What are the advantages of a wrap style carrier?
There are many. First of all, wrap style carriers offer superior head, neck and spine support for your baby in comparison with many of the other carriers on the market. A wrap holds the child closely and securely to your body. This prevents extra movement of the carrier such as swinging or swaying that could be potentially unsafe. This closeness also increases bonding as it heightens the awareness between parent and child. Wrap carriers are well known for being the most comfortable style of carrier. This two shoulder carry method uses wide panels of fabric utilizing virtually all of the wearer’s back, shoulders, and hips to distribute the child’s weight. In addition, there is a tremendous amount of versatility due to multiple carrying positions. Your child will not “outgrow” the carrier in a few short months as with many other styles of carriers. You can easily carry newborns up to preschool age in a variety of positions.
