05 Nov 3 FEATURES TO LOOK FOR WHEN BUYING A BABY CARRIER 
1. Look For Good Back Support For You
It is important to have a baby carrier that provides good back support for the person who is wearing it in order to ensure that they do not suffer back 
pain. Remember that a baby carrier will last for at least 15 months. I would recommend a baby carrier that has an “A” design back support – this is a design where there the shoulder straps converges into the middle of the your back and has a “A” shaped lower back support enclosing around your hips to evenly distribute the baby’s weight across your whole back. 
2. Look For Good Support For Baby
It is important to have a baby carrier that places baby in an upright position rather than curled position slung across your body. In the past, a popular baby sling that carried baby in a curled foetal position across the wearer’s chest had caused death and injuries to babies. One benefit of a baby carrier that supports baby in the upright position is that some are designed to ensure that baby’s hips are position in an optimal way to encourage good hip development.
3. Look For A Front Carrier That Allows Baby to Face Forward.
I would recommend a baby carrier that is a front carrier, and allows the option to have baby facing you or facing forward. The benefit of having baby face forward is that baby will now have the ability to see their hands in front of them, free from obstacles (ie. Your body) and can play with their hands 
and feet which promotes their gross and fine motor skills.
