The Best Baby Carriers
TheBabyPlanners You’ve mastered diapering, got the hang of swaddling, now it’s time to tackle what others make look so easy – the art of "baby wearing." Most of the carriers listed below can be used with newborns so you have plenty of time to get used to them. Pediatricians and experts alike recommend baby carriers for a variety of reasons: baby is up close and personal with both mom and dad, when worn face-to-face baby can feel your heartbeat and breathing, and most importantly baby-carrying mimics a "womb-like" environment perfectly. That’s right, nice and cozy!
For the parents, baby carrying also means hands-free comfort so you can go about your daily life, even nursing, all while bonding with baby. Baby carriers are also easy and convenient during those times when adding a stroller to the mix would be too cumbersome like climbing stairs, grocery shopping, or walking through crowded streets.

Baby K'tan
We couldn’t resist including the Baby K'tan on this list as it truly is a cross between a sling and the more structured carriers we mention here. It provides the many positions and benefits of both. As if that’s not enough, the carrier can also be monogrammed. The Baby K’tan is comfortable, safe, hip, and no other carrier compares, making it one of our all-time faves!BUY @ amazon - 2
BabyBjorn - Original
This Babybjorn is called "Original", but we wouldn’t mind adding "classic" to its name. It has a simple design and is comfortable and easy to use during everyday activities, both indoors and out. The Original also provides excellent support for your baby’s back and head and guarantees that his/her legs and arms are in a physiologically correct position. If you want to step it up, be sure to check out the new Babybjörn Baby Carrier Original "Star." It’s made of shiny black satin with a soft cotton lining, perfect for an evening out with baby!BUY @ amazon - 3
The Ergo
The ERGO Baby Carrier's ergonomic design supports a correct sitting position for the baby's hip, pelvis and spine. It also disperses most of the baby's weight between your hips and shoulders instead of your back. While the Ergo may not look like its more sleek and compact counterparts, it more than makes up for it in comfort.BUY @ amazon - 4
The Belle
Ever since Julia Roberts was photographed wearing the Belle, this Colorado-based company can’t make these fast enough. We like that the company co-founder has a background in mechanical engineering and has designed climbing gear. This expertise has been applied with great success to this innovative carrier. Belle also offers beautiful colors and styles to compliment an active lifestyle.BUY @ amazon - 5
BabyBjorn - Synergy
We love the BabyBjorn company and their 30 year commitment to safety, quality and design. Like the Bjorn Original, the Synergy was developed in close cooperation with pediatricians and families with young children. The mesh material is what it makes it different from the Original and more comfortable for babies who overheat. The practical sliding buckle makes it easy to adjust to your growing child as well.BUY @ amazon
