What is a Baby Carrier?
A baby sling or baby carrier is generally made of soft fabrics that wrap around the chest. They provide comfort and support for the baby and allow the parent or carer to keep their hands free as they go about their everyday tasks.

Which month baby carrier is best?
4-7 Months Old
For younger babies, the facing-in position may be best, but as your baby gains more head and neck control, you can switch them to facing out. Many baby carriers, like those offered at Infantino, are convertible and can be used for both carrying positions.
How many types of baby carriers are there?
There are basically 5 types of baby carriers: wrap, ring sling, pouch, soft-structured carrier (also called buckle carrier), meh dai (mei-tai), and backpack.
Which baby carrier is safest?\
The best carriers are the ones that allow for even distribution of the baby’s weight across the wearer’s body. Here I can recommend using wraps (Boba Wrap or Baby K’tan Wrap) or buckle carriers with adjustable straps and wide waistband (like Baby Tula Free-to-Grow, Lillebaby Complete, or Ergobaby Omni 360).
Why are baby carriers so expensive?
It is worth doing some research; such carriers are often more expensive than supermarket or online options, as you would expect, due to the time spent on their design, as well as their comfort, sturdiness, and longevity.
