An infant carrier is a type of baby transport designed for infants, typically weighing up to 30 pounds. It features a sturdy frame and a secure seat that allows parents to carry their babies safely and comfortably. Many models come with a handle for easy carrying and can often be attached to a stroller or used in a car with a compatible car seat base. Infant carriers are designed with safety in mind, often including features like a 5-point harness and side impact protection. They are lightweight and portable, making them convenient for parents on the go. Some carriers also have additional features, such as sunshades or storage compartments for baby essentials.
