Product Information

I have both a babasling and an ergo carrier. I've also had a baby bjion which I hated as it put too much pressure on my shoulders and my baby never looked comfortable in it and a bush baby front carrier as well. But that one broke Also I got my ergo from a local independent nursery shop as they didn't mind us trying the slings on and trying them out with my little one in. I think we where in there for a good few hours trying them all on. unlike our local big name nursery chain store who wouldn't even let us take them out of the box. For outdoors, consider a canopy to help protect your baby's head from the sun. Some carriers also come with sleep hoods. Both of these will add bulk, but are handy extra features. 4. Ease of use A lightweight sling can weigh as little as 400g (equivalent to a small bag of sugar), while a structured baby carrier can be a lot heavier, as well as being big and bulky to carry around. 3.

You can start using a baby carrier or sling from birth. Your baby sits there safely, securely in the ergonomic spread-squat position recommended by doctors. When to use a baby carrier? You can use a newborn carrier while your baby is a newborn up until they’re 1 year old. Some parents continue using a carrier to tote around their toddler. The Features You Want and NeedLook at the label. On a fake, the label is usually only in one or two languages, but on a real one there will be three to five languages. Also, look out for misspellings in the text. Body positioning: It's important that the baby's spine is supported adequately and that their legs aren't dangling: the baby's knees should be propped up higher than their bum and slightly bent (known as the 'M', 'squat' or 'frog' position).

For those who don't feel confident in working out how to carry a baby in a wrap, a more structured carrier might be a better option. There is currently no legal requirement for a sling or baby carrier to meet the British safety standards for construction and testing of baby carriers. Big brands undertake this testing to make sure their products meet the standards, but counterfeit carriers don't, which leaves you and your baby vulnerable. DD is growing out of her carrycot now and I loath putting her in the pushchair as I dont feel comfortable her facing outwards away from me, I just dont like not being able to see her. Buying another pram/pushchair is out of the question as they are so expensive! So really want a sling for short trips outside and whilst around the house as she is a very clingy baby.
