Back carriers are useful for more serious walking where it’s impractical to take a pushchair, for shopping trips where you need your hands free and as a possible alternative to the lightweight stroller pushchair on holiday. Back carriers usually have a frame and are a more sturdy way of carrying a baby for a longer time. They usually have aluminium frame and a hip belt, like a hiking backpack.
Baby back carriers are a fantastically versatile and comfortable way of transporting your baby. However, these carriers should only be used for infants over the age of six months and only when your baby can support her own head, as most back carriers provide little in the way of neck support. At 6 months you can then move on to using one of our multi functional back carriers and we guarantee you’ll have fun together. The is quite a movement toward slings but toddlers are too big for front carrying so consider the soft and framed back carriers. Some back carriers claim to carry three year olds but your stature and strength will dictate whether and for how long you can carry this way. Front carriers youcan use right from the beginning, facing inward or forward, but when a baby grows older and becomes heavier and more alert (starts grabbing your ice cream), back carriers are better.
