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.
