It is clean, and various small toys 52 can be arranged on it. More preferably, the small toys 52 are also made of flexible materials, so as to avoid causing harm to children sitting in the baby carrier 1 . The flexible cover 50 is difficult to support a tall or heavy large toy 54 , so the large toy 54 can be fixed to the second mounting hole 18 of the frame 10 through the first mounting hole 56 of the cover 50 . Of course, the baby carrier 1 can also omit the cover 50 and install various toys directly on the frame 10 .

The connection manner between the seat 20 and the frame 10 will be described in detail below, and referring to FIG. 2 , the frame 10 is elastically connected to the seat 20 . Specifically, the frame 10 is provided with several first connecting holes 14 distributed at intervals in the direction of the central hole 12, the number of the first connecting holes 14 is at least 2, such as 10 as shown in the figure, the seat 20 Several second connection holes (not shown) corresponding to the first connection holes 14 are opened on the top, and the number may also be 10. Then use several elastic bands 22 to connect the frame 10 with the seat 20, specifically, each elastic band 22 is passed through a first connecting hole 14 and a corresponding second connecting hole, thereby realizing the connection between the seat 20 and the seat 20. The elastic connection of the frame 10 can make the baby seated in the seat 20 float and bounce, which is soft, comfortable, natural and noiseless. Preferably, the seat 20 is surrounded by a seat rotating frame 24 (as shown in FIG. 2 ), the above-mentioned second connection hole is opened on the seat rotating frame 24, and the seat 20 is slidably connected with the seat rotating frame 24 , the seat 20 can rotate 360 degrees in the seat rotating frame 24 . Due to the detachable connection between the cover part 50 and the frame 10, the cover part 50 will cover the elastic connection part between the frame 10 and the seat 20, which has a beautiful appearance and increases the comfort of the child sitting on it.

The elastic connection of the seat 20 and the frame 10 can also be in other ways, such as setting a first ring (not shown) connected to the frame 10 in the central hole 12 and a ring connected to the seat 20 and surrounding the seat 20. The second ring (not shown), there is a gap between the first ring and the frame 10 for the elastic belt 22 to pass through, and there is also a gap between the second ring and the seat 20 for the elastic belt 22 Passing through the gap, the first ring member and the second ring member are respectively connected to the frame 10 and the seat rotating frame 24 through at least two connecting columns (not shown in the figure). The elastic belt 22 passes through the gap between the first ring member and the frame 10 and the gap between the second ring member and the seat swivel frame 24 respectively, and is wound on the first ring member and the second ring member, thereby being elastically connected. Frame 10 and seat 20. Preferably, the seat 20 is also slidably connected with the seat rotating frame 24, that is, the seat 20 can rotate in the seat rotating frame 24 or the second ring member, and the child sitting in the seat 20 can rotate 360 degrees to take Get the toy that is located at frame 10 all around, make bouncing more comfortable, natural simultaneously.

Of course, the elastic connection between the frame 10 and the seat 20 is not limited to the above-mentioned connection methods, and other methods that can realize the elastic connection between the frame 10 and the seat 20 are also applicable to the present invention.

As shown in Figures 1, 4 and 5, when the baby carrier 1 is to be used, the supporting legs 30 are in an unfolded state, that is, the upper supporting legs 32 and the lower supporting legs 34 are arranged in a straight line, and the foot support 40 is located at the bottom. The lower end of the support leg 34, that is, below the first hinge 37, makes the lower support leg 34 unable to rotate relative to the upper support leg 30. At this time, there is a certain distance between the frame 10 and the foot support 40, and the child can sit on the seat 20 with the feet placed On the foot support 40, the child can bounce on the foot support 40 by means of the elastic band 22. When it is suitable for a larger or smaller child, the foot support 40 is moved up and down relative to the supporting foot 30, because the seat 20 The height has not changed, so it does not affect the care of the caregiver. When the baby carrier 1 is not needed, the foot support 40 can be moved upward relative to the support foot 30, that is, the foot support 40 can be slid upwards along the lower support foot 34 until the foot support 40 passes the first link 37, and the lower support The leg 34 can pivot relative to the upper supporting leg 32 in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 4, so that the supporting leg 30 is in a folded state. Finally, as shown in FIG. Small, convenient for transportation. Preferably, the length of the upper support leg 32 is close to the height of the foot support 40. After the support legs 30 are folded, the foot support 40 is just sandwiched between the frame 10 and the lower support leg 34, so that The volume of the combined baby carrier 1 is more compact, and the cover part 50 can be removed and stored between the frame 10 and the foot support part 40, which is convenient for storage and transportation.
