Abstract
An infant seat (which is also known as an infant carrier) includes a shell having sidewalls and a handle having arms attached to the sidewalls. A cushion pad may be attached to an arm and partially defines an inwardly-facing surface of the arm. Preferably this cushion pad contacts the crook of an elbow of a user who is carrying the infant seat by wrapping the crook of the elbow around the first arm of the handle. Another cushion pad may be attached to either the outwardly-facing surface of the shell or the similarly-facing surface portion of the arm. Preferably, this cushion pad contacts the hip of the user.
