Types of Baby Carrier
- Structured carriers (SSCs) – Buckle-fastened carriers with padded waistbands and shoulder straps. Easy to put on and take off, adjustable for different wearers, and suitable from newborn (with an infant insert) to toddler. The most popular choice for everyday use.
- Wrap carriers – A long piece of stretchy or woven fabric that you tie around yourself and your baby. Excellent for newborns due to the close, snug hold. Steeper learning curve but highly versatile once mastered.
- Ring slings – A length of fabric threaded through two rings, worn over one shoulder. Quick to adjust and easy to use for short carries. Suitable from newborn.
- Hip carriers – Designed for older babies and toddlers who can sit unaided. Lightweight and quick to use for short trips.
How to Choose the Right Baby Carrier
- Age & weight – Check the carrier's minimum age and weight. Many structured carriers require an infant insert for newborns under 3.5–4kg.
- Ergonomic position – Look for an M-position (frog-leg) seat that supports your baby's hips and spine correctly. This is the recommended position by paediatric hip specialists.
- Ease of use – If you'll be putting the carrier on and off multiple times a day, a structured buckle carrier is usually the most practical.
- Sharing between wearers – Structured carriers with adjustable straps are easiest to share between two adults of different sizes.
- TICKS guidelines – Always follow the TICKS safe babywearing guidelines: Tight, In view at all times, Close enough to kiss, Keep chin off chest, Supported back.

Frequently Asked Questions
Many baby carriers are suitable from birth, though some structured carriers require an infant insert for newborns under 3.5–4kg. Always check the specific carrier's minimum weight and age guidance. Wrap carriers and ring slings are often the best choice for very young newborns as they provide a particularly close, snug hold. Most carriers are suitable up to around 15–20kg (approximately 3–4 years), though this varies by model.
Yes – baby carriers are safe for newborns when used correctly and following the TICKS guidelines: Tight (carrier should be snug), In view at all times (you should always be able to see your baby's face), Close enough to kiss (baby's head should be close enough to kiss), Keep chin off chest (ensure baby's airway is open), Supported back (baby's back should be supported in a natural curve). Always ensure your baby is in the ergonomic M-position with knees higher than bottom, and never use a carrier while cooking, cycling, or doing anything that could put your baby at risk.
The M-position (also called the frog-leg or squat position) is the recommended carrying position for babies in a carrier. In this position, your baby's knees are higher than their bottom, their thighs are supported from knee to knee by the carrier panel, and their legs form an M shape when viewed from the front. This position supports healthy hip socket development and is recommended by the International Hip Dysplasia Institute. Avoid carriers that allow baby's legs to dangle straight down, as this puts strain on the hip joints.
