Benefits of Baby Carriers
Choosing to use a newborn carrier comes with a bunch of fantastic benefits for both you and your baby. Promote physical health, cognitive development, and free up your hands. Each of our carriers is simple and intuitive to use, with no complicated bits or pieces.
Support and comfort
A well-made newborn carrier will keep your infant supported and comfortable, providing a sturdy foundation for their back and neck. This type of carrier also promotes muscle development and more movement. Using a baby carrier also means less strain on your own back. It’s a healthier way to carry your little one, as sturdy padded straps and strong clips ensure the weight is distributed evenly.
Hands-free
A buckle carrier allows mums and dads to be hands-free, which is super useful whether you’re at home, or out and about. You can keep up with chores around the house, enjoy your coffee, or take a work call if necessary.
More time together
Baby carriers bring you closer to your little one, allowing you to spend more time in close quarters, and with more skin-on-skin contact.
Promote Learning
Babywearing also promotes learning! Your baby has more access to the world around them when in a baby carrier, as opposed to a pram. They can spend more time observing you, leading to better sociability and environmental learning.
How to Choose a Baby Carrier
There are a few things to remember when choosing the right baby carrier for your little one. Safety, support, and comfort should always be your first considerations, so a sturdy, meticulously designed carrier is a must.
You should also take into account your child’s age, weight, and height before purchasing a carrier. If they are too tall or too heavy for the carrier, chances are they’ll be uncomfortable… and you will be too. Our aerial buckle carriers can support babies up to 45 lbs in weight.
Materials that are soft to the touch and breathable will help regulate your baby’s temperature. Natural linen, for example, will keep your little one from overheating and promises incredibly soft support. No rubbing, no rashes, no irritation.
