[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A system for releasably mounting an infant carrier to a separate infant carrier support device disposed below the carrier, the system comprising:a carrier which includes a head end, foot end and a pair of spaced sides connecting said ends;a coupling member extending outward from and for a portion of the length of each side of said carrier, said member being integrally formed in said carrier and sized and configured to form a discrete pocket located substantially centrally of said carrier sides; and,said second support device including a pair of spaced mounting posts extending upward from said second device, each post having a length, width, and depth and sized and configured to be received within a pocket in said carrier coupling member,each pocket comprising means for receiving a post and having an open end through which said post is inserted into said pocket;said post and pocket being dimensioned and configured so that said post substantially fills said pocket to provide a snug fit;said pocket open end having an area substantially corresponding to the cross-sectional area of the pocket adjacent said open end whereby said carrier is adapted to be coupled to said second support device solely by disposing said mounting posts into the corresponding pockets in the carrier coupling members whereby said infant carrier is coupled to the second support device and said coupling members each permit said carrier to be freely lifted vertically from said bases; and,said coupling member posts and pockets being free of any positive latching means.
