Frequently asked questions

From what age can I use a baby carrier or sling?

Many baby carriers can be used from birth, provided they give correct head and neck support for newborns; some models require an insert or accessory for the first months. Check the minimum weight and age stated by the manufacturer on the product page.

What's the difference between a sling or wrap and a structured carrier?

A wrap, such as the Ergobaby Aura, is a long fabric tied around the body, offering great adaptability but requiring some practice. A structured carrier, such as BabyBjörn backpacks or the Moova Balance, has defined buckles and supports, making it quicker to put on. The choice depends on each person's preference and experience.

Do these carriers respect your baby's hip development?

Ergonomic carriers are designed to keep the baby in the M position (frog position), with hips spread and knees above the bottom, supporting healthy hip development. It's recommended to favour ergonomic models and follow the manufacturer's positioning instructions.

Can I carry my baby facing forward?

Some models, such as certain BabyBjörn One carriers, allow forward-facing carrying once the baby has firm control of their head and neck, usually from around 5 to 6 months and for short periods. While your baby is younger, they should be carried facing the adult. Check the permitted positions on each product's page.

Is it difficult to learn how to put on a baby carrier?

Structured carriers are quite intuitive and go on in a few steps. Wraps take more practice to begin with. In either case, always check that the baby's airway is clear, that the chin isn't pressed against the chest, and that the carrier fits snugly to the body.

Are these carriers cool and washable?

Several models come in a mesh version or in breathable fabrics, cooler for summer and warm climates. Most are machine washable on a gentle programme. Check the material and washing instructions on the product page.
