How to Choose the Right Baby Carriers for Parenting and Transportation

​

​

Baby wearing is a wonderful parenting practice for building a strong bond between you and your baby. Your baby will feel loved and happy as he or she is carried on your back or on your chest snugly. You, on the other hand, have free hands to perform household chores while keeping close to your newborn for those precious formative weeks. But with all the choices available in the market today, you can be forgiven for feeling bewildered when picking which baby carrier to buy such as for Hiking 2017. To help you determine which carrier is suitable for you and your baby, consider the pointers below on what you should look out for. 

​

Easiness of use

The baby carrier should not give you a hard time from the minute you take it out of its packaging up to the moment you need to do some adjustments. Make sure that the carrier comes with printed instructions on how to use it safely especially if it is a little complicated to use. Even carriers that are fairly elementary to use should carry an instructional guide. It should tell you how to adjust the carrier size interchangeably between you and your partner when you take turns carrying the baby. If you are not comfortable facing long learning curves, get a carrier that requires minimal adjustments.  

​

Ergonomic comfort

The baby carrier should be comfortable and safe for both you (the baby wearer) and the baby. As the body of your baby is still in its formative stage, especially the spine, the carrier should be ergonomically designed to support the natural growth of your child. It should has a head rest to hold up the neck and head, support the hips and airway properly, spread the legs in an M-shape, and prop the thigh to the knee joint. As for your comfort, look for wide straps to evenly spread your baby's weight across your shoulders and a padded waist belt so your baby feels like an extension of your body and not an extra load.

​

Effortless to clean  

It is presumed that the baby carrier will be drooled or vomited on, or get thrown in the diaper bag at some point. There are carriers that can be machine washed or hand washed easily. Others can only be dry cleaned or cleaned with a sponge. Choose a model that can be put into the washing machine and the dryer.
