Need help choosing the perfect baby carrier? This is how to choose a baby carrier you’re sure to love! Plus, I’m sharing 3 of the top baby carrier styles for your introduction to babywearing.
Babywearing isn’t a new thing. For centuries, mothers of many cultures have used baby carriers for carrying their babies around. In the past, baby carriers were simple slings and wraps, which are styles still used today in the modern world. But, with the resurgence in popularity, more styles of carriers are being created to accommodate the growing demands of the overwhelmed moms in all different situations. Various styles, colors, sizes, and fabrics make choosing the perfect baby carrier seem to be an even more daunting task.
While it may be intimidating when you first begin looking into babywearing, it’s not nearly as difficult.
Let’s talk about how to choose a baby carrier that will make you and your baby happy!
Do You Need a Baby Carrier?
Thinking about getting a baby carrier? It’s like having an extra set of hands!
Here are some reasons why choosing the right baby carrier can be a game-changer:
- Gives your tired arms a much-needed break while keeping your little one snug.
- Lets you tackle your to-do list while having your baby close for those sweet cuddles.
- Boosts that lovey-dovey oxytocin, making you and your baby feel even more connected. Research even suggests it could help with postpartum blues and anxiety.
- Say goodbye to struggling with that clunky stroller. Just strap on the carrier and you’re good to go.
- Navigating busy public areas becomes a breeze, no need to weave through a sea of legs with a stroller.
- Studies have found that babies who are carried for a few hours a day tend to cry less overall.
So why not make life a little easier and cozier for both you and your bundle of joy?
How to Choose a Baby Carrier
Baby Size
More important than the carrier itself, you must always follow the manufacturer weight recommendations.
Baby carriers are not one size fits all, therefore, it’s important to know weight and height recommendations for your baby, so that you and your baby will be safe and comfortable. A baby who is too small for a baby carrier will not be properly supported. A baby who is too large will be uncomfortable and can increase strain on your own body.
Parent Size
Many manufacturers will list sizing details about how much adjustment room each specific baby carrier has. This makes narrowing down your carrier options a little easier, so know your own size and whether or not you can adjust the carrier to fit you. You want your baby to be snug, but you don’t want the carrier to be too tight or too lose.
Read Reviews
There’s nothing like making the mistake of purchasing a baby carrier without doing your research. Ask me how I know this is a disaster…
Do the research because choosing the perfect baby carrier doesn’t just happen by chance. Check the specifications of the carriers you’re considering to make sure they’ll fit and are of fabric fitting for your environment. Further, reading moms honest reviews of carriers will help you determine whether or not any carrier is one you should consider for yourself and your baby.
Try them on
You may be able to try on a variety of styles in your local baby shop. If you’re lucky enough to have a local babywearing group, make a point to visit one and try on some demonstration carriers. Bring along your spouse if he intends to practice babywearing. Choosing the perfect baby carrier is likely going to be a different experience for each of you.

Of course, the best place to do this as a new babywearing mama is under the supervision of someone experienced, so they can help watch for the baby’s safety as well as making necessary adjustments for the right fit.
What Not to Focus On
You’ll find that the more involved you become in the babywearing community, the more you’ll hear about the different ways to carry your baby. If this is your first time practicing babywearing, focus on the basics. A simple front-carry is really the first thing you need to know to get started. As you become comfortable with a certain style of carrier, and with your baby, then venture out to learn all you can about other ways to carry your baby.
Don’t overwhelm yourself from the start.
How to Choose a Baby Carrier Style
Aside from all the research, choosing the perfect baby carrier means narrowing down the baby carrier style that’s right for your baby or toddler’s age. I’ll touch on the three most popular carrier styles, in hopes of making choosing the perfect baby carrier easier. When you’re more comfortable with babywearing, you can potentially find yourself experimenting with other styles and more carrying positions. But, my intent is not to overwhelm you with choices.
Sling
A sling is one of the best newborn baby carriers, assuming you can get over the feeling that your little peanut is going to wiggle himself right out. Choosing a sling for a newborn means you have to choose one that fits close to your body. Plus, the rings shouldn’t be made of a slippery metal. The rings need to keep the fabric in place so that you can be certain the baby won’t be able to wiggle free.
Some slings are a solid piece of fabric, meaning you wouldn’t have to worry about the rings, but you’d definitely need to make sure to get the correct size for your body.
A sling was never one I was able to get comfortable with. However, mothers who do get comfortable with them have found them useful for baby and toddler years.
Popular slings include:

Wrap
A wrap is often the most intimidating to new mothers. To be honest, I had a wrap with my first baby, but was never able to comprehend how to wrap myself and a wiggly baby tightly enough to be of any use.
It took a babywearing introduction class at a local babywearing group to get a better understanding of how it’s done. I attended one when I was pregnant with my second and practiced babywearing with a baby doll after the introductory discussion was over.
Once my confidence was built with practice on the baby doll, I purchased a used wrap from a friend and practiced with a teddy bear over the course of the next few months as I waited for my second baby to be born.
Though wrapping a live baby is significantly different, I found this to be much easier than I’d ever given it credit for. And, because my son was under the weight recommendation for a soft structured carrier right after birth, the wrap was the perfect baby carrier during his newborn stage. I loved it because I was able to custom fit a wrap for my body and my baby, perfecting the support of my newborn’s neck, and keep him close as I carried on essential business.
The wrap was the introduction to babywearing we needed so that I could handle life as a mom more easily the second time around. And despite what others may believe, babywearing didn’t create this mama’s boy but it served an important function in handling my high-needs baby.

