3 of the best...baby carriers
Every fortnight, journalist and mum Laura Mason will review three of the best baby products on the market for iVillage.co.uk. This week, she looks at baby carriers.
BaBa Sling
This sling boasts a cutting edge design that is not only simple, but provides an unrivalled comfort for little ones thanks to its unique hammock style.
If your baby likes to be kept close this is the perfect carrier for close bonding. It’s not only ideal for use outdoors, but also for supporting your baby while breastfeeding and using around the house. The straps are straightforward to adjust with settings in five positions taking support for a newborn to a toddler.
The stylish sling is available in over 13 colours so choose from a vibrant scarlet red right through to a demure charcoal grey.
Priced £39.99 from www.thebabasling.com
BabyBjorn Miracle Organic Carrier
There are options galore with this carrier which can make it slightly confusing but once you have found your ‘perfect’ setting you definitely get optimum benefit. The ergonomic design allows you to take the weight on your hips, waist or shoulders, which works well when carrying for extended periods of time.
Our favourite for carrying comfort, the BabyBjorn is carefully crafted with wide padded straps and belt attached to a secure back support. Baby also has sturdy body and head support in forward and rear facing positions.
Suitable from birth up to 15 months, the Miracle carrier is available in three designs.
Priced £114.99 from www.babybjorn.co.uk
MabyLand Trek Snuggle Carrier
Suitable from birth to 10 months, this carrier is an improved version of the award winning MabyLand Trek Carrier. Providing uber comfort courtesy of the plump padding, the carrier is incredibly lightweight while offering full support for the baby’s head and neck.
What sets this apart is the ‘snuggle’ factor! On the front of the carrier you will find a pocket containing a soft blanket that fastens on to keep your loved one warm and less exposed during the harsh winter weather. The pocket is also handy for storing yours or baby’s essentials while out and about too!
Priced £59.99 from www.mabyland.com
