Conventionally, the storable infant holder 100 and the infant backpack 110 are configured as described above. When the infant is put on the back, the buttocks of the infant are received by the bag portion 102 or 116. At that time, even if the infant is to be checked by turning his / her hand backward, the bag portion 102 or 116 is present. If there is an object in 102 or 116, there is a problem that an infant cannot be directly touched.
[0010]
In the infant holder 100 that can be accommodated, the width of the accommodating bag 102 is substantially the same as that of the back portion 101 in order to make the width of the holding portion for holding the infant as large as possible. Also, in the backpack 110 for infants, the width of the bag for storage was substantially the same as the backrest for the same reason.
[0011]
With such a width, there is a problem that the width at the time of the inverted storage is almost equal to the size of the original backrest portion, and it is difficult to be compact at the time of the storage.
[0012]
Further, in the case of the stowable infant holder 100 or the like, although it is stowed, a separate bag or the like is required to transport the stowed infant holder, and another member is necessary when going out with the infant. Was a problem.
[0013]
Further, as shown in FIG. 14, in the conventional holding device for infants, it is necessary to form the legs 113a, 113b, and 113c in order to hold the infant more safely, resulting in a problem that the configuration becomes complicated. There was a point.
[0014]
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and has as its object to provide an infant holder that can be stored much more compactly than before.
[0015]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
According to the present invention, a storable infant holding device for holding and transporting an infant has a bag portion for storing necessary elements when the infant holding device is used in a stored state. When using the infant holder, the bag is inverted and necessary elements are taken out during use, and when used, the bag is held by the infant holding cloth, which holds the infant vertically when used. The width of the bag portion is smaller than the predetermined width of the infant holding cloth.
[0016]
At the time of storage, the bag is turned over, and elements necessary for use are stored inside the bag. The width dimension of the bag is smaller than the width of the infant holding cloth, which is a predetermined dimension required for holding the infant, to which the bag is attached. It can be more compact than the dimensions.
[0017]
Preferably, the bag is sewn to an infant holding cloth.
[0018]
More preferably, the bag is sewn to the infant holding cloth via another cloth.
