What is claimed is: 1. A baby bag that is convertible to a baby carrier, comprising: (a) a base that is movable between, (i) a folded configuration defining a baby bag for storage and transport thereof, and (ii) an unfolded configuration defining a baby carrier for receiving a baby thereon; and (b

What is claimed is: 1. A baby bag that is convertible to a baby carrier, comprising: (a) a base that is movable between, (i) a folded configuration defining a baby bag for storage and transport thereof, and (ii) an unfolded configuration defining a baby carrier for receiving a baby thereon; and (b) a harness connected to said base for restraining a baby received upon said base when said base is in said unfolded configuration, said harness configured to restrain a baby such that a back of the baby is maintained in close proximity to said base; (c) wherein said base includes first and second rigid planar members coupled together and movable, (i) from a first position, corresponding to said base being in the unfolded configuration, (A) wherein said first and second rigid members are disposed in coplanar relation to one another, with proximal ends thereof spaced apart from one another, and (B) wherein said first and second rigid members are configured to support a baby received upon said base, (ii) to a second position, corresponding to said base being in the folded configuration, (A) wherein said first and second rigid members are disposed in spaced parallel relation to one another, and (B) wherein said first and second rigid members define therebetween an interior space; (d) wherein said base comprises a third member that is rigid and planar and that extends between and connects said first rigid member and said second rigid member; and (e) wherein overextension of said base is prevented by abutment of an overlapping portion of said first rigid member with said third rigid member, and abutment of an overlapping portion of said second rigid member with said third rigid member. 2. The baby bag of claim 1, wherein the moving of said base from the folded configuration to the unfolded configuration includes rotating said first rigid member relative to said third member, and rotating said second rigid member relative to said third member. 3. The baby bag of claim 1, wherein said first and second rigid members are parallel to, but not coplanar with, said third rigid member when said first and second rigid members are in their said respective abutment with said third rigid member for preventing overextension of said base. 4. The baby bag of claim 1, further comprising a shoulder strap removably attached to said base proximate said third member. 5. The baby bag of claim 1, wherein said base is cushioned for receiving a baby in comfort. 6. The baby bag of claim 1, wherein said baby bag includes a plurality of pockets, and wherein at least one said pocket is disposed on a member that is connected to said base for hinging movement relative thereto. 7. The baby bag of claim 1, wherein said baby bag includes a plurality of pockets, and wherein at least one said pocket is dimensioned to receive a mobile phone. 8. The baby bag of claim 1, wherein said baby bag includes a plurality of pockets, and wherein at least one said pocket is dimensioned to receive a baby bottle, said pocket being disposed on the outside of said baby bag when said base is in said folded configuration. 9. The baby bag of claim 1, wherein said baby bag includes a plurality of pockets, and wherein at least one said pocket is dimensioned to receive an umbrella when said base is in said unfolded configuration for shading of a baby received upon said base. 10. The baby bag of claim 1, wherein said baby bag further comprises a canopy for covering of a baby when received on said base. 11. The baby bag of claim 1, further comprising an anchor strap connected to said base proximate said third member for receipt there through of a belt. 12. A method of using the convertible baby bag of claim 1 for carrying a baby, comprising the steps of, (a) converting the baby bag to the baby carrier by moving the base into the unfolded configuration; (b) placing a baby upon the base in the unfolded configuration; (c) restraining the baby to the base using the harness such that a back of the baby is maintained adjacent the base; and (d) carrying the base with the baby restrained to the base. 13. The baby bag of claim 1, wherein said baby bag further comprises a collapsible wall attached to and extending around a perimeter of said base for encircling a baby received upon said base when said base is in said unfolded configuration, said wall collapsing toward said base when said base is moved into said folded configuration. 14. The baby bag of claim 13, wherein said collapsible wall includes sections comprising mesh. 15. The baby bag of claim 1, wherein said baby bag further comprises a cushion for partially surrounding a baby's head when received upon said base. 16. The baby bag of claim 15, wherein said cushion is removably attached to said base via hook-and-loop fasteners. 17. The baby bag of claim 1, wherein said baby bag further comprises a blanket for covering of a baby received upon said base. 18. The baby bag of claim 17, wherein said blanket is removably attached to said base via hook-and-loop fasteners. 19. A baby bag that is convertible to a baby carrier, comprising: (a) a base that is movable between (i) a folded configuration for storage and transport of the baby bag, and (ii) an unfolded configuration for receiving a baby; and (b) a shoulder strap attached to said base when said base is in said unfolded configuration for suspension of said base, whereby a baby received upon said base may be carried by a person utilizing said shoulder strap; (c) wherein said base includes first and second rigid planar members coupled together and movable, (i) from a first position, corresponding to said base being in the unfolded configuration, (A) wherein said first and second rigid members are disposed in coplanar relation to one another, with proximal ends thereof spaced apart from one another, and (B) wherein said first and second rigid members are configured to support a baby received upon said base, (ii) to a second position, corresponding to said base being in the folded configuration, (A) wherein said first and second rigid members are disposed in spaced parallel relation to one another, and (B) wherein said first and second rigid members define therebetween an interior space; (d) wherein said base comprises a third member that is rigid and planar and that extends between and connects said first rigid member and said second rigid member; and (e) wherein overextension of said base is prevented by abutment of an overlapping portion of said first rigid member with said third rigid member, and abutment of an overlapping portion of said second rigid member with said third rigid member. 20. A method of using the convertible baby bag of claim 19 for carrying a baby, comprising the steps of, (a) converting the baby bag to the baby carrier by moving the base into the unfolded configuration; (b) placing a baby upon the base in the unfolded configuration; and (c) suspending the base and the baby placed thereon by the shoulder strap.
