Abstract
The research is regarding the analysis about the Ergonomics Design of Baby Carrier. The objectives, scopes and also problem statements have been identified on the current baby carriers in the market. There are plenty of baby carriers these days on the market such as baby slings, baby wrap and backpack baby carrier. A lot of parents tend to put the baby in the incorrect position. An ergonomic carrier allows parents to wear baby on the front, back and hip and ensures that the baby is placed in the anatomically correct position for a healthy spine and hip development. Some carriers have openings where the baby‟s thighs hang almost straight down. Then the selection of material also important in order gives comfort to the baby and parents. This project objective is to analyze ergonomics aspect in the current design of baby carriers. Then to study on the standard and legal issues related to children design. In addition, the needs to improve a design of baby carrier for safety and ergonomics. Therefore, benchmarking and anthropometric analysis have been carried out to differentiate between three types of baby carrier which are baby sling, baby wrap and back pack carrier in terms of dimension and ergonomic characteristics. By using RULA Analysis, the result showed that the current baby carrier has the ergonomic characteristics, however they are still insufficient. This is because the result that is get is acceptable to the user but needs to investigate further with the score 3. Therefore, it is highly recommended that further studies for this ergonomics baby carrier should be carried out in order to improve the design and at the same time, will make the product more useful for users.