Soft Structured Carrier
This was, by far, my most favorite carrier. The moment my son was big enough to transfer to a soft structured carrier, we switched. My husband gave me one for Mother’s Day after I lamented about believing I needed one, but wasn’t willing to shell out good money on one for the second (and last baby). And, there was no way I was buying another cheap carrier that would hurt my back and make me hate wearing my baby.
A cheap carrier was the reason I didn’t practice babywearing with my first.
So, to my surprise, I was gifted a Boba 4G and became a firm believer in the power of babywearing. We did everything with the carrier. From talking walks to the creek to visiting theme parks, the carrier went everywhere. And, eventually, I learned to breastfeed in a carrier.
A soft structured carrier is, in my opinion, the easiest of all the carriers to master. Once you select the perfect one for your body and your baby, it’s relatively easy to adjust them to fit. Learning to carry in different positions is easier too. Finally, some manufacturers make soft structured carriers strictly for toddlers, so you have a wide range of carriers available to choose from.
I will start with my personal favorite, the Boba 4G.
The reason I chose this carrier was because it included an infant insert (although my little guy was still under the weight recommendation for the first few weeks). I had to start with a wrap and then moved to using the Boba as soon as he weighed enough.
Once he past the infant stage, I pulled out the insert. I’ve been wearing him nearly everywhere in the 4G and learned to breastfeed in it. Additionally, I learned to back carry, which we do on occasion now that he’s a toddler.
For the money, a Boba 4G is versatile. It will last you several years and through some of your baby’s toddler-hood, depending on weight.
Features I like about the Boba 4G (now 4GS since writing this post):
- Wide body to help conceal a breastfeeding baby.
- A hood that zips into its own pocket for sleeping or shielding from sun.
- Ergonomic design
- Variety of patterns to suit your personal tastes
- Functionality and comfort at a price fit for the years of use you’ll get.
- Fits a variety of body types from XS to XXL.
The verdict is still out for me on the Beco 8 carrier. While it has the back brace for added support, I feel as though it prevents me from tightening the straps enough for a comfortable and snug fit. I have yet to take the back brace off and try a back carry though.
What I DO love about this carrier is that it has a zip down mesh back to help keep your baby cool in warmer climates (I’m in Florida). And when it’s cooler outside, I can zip it back up for warmth.
Additionally, it comes with an infant insert and is capable of 8 carry positions.
Hopefully I have you set up for choosing the perfect baby carrier. As always, let me know if you have any questions!

FAQs on How to Choose a Baby Carrier
When should I start carrying my baby with a baby carrier?
You can use a carrier like a ring sling beginning on the first day. Once you get used to it, they’re usually more manageable than toting baby around in a car seat. But pay attention to size/weight recommendations.
How long should a newborn be in a baby carrier?
If your baby is alert and awake, consider giving your baby a break from the carrier after about an hour to stretch and move.
How often should I carry my baby?
Your baby may determine how long he or she needs you. My son needed me constantly, so I wore him while I did house chores, cooked, or took walks. We took breaks for baths, potty, naps and bedtime.
What are the disadvantages of wearing baby in a sling or carrier?
Generally speaking, the biggest downside to babywearing can be mother’s discomfort, though if you wear properly, this isn’t always a concern. An ill-fitting carrier can be problematic for you and baby, so follow safety guidelines and the manufacturer’s height and weight recommendations.
What is the recommended weight for a baby carrier?
Generally, you can start toting your baby around in a carrier beginning at 7 pounds and can often wear until your baby is between 35 and 45 pounds. Be sure to check your carrier’s recommended weight limits.
Should I carry my newborn all day?
As long as you’re nurturing your newborn and meeting their essential needs, there are no specific recommendations or guidelines for how long or how often you can carry your baby.

I absolutely loved my carrier. I couldn’t ever figure out the wraps so we went with an Ergo and loved it. Although it was tricky to switch back and forth between my husband and I so I tended to do most all the wearing.
Thank you for this lovely post Ivy
As many women already know by the time you reach the age of thirty you will already begin to experience new aches and pains that you have never felt before. This is especially true if you have children, or are about to have children. What many moms don’t seem to realize is that a lot of the aches and pains that they experience can be avoided. One of the biggest complaints from moms is the constant back pain. Baby carriers are the leading cause of back pain in most moms with children. But it is not the carrier’s themselves that are causing the problems, it is actually the fact that they are not being used properly.
Best wishes
This blog was very nicely formatted; it maintained a flow from the first word to the last.
I’m glad you liked it. Thanks for visiting!
Lots of great advice here! I absolutely agree about trying the wraps out before you buy if you can. Fit and comfort is so personal! I love the soft structured carrier as well, even though I’ve gotten the hand of the more tricky wraps, I love the ease of a SSC. I’ve recently become obsessed with hipseat carriers, they take a lot of weight off of the neck and shoulders, which is great for me! Thanks again for article 🙂
I’m glad you found it useful. I haven’t tried a hipseat carrier. We’ve been so happy with the SSC and a stroller, I just haven’t even found a need to look elsewhere.
Thank you! You’ve just highlighted what most moms are missing on. There are a number of factors that should be considered before settling on any wearer. I love the insights. I wish every mom would see this.
Great share!! By following these guidelines and trying out different options, parent can find the perfect carrier that will make your life as a parent more comfortable and enjoyable.
