Baby Wearing Options

Posted by Rachel Lister Jan 4, 2008

As I neared my due date with my third child I knew that I wanted to find a baby carrier that would be easy on my back and allow me to care for my two other children and still manage to keep the house presentable. I had tried several other baby carriers over the years and had not found one that was both comfortable for my baby and comfortable for me to wear. I asked several friends for recommendations and nearly all of them recommended buying a Hotsling.

I reviewed the Hotsling infant carrier and was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to use and the natural position it allowed my baby to lay in while being carried. For newborns the Hotsling makes a perfect infant carrier. Toddlers will enjoy using the Hotsling as a simple hip holder.

For more active use, I found that I preferred the Baby Bjorn for the extra back support and how securely it held my baby. This is helpful for walking or wearing your infant while cleaning the house.
