When to start using a baby carrier and how to properly carry a Baby in it?

The safest time to start using a baby carrier is when the Infant is 3 months old and able to hold his head independently and steadily. It is important to make sure that the carrier is appropriate for your baby's weight and size. MoMi has created carriers that we can use as early as 3 months of age that offer extra support for the head and neck. Our MoMi COLLET ergonomic carrier is highly adjustable and provides proper positioning for the spine and hips. Most carriers can be used until the Child reaches about 20 kg. Always pay attention to the maximum allowable weight stated by the manufacturer.

 
How to choose the perfect baby carrier?

First and foremost, the carrier should provide comfort to the person carrying the Baby. Pay attention to whether the carrier has wide shoulder straps and a hip belt that will effectively distribute the weight of the Toddler, guaranteeing the Parent comfort while carrying. An important feature of a good carrier, is its ergonomics. Such a carrier ensures the correct positioning of the Child's legs and a healthy arrangement of his hips. This is not only comfortable for the Toddler, but also safe for his joints. What's more, the ideal carrier provides a variety of carrying options. In the case of the MoMi COLLET model, it is possible to carry the Child facing the Parent from both the front and the back, which is especially practical as the Toddler grows. Protection from the weather is another aspect worth noting - the detachable hood will effectively protect the Toddler from the cold, wind or rain. Finally, it is worth noting the adjustability. A good carrier, allows you to adjust it to the needs of both the Child and the wearer thanks to many points of adjustment, including at the shoulder straps and hip belts.

Proper Carrying of Baby

Wearing a Baby in a carrier requires following certain rules to ensure comfort and safety. The Child is best placed facing the Parent's chest, which is especially important for Infants. This position allows the legs and hips to be placed correctly in the so-called "frog" position. When the Toddler is older, able to sit up on his own and control the holding of his head, you can consider carrying him facing the Parent's back. However, it is crucial to carefully read the instructions attached to the carrier before using it for the first time. Let's also remember to adjust the Child's clothing in winter - the carrier gives extra protection from the cold, and the proximity of the Parent provides the Toddler with extra warmth.

Benefits of Carrying Baby in a Carrier

Carrying your Baby in a carrier is a great way to strengthen your bond with your Toddler and make everyday life easier. However, remember to regularly check the condition of the carrier, keep it clean, and adjust it to your Baby's height and needs. Safety and comfort are paramount!
