Soft-sided infant carrier convertible to hip carrier

A frameless infant carrier which converts from a front carrier to a hip carrier. The carrier includes a pouch for containing the infant, a waistbelt for adjustably connecting the pouch about the wearer's waist, a pair of shoulder straps attached to the pouch for supporting the infant on the shoulders of the wearer, and a pair of infant support straps connected between the front panel of the pouch and the shoulder straps. The infant support straps are adjustable to provide support for the upper portion of the pouch, and to draw the infant securely against the wearer. The carrier converts between alternate carrying positions by disconnecting each of the shoulder straps from the waistbelt, connecting the free ends of the shoulder straps to the infant support straps, slipping an arm of the wearer under a shoulder strap so that the shoulder strap slips off the shoulder of the wearer, and sliding the pouch laterally around the body of the wearer.
