From birth - Parent-facing only

About From birth - Parent-facing only

Models for use from birth, only in the parent-facing position. The baby travels facing you, so you can always keep them in sight and more at ease.

Frequently asked questions

Why are these baby carriers only used facing the parent for newborns?

In the first months, newborns don't yet have firm head and neck control and benefit from support and close contact with an adult. The face-to-face position with the parent supports ergonomic back and hip posture, as well as bonding, making it the most recommended at this stage.

From what weight can I use these baby carriers and wraps?

Many of these models, such as the BeSafe Haven or the wraps from Ergobaby and ByKay, can be used from birth, often from around 3.5 kg. Always check the minimum weight stated on each product page, as it can vary.

What's the difference between a wrap, a mei tai and a backpack carrier?

A woven wrap, such as ByKay's, wraps around the body and adjusts fully to the baby, but requires learning the tying technique. The mei tai combines a fabric panel with straps that tie, offering a middle ground. The structured carrier is the quickest to put on. All of them let you carry the baby facing you.

Is it difficult to learn how to tie a baby wrap?

It may seem complicated at first, but it becomes simple with practice. It's recommended to follow the manufacturer's tutorials and take your time practising the knots. These wraps offer great versatility and a very close fit to your baby's body.

Do these carriers properly support your baby's hips?

Yes. They're designed to keep your baby's legs in the "M" position (knees above hips), considered the most favourable for healthy hip development. Even so, we recommend always checking the correct positioning, following the manufacturer's instructions.

Can I breastfeed with my baby in the carrier?

Many of these carriers and wraps let you adjust your baby's height to make discreet breastfeeding on the move easier. We recommend doing so with your baby securely held and returning them to the correct position, with a clear airway, after feeding.
