Baby Carriers : Information and Guideline for purchasing Baby Carriers


Baby Carriers

From the past 30 years of research, it has been proved that ‘Baby wearing’ or carrying a baby in a cloth promotes bonding and responsibility of the parent.

Baby carriers have become an essential part of our day to day life for parents who work for maximum time and remain in the house only for a short while. This is because the baby carriers keep the baby close while other works are being done. Nowadays there are different baby carriers in the market with different styles.

Baby carriers are classified basically as sling baby carriers, front-pack baby Carriers and back pack carriers. Sling, pouches and hip carriers are adoptable to carry twins. Another important thing is to choose the type of carrier suitable for the baby’s age. There have been accidents involving babies who are just 2 months older in soft carriers and back packs.

One must look into the manufacture’s specification regarding the product.

You must practice perfectly before handling the child in the carrier. When you start wearing your baby you must first support with the hands and make comfortable until you become confident. If using single shoulder baby carriers, it is necessary to change the positions. Also you must support your baby when you bend over. You must be well trained in back pack carriers than front ones and need good practice over it.

We must be very careful about the fact that child’s spine is not damaged because of the improper use of the carriers.

Spondylolisthesis is a condition experienced by the child’s spine that can affect the lower back.

Now the way to select your best carrier is to see your budget, lifestyle and needs. There are many carriers available and also it can be easily done.

Carriers can be used immediately after baby is born, as long as you get one that has an infant head support. McLaren makes one that's great and you can take the infant support out when your baby can hold his/her head up. And they don't affect leg shape of the baby as most people think. Babies are naturally bow-legged for most of the first year.


Carriers for New Born Baby
For a newborn child it is said that the pack style carriers cause pelvis and hip pain in the baby. Ultimate Baby Wrap is good, but the baby does droop because the material is stretchy. If you want to carry the baby on two shoulders, a wrap is the way to go. Asian back carriers also use both shoulders. And often snugly is being used because they do not bend at the waist.

Baby Bjorn carrier can be given 5 stars as it is everything a carrier should be - it is good quality, easy to use (once you initially work out where all the bits clip in), feels secure, and looks good. It adapts for younger and older babies and the baby can face in or out. The design of it also means that with a bit of practice you can lay your baby down and unclip them out of the carrier without waking them up. This feature is excellent, especially if the whole point of taking them out for a walk in the first place was to get them to sleep! I had an emergency cesarean and found that I could use the Baby Bjorn right away without rubbing against or putting strain on my scar. This is because with a Baby Bjorn the baby sits up high, against your chest, and the weight is taken totally by your shoulders and back.
