Home > Baby Gear > Baby Carriers   OVERVIEW Perhaps the world's oldest baby product, baby carriers have been used since the dawn of civilization as a way to keep infants close but allow parents the freedom to continue working and caring for their family. Baby carriers are contraptions made of fabric reinforced with plastic or metal buckles and bindings that secure a baby to a parent's torso, allowing for hands-free carrying. There are 3 basic types of baby carriers: slings, front carriers and backpacks. The most organic baby carrier, a sling is simply a long piece of fabric that wraps around an adult's body and fastens at one shoulder. Slings can be adjusted to allow babies to lie in the fetal position, face outward, or even straddle their parent's hip. Slings can be used from birth and are popular with breastfeeding moms. Front carriers are more structured - they resemble mini-backpacks that are instead worn on the front of your body. Parents wear straps over each shoulder that join in the back for safety. Front carriers allow babies to hang only in a vertical position, so it is recommended that baby riders have at least some neck control. Babies can face in toward their parent's chest or out toward the world. Baby backpacks (or "frame carriers") are larger carriers designed for prolonged baby carrying outings that provide a seat for babies to ride on your back. Like a hiking backpack, they have lightweight frames and extensive padded straps to help comfortably distribute baby's weight. Suitable only for older babies who can hold their head up, backpacks are made of tougher, often waterproof material and frequently come with sun canopies.
