-reducing member 50 for reducing a width of a lower portion of the back rest 11, to be located between legs of the baby when the baby is held in a forward-facing holding manner.
