A child or animal carrier and a method of carrying a child or animal on the user's body are described in this invention. The carrier has two loops 1, 2 joined together by a connecting device with an optional sash. The method of carrying the child or animal involves wearing the loops 1, 2 and placing the child or animal in the loops 1, 2 in a variety of positions. In certain positions the child is carried vertically on the front of the user's torso and either faces the same direction as the user or faces inward toward the user's torso; or the child is carried vertically on the user's back facing toward the user's back. In other positions, a child or animal can be fully or partially cradled in the loops 1, 2. In another position, the child or animal is slung in the loops 1, 2 and carried against the user's hip or at the front of the user's torso. The connecting device allows the user to adjust the position of the loops 1, 2 for comfort and back support. In addition, the optional sash can be used to provide additional security for the child, and added comfort and support for the user and child. The carrier is easy to use and designed for the comfort of the user and comfort and security of the child or animal.

1. A method of carrying a child or animal, comprising: a. placing the child or animal in a carrier, the carrier comprising: a first continuous loop of material having a width;a second continuous loop of material having a width; anda free-standing connecting device made of a fabric material, wherein
1. A method of carrying a child or animal, comprising: a. placing the child or animal in a carrier, the carrier comprising: a first continuous loop of material having a width;a second continuous loop of material having a width; anda free-standing connecting device made of a fabric material, wherein the first continuous loop and the second continuous loop pass through an aperture defined within the connecting device;wherein each of the first and second continuous loops have a width in portions adjacent to the placed child or animal so that the child or animal can be cradled within at least one of the continuous loops; andb. manipulating the connecting device to adjust the carrier. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the first and second continuous loops are free-standing relative to each other. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein each of the first and second continuous loops are wide enough along their entire length so that the child or animal can be securely cradled within one of the loops. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the first continuous loop is adapted to pass over a right shoulder and underneath a left arm of a user, and the second continuous loop is adapted to pass over a left shoulder of the user and over the first continuous loop at a front overlap region located on a front side of the user's torso and underneath a right arm of the user and over the first continuous loop at a rear overlap region located on a rear side of the user's torso, and the connecting device is adapted to communicate with the first continuous loop and the second continuous loop along the rear overlap region. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the first continuous loop is adapted to pass over a left shoulder and underneath a right arm of a user, and the second continuous loop is adapted to pass over a right shoulder of the user and over the first continuous loop at a front overlap region located on a front side of the user's torso and underneath a left arm of the user and over the first continuous loop at a rear overlap region located on a rear side of the user's torso, and the connecting device is adapted to communicate with the first continuous loop and the second continuous loop along the rear overlap region. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the first continuous loop is adapted to pass over a right shoulder and underneath a left arm of a user, and the second continuous loop is adapted to pass over a left shoulder of the user and over the first continuous loop at a back overlap region located on a back side of the user's torso and underneath a right arm of the user and over the first continuous loop at a front overlap region located on a front side of the user's torso, and the connecting device is adapted to communicate with the first continuous loop and the second continuous loop along the front overlap region. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the first continuous loop is adapted to pass over a left shoulder and underneath a right arm of a user, and the second continuous loop is adapted to pass over a right shoulder of the user and over the first continuous loop at a back overlap region located on a back side of the user's torso and underneath a left arm of the user and over the first continuous loop at a front overlap region located on a front side of the user's torso, and the connecting device is adapted to communicate with the first continuous loop and the second continuous loop along the front overlap region. 8. A method of carrying a child or animal, comprising: a. placing the child or animal in a carrier worn by a user, the carrier comprising: a first continuous loop of fabric material having a substantially uniform width along its entire length;a second continuous loop of fabric material having a substantially uniform width along its entire length; anda free-standing connecting device made of a fabric material, wherein the first continuous loop and the second continuous loop pass through an aperture defined within the connecting device;wherein each of the first and second continuous loops have substantially uniform width such that the placed child or animal can be cradled within at least one of the continuous loops without regard to the orientation of the continuous loops worn by a user; andwherein the first continuous loop and the second continuous loop are separate, free-standing loops adapted to crisscross one another at a rear side of a user's torso and within the connecting device; andb. lifting the cradled child or animal by pulling down on the connecting device. 9. A method of carrying a child or animal, comprising: a. placing the child or animal in a carrier, the carrier comprising: a first continuous loop of fabric material having a width;a second continuous loop of fabric material having a width; anda free-standing connecting device made of a continuous loop of fabric material, wherein the first continuous loop and the second continuous loop pass through an aperture defined within the connecting device;wherein each of the first and second continuous loops are wide enough in portions in proximity to the placed child or animal that the child or animal can be securely cradled within at least one of the continuous loops; andwherein the connecting device has no buckles, clasps, snaps, rings, button, or metal or plastic hardware; andb. single-handedly manipulating the connecting device to adjust the carrier without unduly disturbing the child or animal. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein manipulating the connecting device to adjust the carrier comprises lifting the cradled child or animal by pulling down on the connecting device. 11. The method of claim 1, wherein the first and second continuous loops are formed of the same fabric material. 12. The method of claim 1, wherein the connecting device is a continuous loop of fabric material. 13. The method of claim 1, wherein the first and second continuous loops and the connecting device are made of the same fabric material. 14. The method of claim 8, wherein the first and second continuous loops are formed of the same fabric material. 15. The method of claim 8, wherein the connecting device is a continuous loop of fabric material. 16. The method of claim 8, wherein the first and second continuous loops and the connecting device are made of the same fabric material. 17. The method of claim 9, wherein the first and second continuous loops are formed of the same fabric material. 18. The method of claim 9, wherein the first and second continuous loops and the connecting device are made of the same fabric material.
