The present disclosure relates to baby products, and more particularly to an adjustable baby carrying harness.

Existing baby carrying harnesses can be divided into horizontal holding type, front carrying type, back carrying type, etc., according to different holding methods. Among them, the front carrying harness is most widely used due to its advantages facilitating operations and timely observation of babies.

In a front carrying harness, during a long time using, the user's shoulders will carry a larger load due to the baby's weight pulled forward. Moreover, in a cross-shaped formed by shoulder strap members crossed on back, the load on the user's shoulders can be partially dispersed on the back, thereby reducing the burden on the shoulders of the user and the fatigue of long-term use. Such shoulder strap members solve the problem of overloading on the user's shoulders to some extent; however, for users with different shoulder widths and different heights, in this kind of crossed shoulder strap members, because the position of the crossing point cannot be moved, positions of the shoulder strap members cannot be adjusted. Accordingly, users of different heights and shoulder widths cannot adjust or fix the crossing position to the best, so the purpose of reducing the burden on the user cannot be achieved.

As shown in, a baby carrying harnessof the disclosure includes a back carrying assemblythat may be worn on a user and a support sheetfor carrying a baby that is connected to the back carrying assembly. The back carrying assemblyincludes a waist memberand two shoulder strap members. A front end of each of the shoulder strap membersis connected to an upper part of the support sheet, and a rear end of each of the shoulder strap membersis connected to a middle of the support sheet. The two shoulder strap memberscrosswise and slidably pass through a shoulder strap fixing member, and the shoulder strap membersare arranged crossed on the back of the user by the shoulder strap fixing member. A crossing position of the two shoulder strap membersis adjusted by sliding of the shoulder strap fixing member, and at the same time, by sliding of the shoulder strap fixing member, an adjustment of the distance between the two shoulder strap membersis realized. The waist memberis connected to a lower part of the support sheet. By arranging the shoulder strap membersin a crossed structure according to the disclosure, not only the loads on the shoulders of the user are well distributed on the user's back, but also the shoulder strap membersare effectively prevented from slipping off, so the shoulder strap membersare safe and reliable. At the same time, by sliding of the shoulder strap fixing member, the crossing position of the two shoulder strap membersmay be adjusted in real time. Accordingly, users with different shoulder widths and different heights may adjust the crossing position of the two shoulder strap members, such that the crossing position of the two shoulder strap membersmay be adjusted and fixed to a carrying position to carry load that is suitable for the user's own conditions, so the shoulders, backs and waists of the users may be uniformly stressed at the same time, and the burden on the user's shoulders may be reduced and the user's fatigue feeling may be delayed.

As shown in, specifically, the shoulder strap fixing memberhas two crosswise channels for the two shoulder strap membersto slidably pass through correspondingly, and the two shoulder strap membersaccordingly sliding through the channels crosswise. Preferably, the shoulder strap fixing memberis in a hollow structure, and the shoulder strap fixing memberdefines four through holes respectively penetrating the hollow structure in two crossing directions, i.e., a first through hole, a second through hole, a third through hole, and a fourth through hole. Among them, the first through holeand the second through holeare directly opposite, the third through holeand the fourth through holeare directly opposite, and the two through holes directly opposite to each other are used for the same shoulder strap memberto pass through.

As shown in, specifically, the shoulder strap fixing memberof the disclosure is in a diamond structure. More specifically, a larger inner angle of the diamond structure of the shoulder strap fixing memberof the disclosure is 105°. When selecting a material for the shoulder strap fixing member, it is necessary to take both flexibility and rigidity into account, so as to satisfy requirements of both the comfort of the user and the stability of the structure. Specifically, the shoulder strap fixing memberneeds to strengthen rigidity at a position close to the crossing point of the shoulder straps. For example, the shoulder strap fixing memberof the disclosure is made of a TPE material. An inner side of the shoulder strap fixing memberis covered with an ABS material layer, so as to improve a hardness of the structure of the shoulder strap fixing member, thereby improving a firmness and durability of the baby carrying harness.

