Summary
The invention related to a baby carrier with a chest strap which included a cover. The cover had an indicated to indicate a back side surface from a front side surface so that in use the user could check that the strap was not twisted. The examiner cited three prior art documents, two relating to baby carriers with chest straps with covers and the third relating to an infant’s vehicle restraint strap which included a cover with a buckle guard. The hearing officer found that this buckle guard could serve as an indicator but nevertheless it would not be obvious to the person skilled in the art to combine the teaching of this document with the teaching of either of the first two documents. He therefore concluded that the application may be forwarded for grant.
