Discover the Best Baby Carriers for Your Family
Find the perfect baby carrier or sling for your newborn, infant, or toddler at Love to Be Natural. Our ergonomic, safe, and stylish carriers ensure your baby stays close, secure, and comfortable in the ideal 'M' position — perfect for bonding and hands-free parenting.
What Is a Baby Carrier?
A baby carrier is a parenting essential that lets you carry your baby hands-free while keeping them close. Unlike strollers, carriers like stretchy wraps, ring slings, or buckle carriers promote bonding, reduce crying, and support your baby’s physical and emotional development. With the right carrier, you can tackle daily tasks, whether that's making breakfast or exploring outdoors, all while staying connected to your little one.
Why Choose a Baby Carrier?
Baby carriers offer unmatched benefits for parents and babies. Here are just a few:
Bonding:
Physical closeness fosters emotional security, with studies showing carried babies cry up to 43% less (source: Pediatrics Journal, 2018).
Convenience:
Keep your hands free for shopping, sibling care, or a well-deserved coffee break.
Ergonomic Support:
Designed to distribute weight evenly, reducing strain on your back and shoulders.
Development:
Supports healthy hip development with the 'M' position, endorsed by the International Hip Dysplasia Institute.
Our expert team, with over 15 years of babywearing experience, hand-picks every carrier for quality, safety, and comfort. Whether you’re a new parent or a seasoned babywearer, we’re here to help you find the best fit.
Are Baby Carriers Safe?
Yes, baby carriers are safe when used correctly. Follow the T.I.C.K.S. Rules for Safe Babywearing (Tight, In view, Close, Keep chin off chest, Supported back) to ensure your baby’s safety. Our carriers meet strict safety standards, and we provide detailed guides to help you use them confidently. Learn more about babywearing safety.
