We have moved on today from mum or dad pushing their baby around in a pram. Of course the pram still has it's place and can be invaluable at times. But the trend now is for 'baby wearing' - the act of literally 'wearing' your newborn about your person in some form of carrier or sling. This is part of what we know as 'attachment parenting' and brings together - physically - baby and mum / dad to create that closer bond. But what do you need to consider when choosing your baby carrier? The obvious consideration is safety and comfort for your baby. But it needs to be comfortable for you too - you could be wearing him or her for long periods over the day. And wouldn't you like the carrier to be stylish too? And what about the practical side? Are you nursing? Are pockets or pouches required? We cover all these options as well as the most popular styles and brands.
