How do you choose? It’s mainly about the look and feel of the fabric. The Lenny Lamb Upgrade is made from marshmallow-soft woven fabric, and comes in a huge variety of colours and designs. The Mesh version is identical, but with a breathable mesh panel for extra ventilation for hot climates. The material is a soft brushed cotton which will feel lovely against your baby’s skin. It’s strong yet soft and flexible, supporting the weight of your baby, while giving the comfort of a fabric sling or wrap. Stretchy baby wraps are perfect for newborns and premature babies. Incredibly supportive and dreamily soft, all of these baby wraps are one-size-fits-all and perfect for mums and dads. Simply tie the baby wrap around your body and pop your baby in and out as needed. The Caboo – or any stretchy wrap – is a much MUCH better alternative to the much-marketed Baby K’Tan. The Baby Ktan comes in fixed sizes, so is notoriously difficult to get a safe, comfy fit. The Lenny Lamb Preschool Carrier is an ultra-adjustable carrier from 15 months to at least 7 years – with an impressive upper weight limit of 30kg (66lbs). It’s oh-so-soft and suitable for dads and mums from a size UK 6 to 24. They also look very beautiful, which helps.
The Izmi Baby Carrier is loved by mums and dads, of all shapes and sizes. Petite mums, or anyone who wants to avoid a hot, bulky carrier, often find this is THE best newborn carrier for them. ULTRA LIGHTWEIGHT, PERFECT FOR INDOOR AND OUT AND ABOUT Need a lightweight baby carrier? A compact baby carrier you can keep in your bag, just in case? Something thin, non-bulky and breathable for holidays and hot days? A great value extra carrier? These are the best around. It does come with a removable cushion insert for babies under 8lbs (plus a handy storage bag); but to be honest it’s not needed and is rarely worth the faff. For babies under 9lbs, just make sure the waistband is placed VERY high on your body: right up under you breasts (mum) or around the bottom of your ribs (dads). That will ‘shrink’ the height of the carrier and ensure your baby is held high, safe, and close enough to kiss, with out the need to use the cushion. GOOD TO KNOW: All my Best Baby Carriers tend to fit all dads as, generally, men tend to have ‘easier’ rectangular torsos – i.e. fewer boob, waist and hip contours to consider! As a rough rule of thumb: you count as one layer of clothing for your baby, and your Izmi counts as at least another. If you’re indoors, or going for a brisk walk and generating some heat, that’s like adding a third layer.
The Lenny Lamb Preschool Carrier is the most adjustable and adaptable, comfy for ALL parents and from 15 months to at least 7 years – with an impressive upper weight limit of 30kg (66lbs). The Tula Toddler Carrier is a fuss-free, easy toddler carrier that’s ideal from 2 to 4 years. Your child will need to be wearing aged 2-3 clothes for this one, or it’ll feel a bit too big. If you would like to use your Izmi Baby Carrier from 2.3kg/5lbs, be sure to get advice from a babywearing or health professional first. But, as many families will start to outgrow their baby carriers before their child is two, my next 3 recommendations are for more adjustable ‘in- between’ size carriers. As they’re much less padded, ultra-light carriers tend to be worn for slightly shorter periods, but they’ll save your sanity on really hot sweaty days!
The organic cotton Coracor Baby Wrap tops my list thanks to its quality and stunning Scandi designs, closely followed by the bamboo Izmi Baby Wrap, which feels almost silky and cool to the touch, and is naturally breathable and hypoallergenic. The elegant ring slings from Little Frog and Lenny Lamb are made of one piece of fabric with two rings sewn into one end, making a sash-shaped sling that is worn over one shoulder. Research shows that short periods of forward-facing carrying are generally safe. Just make sure your baby can support their head and always turn them inward when they need to sleep to protect their airways. If there is any concern that your baby may have hip dysplasia or other hip development issues, then you may wish to be more cautious as it’s harder to get optimum hip support when forward facing.The Ergobaby Omni Breeze is one of my absolute favourites. To be fair, the whole Ergobaby Omni range is great, but the Breeze and the Dream are the best for newborns as they cinches down smaller than all the others, but still last just as long – to around 1.5 to 2yrs. What’s the best twin baby carrier? And how do you carry two babies at once? Often twin parents are happy to carry one each most of the time, or carry one and have the other in a buggy. But many parents LOVE having the option to carry both at once – especially when they are very small. THE EASIEST TO WEAR: Thanks to its two adjustable bands, wearing the baby carrier newborn will be very simple. Also, being the baby sling wrap much shorter than the traditional band, will not drop on the ground, so that it stays always clean
