The best baby carrier - how do you choose the best carrier?
We are often asked, "What is the best baby carrier for my baby?" And it makes sense, because there is so much to choose from! The most important thing we always explain immediately is that, as babywearing consultants, we look at several factors to provide you with good advice.
What size does your child wear? Do you have back, shoulder, or neck pain? And, for example, would you like to be able to carry your child on your back later on? Also: is a carrier ergonomic and tested for safety?
What makes a carrier the best carrier
A good carrier supports your child perfectly and ergonomically. "Ergonomic" is mentioned on many brands of carriers, but unfortunately, this is not a protected title and anyone can use it. Truly ergonomic means supporting from the back of one knee to the back of the other, legs in a spread position, the back nicely rounded, and support up to the neck (at least until about 5 months old).
Ideally, the fabric is soft and conforms nicely around the little one. We believe it is important that the carrier actually lasts for a while and can therefore grow with your little one by allowing the settings to be adjusted.
For you, it is important that the carrier is comfortable. That you do not have any pain and that any weak points are well supported.
The most expensive carrier is not always the best
You see them online. Once you are pregnant, you are part of the target audience and you won't miss the ads. Brands that start with carriers from €350 or more. Or the knock-off versions of these. Many people think expensive = better. Unfortunately, that is not the case with baby carriers. Many of these brands are too big for a newborn and carry all the weight on the parent's neck with narrow straps. Not pleasant at all. Fashionable, perhaps.
But the most important thing will always be safety! A carrier that is too big, like many of these brands, is dangerous. A baby can disappear into it and get insufficient oxygen.
There are also big brands that claim on the box that they are suitable from 0-4 years. However, a carrier that lasts that long does not exist. You can never get rid of the amount of fabric needed for a 4-year-old when using it for a baby. Most baby carriers last from birth until about 1.5 years old. The period in which you carry the most intensively.
What makes the Pure Baby Love the best carrier?
Pure Baby Love has chosen to create a design developed with medical professionals for proper ergonomic support. Furthermore, it was not just about ergonomics for the baby, but also for the parents. This resulted in the birth of a carrier that provides beautiful and safe support right from birth, but can also grow with them.
Both the Click & Go + and the Wrap & Go + are recommended by medical specialists and used in various hospitals.
For both models, we decided to indicate which sizes they fit. This ensures you know exactly whether the carrier is suitable for your child. Extremely important for safe use.
We have also considered the fact that many people share the carrying. Both mom and dad might have a different build. We have ensured that you do not have to make too many adjustments when switching wearers.
In our opinion, this makes both the Click & Go + and the Wrap & Go + the best carrier you can choose.
