A baby carrier is an ideal way to tote your tot around. Wearing your baby frees your hands for important tasks like checking your email or sipping your smoothie, and it eliminates the need for a bulky stroller. It’s also a boon for baby’s development and bonding to be spend time being close to you. The options are dizzying -- ring-slings, wraps, pouches, soft carriers, and structured carriers. There are baby carriers for your back and for your front. To find the one that works best for you, you will need to consider these factors: Will you need to share your carrier with spouse or babysitter? Do you plan to use it to breastfeed on the go? Do you want it to be more compact, or more supportive? You will also want to take into comfort, ergonomics, ease of use, versatility and yes...style. Finding the right baby carrier will give you a carefree way to zip around town with your sweet pea. Getting the wrong baby carrier will have you begging your spouse for shoulder rubs or worse, visiting a chiropractor. And adjusting the fit and wearing a baby carrier properly is just as important. Use our buying guide to get the right baby carrier for you and watch our videos to find out how to wear your new carrier.
