Baby Carriers: why choose them and how

Do you want to have your hands free for your travels from one place to another? La Casa del Bebé offers you a wide range of baby carriers and ergonomic backpacks. Comfort and practicality are first for you as parents, but also the safety of the backpack or the sling for your child are essential so you must always opt for the best.

Why choose a baby carrier

In recent years, baby carriers are increasingly popular with Italian families.

The advantages for new parents are many:

The baby carrier improves and helps to develop the relationship between the baby and the parents, reassures the newborn when he is outside in new environments.

Ensures comfort for the child during walks and, thanks to the ergonomic design, helps to maintain a correct position of the neck and back

It allows parents to have their hands free and therefore to be able to grasp objects, open doors and perform all those actions that, holding the baby in their arms, they could not carry out. The baby carrier is particularly useful during long walks, excursions and when you have to visit or cross different places indoors; thanks to this accessory it is not necessary to open and close the stroller every time.

Clearly, the baby carrier cannot replace other accessories, such as light strollers or car seats. However, it can be an excellent supplementary resource. La Casa del Bebè offers a wide selection of models of baby carriers and backpacks from the best brands in the industry, the result of continuous research to ensure your child a correct growth and healthy development.

How to choose the right baby carrier

There are currently many models of baby carriers online and it may not be easy to decide how and what to buy.

When choosing, we recommend that you always consider the following factors:

Ergonomics: An ergonomic baby carrier is designed to adapt to the baby's body, thus ensuring that at every stage of growth and development it can be carried with the baby carrier in maximum comfort. Here you will find a wide selection of ergonomic baby carriers with an innovative design, with a clever insert to increase safety and comfort.

Materials: since these are accessories that are in direct contact with the child and his skin even for prolonged times, it is important to check, before purchasing, that the baby carriers are made of breathable and hypoallergenic material, preferably in 100% cotton . In this regard, La Casa del Bbè offers models equipped with anti-humidity mesh lining for maximum breathability.

Weight and age of the child: Since growth does not occur in the same way in all children, it is advisable, before buying, to check the maximum supported weight indicated in the product sheet, rather than the age. Inside the catalog you will find high quality baby carriers, such as Cybex Platinum or Chicco baby carriers, designed to accompany the baby as it grows. In this case the maximum weight supported is generally 12 kg, which is, on average, referable to an age of 24 months. All baby carriers are suitable for newborns and can be used from the first months of life.

Padded shoulder straps and waist belt and adjustable straps: once you have established the suitability of the baby carrier for your child, it is time to think about your comfort and your back too. During the first few months, with a lower load weight, you may not perceive the importance of purchasing a baby carrier with these characteristics; when the baby begins to grow these characteristics will make the difference!

How to orient the baby carriers

The baby carriers can be used in 3 positions:

Front Mum: in this case the baby is facing the parent. This position is recommended from 4-5 months of life, when the baby's neck muscles are more developed. This orientation is certainly more reassuring for the child.

Lateral: this position is suitable for use even in the first months of life. The baby is placed sideways so that he is lying in the carrier in a position that resembles the one he is in when he is cradled. In this case the back and neck are fully supported.

Back: this orientation is the classic one of the baby carrier. Also in this case it is recommended to position the baby carrier in this way after 3-4 months of life.
