Types of Baby Carriers
There’s a variety of baby carriers out there but which one is the right one for you? Every person and parent is different and how you use a baby carrier comes down to personal preference. Depending on the age and weight of the baby, the ease of use and comfort for parents as well as the child is really important.
- Baby carrier backpacks: For parents who are on the active, outdoorsy, running errands, and overall on the move, these heavier, backpack-style carriers offer better padding and support to keep baby’s secure and in place. There is more structure and security, but they’re a little heavier than the other two options.
- Baby carrier wraps: Wrap baby carriers are long lengths of fabric that go around your body and tied in place to hold your baby close.
- Baby sling carriers: The most popularly carriers for parents are wraps, slings, or soft-structured. Slings are designed to offer a secure way to hold babies and create a comfortable snug feel.

Do baby carriers hurt their hips?
Yes, the position matters as to how they are seated. Improper seating for long periods of time can cause discomfort and hip dysplasia or leading to hip dislocations. To prevent improper hip development, it is recommended by the Hip Dysplasia Institute to position a baby’s legs in an “M” position.
How do I know what baby carrier to buy?
Comfort is a top priority when choosing a baby carrier, catering to both your baby's and your own needs. Check that the carrier's seat promotes the hip-healthy 'M' position for your baby's well-being, and if you're planning extended wear, prioritize carriers with cushioned shoulder straps and lumbar support to keep you comfortable during those extended baby-wearing sessions.
