An infant carrier is provide, which includes a frame having a rotating knob at each side, a handle having both ends connected to the respective rotating knobs of the frame, and a connection mechanism mounted at the bottom of the frame. The infant carrier is characterized by a gripping device provided on the handle. The gripping device includes wires and a wire-actuating device for tightening or loosening the wires extending along the length of the handle, entering into the bottom of the frame via the rotating knobs, and extending in the direction towards the connection mechanism. When the wire-actuating device tightens or loosens the wires, the connection mechanism is actuated to move between a first position wherein the connection mechanism is released from the mounting bracket, and a second position wherein the connection mechanism engages the mounting bracket.