As shown in, specifically, each of the shoulder strap membersis in an adjustable length structure, and users with different shoulder widths and different heights may adaptively adjust the lengths of the shoulder strap membersaccording to their actual conditions, so as to achieve a best posture. Specifically, the upper part of the support sheetand the front end of each of the two shoulder strap membersare in a detachable structure. Specifically, the front end of each of the shoulder strap membersis detachably connected to the upper part of the support sheetby a first fixing bucklethat is adjustable in length and capable of being snap-fit connected. Specifically, the first fixing buckleincludes a male buckleand a female bucklesnap-fit connected to the male buckle. Both ends of the upper part of the support sheetare respectively connected to the male buckle. A bottom of the male buckleis connected to an “” shaped buckle(the “|” shaped buckleis a common buckle used for adjusting the length of a weaved strap). The female bucklesnap-fit connected to the male buckleis fixed to the front end of one of the two shoulder strap members. By snap-fit connection of the male buckleand the female buckle, a detachable connection between the upper part of the support sheetand the front ends of the two shoulder strap membersis achieved. More specifically, the “” shaped buckleis connected to a weaved strap structure, and a connection length between the upper part of the support sheetand the front end of one of the shoulder strap membersmay be adjusted by sliding of the “” shaped buckleon the weaved strap structure. Of course, the first fixing bucklemay also be a convenient and practical buckle such as a plug-in buckle, a snap buckle, a magic tape, a fixing buckle and a fixing hole, and the like. The first fixing bucklemay facilitate the user to disassemble and separate the upper part of the support sheetfrom the front ends of the two shoulder strap members. In using, the user only needs to hold the baby to the front of his/her body, then use the support sheetto cover the baby, and close the first fixing buckle, so a single person can complete the entire process of carrying the baby.

As shown in, a rear end of each of the shoulder strap memberand one end of the waist memberare in a weaved strap structure, the rear end of each of the shoulder strap membersis detachably connected to the middle of the support sheetby a second fixing bucklethat is adjustable in length and may be snap-fit connected. Both ends of the waist memberare detachably connected by a third fixing bucklethat is adjustable in length and may be snap-fit connected. Specifically, each of the second fixing bucklesincludes a male buckleand a female bucklethat is snap-fit connected to the male buckle. Each of the rear ends of the two shoulder strap membersis connected to one male buckleby one “” shaped buckle, respectively. A length of each of the shoulder strap membersis adjusted by sliding of the “” shaped buckleon the weaved strap structure. The female bucklessnap-fit connected to the male bucklesare fixed on both sides of the middle of the support sheet. By the snap-fit connections of the male bucklesand the female buckles, the detachable connections between the rear ends of the shoulder strap membersand the middle of the support sheetare achieved. The third fixing buckleincludes a male buckleand a female bucklethat is snap-fit connected to the male buckle, and one end of the waist memberis connected to one male buckleby one “” shaped buckle. By sliding of the “” shaped buckleon the weaved strap structure, a length of the waist memberis adjusted. The female bucklesnap-fit connected to the male buckleis fixed to the other one end of the waist member. By the snap-fit connection of the male buckleand the female buckle, detachable connections of the two ends of the waist memberare achieved. Of course, the second fixing buckleor the third fixing bucklemay also be a convenient and practical buckle such as a plug-in buckle, a snap buckle, a magic tape, a fixing buckle and a fixing hole, and the like.

As shown in, according to the disclosure, an adjustable fixing bucklefor adjusting a width and a height of the support sheetis disposed in the connection between the waist memberand the lower part of the support sheet. The adjustable fixing bucklehas a buckling state and an unlocking state, and the width and the height of the support sheetare smaller when the adjustable fixing buckleis in the buckling state than the width and the height of the support sheetwhen the adjustable fixing buckleis in the unlocking state. As shown in, the adjustable fixing buckleis in the unlocking state, both the width and the height of the lower part of the support sheetare relatively large, so a larger baby may be covered. As shown in, the adjustable fixing buckleis in the buckling state, such that both the width and the height of the lower part of the support sheetare reduced, so it may be used for a smaller baby. More specifically, the adjustable fixing bucklemay include a drawstring, and cooperatively a buttonand a fixing ring. When the buttonis buckled in the fixing ring, the drawstringpulls the support sheetto fold to reduce its width and height. When the buttonis separated from the fixing ringto be unlocked, the support sheetrestores to its original width and height. Of course, the adjustable fixing bucklemay also be a convenient and practical buckle such as a plug-in buckle, a snap or a magic tape or the like. The adjustable fixing bucklemay adaptively adjust the width and height of the support sheetaccording to the changes of the baby's body shape at different ages, which is more suitable for the baby's body shape, and especially supports the baby's buttocks and legs more firmly, thereby providing a safer and more comfortable seating experience.

