When choosing a carrier, you should consider the age and weight of your baby. Most baby carrier manufacturers have specific weight recommendations. You want to make sure that the carrier is made to hold the weight of your baby now, and possibly for the next few months. On the other hand, having a baby that weighs less than the manufacturer recommends may not be safe because your baby may slip through the openings and possibly fall out.

Many baby carrier manufacturers have carriers that come in different sizes to make baby wearing more comfortable for moms and dads. You want to make sure that the carrier that you choose is made for your body size. Usually for slings and pouches, it’s just a matter of measuring from the top of your shoulder to about the middle of the side of your waist. You want to check with the manufacturer for specific models, as each one would have different measuring techniques and sizes.

Some baby carriers can be adjusted with rings or fasteners, while others may just be a matter of wrapping the fabric around your body and tying to secure. Either way, once you get the carrier, you may want to practice getting it on and off before you put your baby in it. Practice getting your baby in and out of the carrier. You may also want to try carrying some other object in it, such as a sack of potatoes or a heavy doll to get a sense of what it feels like and make any necessary adjustments.

After you decide to try carrying your baby in the carrier, you should still support your baby with one hand just to make sure that it feels safe and secure for both of you. For many moms it’s still a little scary to let go, call it the mothering instinct. It may be hard to let your guard down and relax, but the more you and your baby get used to the carrier, the easier it will become.

When in doubt, you should always err on the safe side when using a baby carrier. Never cook or reach over the stove. Be careful when drinking coffee or other hot liquids. And keep in mind that your baby might be reaching for things. You also will need to get a sense of feeling larger and wider, and being aware of the size of you and your baby while going around corners and other tight places. You don’t want your baby bumping in to things. Also, always support your baby with your hands if you bend over as to prevent your baby from falling out of the carrier.

With these tips, you should hopefully be better educated when choosing a baby carrier. Now go ahead and shop for that beautiful and stylish carrier, or carriers. Just always remember to have fun and be safe.
