The infant carrier frame provides additional comfortable lifting points
and a contoured shape facilitating easier holding or carrying. Handles
are included at the sides, the head end, and the foot end to provide
options to enable easier lifting, holding, and carrying in the varying
day-to-day circumstances typical of moving an infant around in an infant
carrier. The sides of the frame each are formed with an inwardly curved
recess. The outside of the recessed section of the frame is padded with a
soft cushion material having a textured surface to increase gripping
traction.
