Types of Baby Carriers
Things to Consider...
* Try before you buy. Be sure to place the baby in the carrier when testing the product.
* Verify that you have the right kind of carrier for your baby's age and size. Infants and newborns need proper head and neck support in any carrier.
* Find a carrier with a removable, washable fabric.
* If others will be using the carrier, make sure it is adjustable.
* Get a carrier that you can load your baby into and out of easily on your own. The backpacks are the trickiest to get the hang of, so make sure you get plenty of practice!
* When your child hits 40 pounds, graduate to a stroller.