According to the disclosure, the shoulder strap membersof the baby carrying harnessare crossed in respect to each other on the back of the user by the shoulder strap fixing member, such a crossed structure not only distributes the load on the user's shoulders to the user's back, but also effectively prevents the shoulder strap membersfrom slipping off, so as to improve the stability and firmness of the front carrying harness, and ensure that the baby is kept in a more stable position, thereby ensuring the safety of the baby. On the other hand, in the baby carrying harnessof the disclosure, the crossing position of the two shoulder strap membersare adjusted through sliding of the shoulder strap fixing member, so users with different shoulder widths and different heights may adaptively adjust the crossing position of the two shoulder strap membersaccording to their actual conditions, such that the crossing position of the two shoulder strap membersmay be adjusted and fixed to a carrying position suitable for the user's own conditions, such that the shoulders, backs and waists of the users may be uniformly stressed at the same time, the burden on the user's shoulders may be reduced and the user's fatigue feeling may be delayed.

As shown in, according to the second embodiment of disclosure, the upper part of the support sheetand the front ends of the two shoulder strap members′ are in an integrated structure, and both ends of the upper part of the support sheetrespectively extend independently to form the two shoulder strap members′. In using, the two shoulder strap members′ are wound to the front and are detachably connected to the middle of the support sheetby the second fixing bucklewhose length is adjustable and may be snap-fit connected. Of course, the upper part of the support sheetand the front ends of the two shoulder strap members′ may also be fixedly connected to each other by sewing to form an integrated structure, however, the disclosure is not limited to the specific method for achieving the integrated structure of the upper part of the support sheetand the front ends of the two shoulder strap members′. The integrated structure may reduce the use of buckle components, makes the overall structure of the baby carrying harnessmore concise and convenient for storage and carrying.

As shown in, according to the third embodiment of the disclosure, the back carrying assemblyfurther includes a transition buckle, a sliding buckle, and side shoulder straps. The transition buckleis connected to the waist member. The rear end of each of the shoulder strap memberschanges direction by sliding through the transition buckleand then connects to the middle of the support sheet. The sliding buckleslidably passes through the rear end of one of the shoulder strap members. The sliding buckleis connected to a rear end of each of the side shoulder straps, and a front end of each of the side shoulder strapsis connected to the upper part of the support sheet. Moreover, the rear end of each of the side shoulder strapsis slidably connected to the rear end of one of the shoulder strap membersby the sliding buckle. Specifically, the side shoulder strapsand the support sheetform an integrated structure. The rear end of each of the shoulder strap membersforms a transitional connection with the waist memberthrough the transition buckle, such that the shoulder strap membershave a larger stressed area, and further reduces the burden on the user's shoulders and waist, such that the user's shoulders, back and waist are more uniformly stressed at the same time. The side shoulder strapsfurther strengthens the connection between the support sheetand the shoulder strap members, effectively preventing the baby from sliding off the side of the baby carrying harness, thereby further ensuring the safety of the baby. Specifically, the rear end of each of the shoulder strap membersis in the weaved strap structure, and the weaved strap structureslidably passes through the waist member.

As shown in, in the baby carrying harnessof the disclosure, the shoulder strap membersare crossed on the user's back through the shoulder strap fixing member, which may well disperse the load on the user's shoulders to the user's back, and effectively prevent the shoulder strap membersfrom slipping off, so as to improve the stability and firmness of the front carrying harness, and ensure that the baby is kept in a more stable position, thereby ensuring the safety of the baby. On the other hand, the baby carrying harnessof the disclosure may adjust the crossing position of the two shoulder strap membersby sliding of the shoulder strap fixing member, so users of different shoulder widths and different heights may adaptively adjust the crossing position of the two shoulder strap membersaccording to their own actual conditions, such that the shoulders, backs and waists of the users may be uniformly stressed at the same time, the burden on the user's shoulders may be reduced and the user's fatigue feeling may be delayed. Moreover, by the snap-fit connections between the male buckles and the female buckles of the first fixing buckle, the second fixing buckle, and the third fixing buckle, quick detached separations between various components may be achieved, such that the operation to carry the baby by using the baby carrying harnesswill be more convenient and quicker; furthermore, the adjustable fixing bucklemay adaptively adjust the width and height of the support sheetaccording to changes in the body shapes of babies of different ages, so the baby carrying harnessis more versatile.
