Strollers can be really useful, but sometimes, you just need to hold your little one close to you. It’s also much more portable, and you’ll still have your hands free to do other things! That’s why you’ll need something really durable, so you can carry your baby for long periods of time without sacrificing your back health. We know that there are lots of things to consider before getting a new baby carrier, so here’s Glitz’s review on eight of the top baby carriers that are available in Singapore.

Frequently asked questions about baby carriers

What’s the difference between baby carriers, slings, and wraps?

Baby carriers are sort of like backpacks; they’re structured, have straps and padding, and are usually worn on your front, whereas baby slings are typically made of soft fabric for you to position from shoulder to hip. Baby wraps on the other hand, are a long piece of fabric made from a material similar to baby slings, that you wrap around your body to create a pouch for your baby. Baby carriers are typically what most new parents choose, as they’re super user-friendly.

Are baby carriers safe for newborns?

The short answer is: yes! However, some carriers may be better suited for certain age ranges. Furthermore, there are precautions that parents should take to ensure the baby’s safety while being strapped in a baby carrier, like making sure that the baby’s airway is always open, their chin is always off their chest, and that air should always circulate around the baby’s nose and mouth easily. The baby carrier also needs to be positioned in a way that supports the baby’s neck and back.

Is it safe for my baby to sleep in a baby carrier?

Babies need to sleep a lot, so it may be unavoidable for your baby to fall asleep in the carrier. However, some experts say that it isn’t safe for babies to sleep in the carrier as there is possibility of asphyxiation or suffocation, but some other experts also say that it is in fact, safe because it’s incredibly easy for you to monitor your baby as you only need to look down to see your baby. All things considered, it is up to you to decide if you would let your baby sleep in a baby carrier.
