They can also be helpful when you are in transit. You can stand in a queue without having to hold the baby for so long.
How to choose a carrier
Before choosing a carrier, you should know when babies can use carriers. It is not ideal for newborns because their neck muscles are not strong enough to hold their head. So a 4-5-month-old can use a baby carrier.
If you need to carry your newborn in a carrier, get a wrap or sling.
How much weight should the baby carrier hold?
This depends on the model as well as the brand. Averagely, babies weigh seven to eight pounds and may gain more over the next year. A baby carrier is built to support a baby that weighs 7 to 40 pounds.
Is a carrier safe for your baby’s hips?
