An adjustable belt forms a loop around the body of the person at predetermined vertical position. The belt has a pair of releasable fasteners and a post. The belt fasteners are positioned at each end of the belt with the ability to connect to one another within a range of predetermined locations to adjust the diameter of the loop. A carrier receives and supports the baby. The carrier has a receptacle for receiving the belt post and a handle to facilitate gripping by the person. The carrier receptacle is positioned on the carrier for receiving the post to connect the carrier to the belt in a predetermined relation so that the baby is positioned at the ergonomic position substantially over the center of gravity and around the waist of the person so that the weight of the carrier is not concentrated at the lower back of the person.
