Baby Carrier
A baby carrier comprising a harness which includes a baby carrying pouch and which comprises a flexible sheet-like front piece that has an upper edge part which can be folded about a generally horizontal fold axis between a first position in the sheet-like surface of the front piece and a downwardly folded second position against the outer surface of a lower part of the front piece, wherein means are provided for releasably securing a respective side part of the upper edge part of the front piece to a respective adjacent part of the harness in said first and said second positions. The upper edge part of the front piece includes a stiffening that extends from the fold axis in a direction towards the free edge extending generally parallel with sad edge part.
