What ages are baby carriers suitable for?
Baby carriers are suitable for newborn to toddler stages. Here are some general guidelines:
Newborns: Most infant carriers are designed to fit newborns and are usually used from the first few weeks or months of life. At this stage, the carrier provides extra support and mimics the sensations of being in the womb.
Infancy: Baby carriers are usually most commonly used during infancy. During this time, babies may not be able to sit up unaided, but have developed strong head and neck control.
Toddlerhood: Some baby carriers are designed to allow continued use after the baby is able to sit up independently. This usually covers the transition from infancy to toddlerhood, which can range from 6 months to 2 years.
Based on weight and development: Some carriers are designed based on the infant’s weight, not just age. Therefore, the exact age of application may vary depending on the individual development of the infant.
When choosing a baby carrier, parents are advised to browse the product details carefully to find out the age range for which the carrier is suitable and how to use it. In addition, the comfort and safety of the infant is always the primary consideration. Parents should regularly check the condition of the carrier and adjust the usage according to the development of the infant.
