Abstract

An infant carrier apparatus comprises a support frame, a handle assembly having two side segments, two handle adjusting mechanisms pivotally connecting the two side segments of the handle assembly with the support frame, a release actuator and two transmission elements. Each of the handle adjusting mechanisms has a locked state for securely holding the handle assembly in place relative to the support frame, and an unlocked state allowing rotation of the handle assembly about a pivot axis relative to the support frame. Each of the transmission elements has a first and second distal end, wherein the first distal end is connected with one of the handle adjusting mechanisms, and the second distal end is connected with the release actuator. The release actuator is operable to switch the handle adjusting mechanisms from the locked state to the unlocked state.
