There are several types of baby carriers:-
- Woven Wrap: High quality ergonomic baby carriers made of woven fabric that is wrapped around you and your baby and tight with knots. They promote healthy hip and spine development assuring the natural, physiological position. They are comfortable, strong and durable and they allow multiple carry positions from birth to toddler. There are available in different lengths to suit the height of the person carrying the baby.
- Ring sling: As the name suggests, are wraps with rings. They are held in place thanks to two rings that enable you to create what could be described as a hammock for your baby. They are very easy to use as they do not require any knots. They allow for several different carrying positions and can be used up to the age of approximately 3 years.
- Soft-structured Carrier (SSC): SSCÂ are comfortable and easy to use. They use straps and buckles to hold them firmly in place and to adjust to fit the person carrying the baby. The soft structured baby carriers are very easy to use and are particularly favoured by fathers. They require no knots and offer optimal comfort, for both the child and the parent.
- Mei Tai:Â A carrier with a square or rectangular body panel. The four wrap-straps come out of each corner of the panel. Your baby is seated in the body panel and the straps of the meh tai are tied around you.
