Baby Carrier Safety
Safety First. An ergonomic carrier offers a safe and secure, natural carrying position, much better than a chair or car seats! If your child does have a hip condition The International Hip Dysplasia Institute recommends carrying them in a deep seated shape in your baby carrier which promotes a natural open hip position, optimum for development and preventing the rubbing that can occur in the hip joint with legs straight. Safety is of paramount importance when carrying your infant.

Baby wraps have been used around the world for centuries offering comfortable carrying for baby and caregiver. They get a great view and close contact and you get two free hands while you carry. Stretchy wraps are excellent for newborns and will keep them snug and comfortable until they fit into a baby carrier. A woven wrap carrier can be used from newborn but they are also suitable for an older child.
Benefits of babywearing
The benefits of babywearing are huge and vary from hip dysplasia to soothing the baby to sleep. Ergonomic baby carriers including slings and wraps are safe and easy for parents and babies. Much more portable than any pushchair baby carriers can simply be folded into a diaper bag when you're not using them (or keep them on as clothing accessories) and they are perfect for keeping a newborn baby close. With a bit of practice many slings can be used for breastfeeding giving extra support to nursing mothers.
Good for dad. Being close to the baby can help daddy to bond with your newborn baby. Buckle carriers with padded shoulder straps and waist belts are easy to adjust if mum and dad aren't the same size, and of course a stretchy wrap like a moby wrap fits any size.
A ring sling is also a super easy option for both parents to use. A carrier can access all areas. There are some places prams just can't go. And your child gets a much better view than they would in a pushchair. Plus you keep your hands free to walk the dog or do the shopping.
