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. Do you need a baby carrier?

It lets you keep your baby close while allowing you to keep your hands free to get stuff done.

The UK Sling Consortium recommends that baby sling wearers follow the 'T.I.C.K.S' rule for safe use . It's really important to follow these rules when using a baby carrier, especially for a young baby. ABC principles

As you maintain closeness with your baby, the bond between the two of you strengthens. If you continue that closeness through toddlerhood, that bond continues to grow as your child grows. Babywearing also allows caregivers to be more in tune and responsive to their baby’s needs.

The ergo is diffenatly my favourite. I can easily put it on by myself and can use it for both my little ones who are 9 months and 2 1/2 years. A friend also has one that he still uses for her 3 year old. I've also got the fleecy cover to keep the little one warm and the infant insert for when my little one was smaller.

Cradle position If you plant to use your baby carrier when you're out and about, you'll want one that's light and folds up neatly when not in use. If there is anyone on here who has/had one are they any good? Where did you buy it from? Can the child only face towards you or can you place them looking out too?
