When deciding on the carrier, consider the following:
Ergonomic Shape: An ergonomic baby carrier sets the baby in a natural position without interfering with the healthy development of the spine and hip at every stage and age. A good way to verify if the carrier is hip healthy is to confirm if it is acknowledged by The International Hip Dysplasia Institute.
Weight Limits: a great baby carrier should last your baby from newborn all through to the toddler stage. The most recommended weight limit is between 7 and 45 lbs.
Breathable Mesh Fabric: The breathable lining is an important feature to let in air on a warm day. It ventilates your back and the baby to prevent the baby and your back from sweating.
Privacy for Breastfeeding: A baby carrier that lets you breastfeed with discreet will be the most essential. The most notable feature is the hood that also supports your little one when asleep. In most brands, the hood can be removed when it is not in use.
Adjustable: The best baby carrier is adjustable to suit the body of different wearers. It should fit comfortably whether you’re huge, tall, or petite mom and dad. The seat width and height should be adjustable as well to help you customize the carrier to fit a newborn all the way to toddlerhood.
Lumbar Support: The lumbar support is provided in the form of a wide waistband that equally distribute the baby’s weight across your back, hip, and shoulders. This prevents unnecessary straining on the back and shoulders reducing the risk of lower back strain and pain. Since the weight is well spread, you’ll be able to walk in an upright healthy posture.
