Front Carriers
Moms to be..and More is one of the city’s leading sellers of baby Bjorn products. This is an excellent example of a front carrier, as it provides all the features you should be looking for when considering the purchase of this item. Ease of use, which ultimately means how easy it is to put on, is the number one pointer. If the carrier is difficult to put on you will be frustrated, therefore dissatisfied. The support that the unit provides for you, and for the baby is next on the list. If you feel that you are in and snugly secured, your child will feel confident and comfortable using this item. Also, make sure that you can easily adjust the shoulder harness so that you and your partner can easily use the carrier you choose.
KJ’s Tip: Come to the store with your baby and try a carrier on whilst you shop, it’s a foolproof road to a successful choice.
Back Carriers
This product demands you try it on. Everyone’s baby is different and the fact that these units are all built on a metal (aluminium) frame means that the adjustability is definitely a little more limited. . the child’s seating area is usually adjustable, but trying these units on with your child in it is the only way to test whether this is for you or not. A sun canopy is “must” accessory (if it doesn’t come with it). Also make sure the carrier can stand by itself so you can take a break.
KJ’s Tip: If a unit is sitting too low on your back and is resting on your bum, this will not be comfortable don’t settle, you will find a carrier that is right for you and your babe.
Slings & Wraps
Slings have been around for centuries in many cultures, making them the “original baby tote”. They can be an incredibly comfortable choice, allowing for hands free carrying, keeping your baby close. As well as the very natural “womb-like carrying position”, most companies instructions which clearly show a variety of positions in which the baby can be carried.
KJ’s Tip: Slings and carrier companies have been adding great new fabrics and patterns to the old standards, transforming these carriers into fashion accessories!
