Here are some of the most important factors to
consider when making this decision

  safety of your baby. The safety of your baby in
  the carrier should be the paramount thing to look
  for. This entails as to how the carrier supports
  the baby.

  the infant so that there is no strain on the
  babys back. A good carrier should have strong
  and wide front panels and the seats should be
  high enough so as to have proper back support for
  the child. The baby carrier should also allow the
  infants legs to be wide apart as opposed to being
  held together as this can lead to hip dysplasia.

  between you and the baby as this will provide the
  baby with the breathing room. Some fabrics may

  is no friction with the baby Name.

• Once you have ensured the comfort of the baby,
  you can now consider your comfort. A good baby
  carrier should be comfortable because in most
  cases you will need to carry the child for a long
  time. It is essential that the carrier should
  have comfortable straps that do not over strain
  your shoulders and the carrier its self should be
  designed in a way that allows the babys weight
  to be evenly distributed to your shoulders, back
  and hips or waist where applicable.

• A carrier should also be easy to use. This
  pertains to the different kinds of straps,
  buckles and pouches. There is nothing as
  frustrating as trying to get somewhere in a hurry
  and you cannot be able to fasten your baby into
  the carrier easily.
