Given I am 43 and fairly well-read I can assert that it has basically no
currency outside the US.
The native-American "papoose" back-board child carrier
was known to me in early childhood (and probably every
other kid enthralled by "Cowboys and Indians".

papoose.
So it seems that people within the US understand "papoose" as
referring to a child, and outside the US it refers to a child holder?

If I see an (American) Indian with a baby in a carrier strapped to her
back, I would describe that as a woman with a papoose.

However, if she removes the baby from the carrier and puts the baby on
a blanket on the ground, I would not say the baby is a "papoose".
