3 tips when shopping for a baby carrier
An ergonomic baby carrier provides the baby with a comfortable seating, known as the M-position, where their bottom is positioned lower than their knees. The carrier should also support the natural curve of the baby's back, forming a C shape.
It's also important to follow the T.I.C.K.S acronym for baby carrier safety:
- tight
- in view at all times
- close enough to kiss
- keep chin off the chest
- supported back
Ergonomic baby carriers keep your baby comfortable and safe during your adventures together.
To avoid discomfort and strain when carrying your baby, choose a carrier that suits different body types. Here's the check list:
Hip belts. Provides better relief for your back and shoulders so you can carry your baby for longer periods.
Shoulder straps. Shouls be long enough to fit your body comfortably. Padded straps are more comfortable, but can be too bulky to wear under a jacket.
Crossed shoulder straps. Hugs your baby closer and distributes its weight more evenly.
When choosing a baby carrier, think about how and when you plan to use it:
For newborns, opt for a model that doesn't require an extra infant insert.
In warm weather, choose a carrier made of breathable mesh.
To carry older children, check the maximum weight limit and ensure the carrier panel is high enough for safe seating.
