A CARRIER FOR BABY

NOTHING MORE USEFUL

Nothing is more useful than a carrier for transporting a baby, either by car, bus, or train. In the shops carriers made of kid in pretty pastel colours are attractive but expensive.

Here is a way to make a workmanlike and delightful carrier at home, which will cost very little.

You need pieces of deck chair canvas doubled (you can get it in charmingly coloured stripes nowadays), cut

to the size you require. Stiffen them by slipping in pieces of plywood and sew them round a plywood bottom also cover on both sides with the canvas.

Fasten the double pieces of • canvas together with large press studs, in order to hold the plywood in place, and make handles of coloured webbing.

When the carrier is not in use the plywood sides may be taken out and the pieces put flat into a little case made of the canvas, so that it may be stored neatly and unobtrusively.
