Easy Rider Baby Carrier - Blue

Baby carriers, baby slings, and baby backpacks are different types of equipment for carrying your baby on your chest or back.

A baby carrier is a soft padded carrier that you wear on your front. Some have adjustable options so you can wear your baby on your back or hip.

A baby sling is a pouch or strip of fabric, usually secured over your shoulder and worn across your front in various positions.

Baby backpacks usually have rigid frames. You wear them only on your back. They’ re suitable for older babies and toddlers who can hold up their heads. It’s a good idea to ask your GP or child and family health nurse whether your baby is old enough for a backpack.

Carrying your baby in a baby carrier, sling or backpack gives you the advantage of having your hands free and most babies like being able to see the world from up high. If you use carriers, slings and backpacks the right way, they’ re safe and practical ways to get around with your baby.
