Baby sling

Abstract

A baby sling includes an infant holding part 10 that holds an infant in which the infant holding part 10 has a maximum width W that corresponds to a central part in a longitudinal direction of the baby sling and a gradually decrease in width between both sides in the longitudinal direction of the baby sling, wherein both sides in the longitudinal direction of the baby sling consists of outer parts 11 that are formed of a knitted fabric “A” which has a low elasticity in a width direction which is at right angle to the longitudinal direction of the baby sling and a center side in the longitudinal direction of the baby sling consists of an inner part 12 that is formed of a knitted fabric “B” which has a high elasticity in the width direction which is at right angle to the longitudinal direction of the baby sling. Thereby, the infant's body weight is applied to the inner part 12 that is formed of the high elastic knitted fabric “B” while both sides in the longitudinal direction of the baby sling are guarded with the outer part 11 that is formed of the low elastic knitted fabric “A”. Therefore, the baby sling can stably hold the infant. Accordingly, a safe and secure baby sling can be provided.

1 . A baby sling including:
 an infant holding part that receives an infant's body;   a shoulder pad part that gives a sense how much the infant weighs to a shoulder of a person who carries the infant; and   a belt part that gives the sense of the infant's body weight that is applied to the infant holding part to the shoulder pad part integrally knitted together to form an annular shape;   the infant holding part having a maximum width that corresponds to a width in a direction which is at right angle to a longitudinal direction of a central part in a circumferential direction of an annular body and a gradually decrease in width between both sides in the longitudinal direction of the annular body in which both sides in the longitudinal direction of the annular body are formed of a knitted fabric that has a low elasticity in the longitudinal direction of the annular body and a center side in the longitudinal direction of the annular body is formed of a knitted fabric that has a high elasticity in a width direction which is at right angle to at least the longitudinal direction of the annular body;   the belt part formed of a low elastic knitted fabric that is connected to both ends in a longitudinal direction of the infant holding part;   the shoulder pad part formed of both a low elastic knitted fabric that is connected to both ends of the belt part and a knitted fabric, which is formed inside the shoulder pad part, having a high elasticity in the width direction which is at right angle to at least the longitudinal direction of the annular body.
