“Such an amazing comfortable carrier that comes in a lot of different colors and materials. My favorite color is the zeitgeist baby boy, so soft but also the denim is so cool in summer. I got mine for my baby shower from my friends”

The need for a baby carrier to facilitate a hands-free existence becomes very, very real even just a few days after welcoming a new baby—especially if you have a baby like, say, my daughter who just wants to be held, and you still want to be able to drink a cup of coffee; eat a meal; text a friend; and live like a semi-normal human being who just happens to have another human being attached to them at all times. I, too, love Artipoppe for the way it effectively distributes weight across your shoulders (it’s especially good if you have a smaller frame). But my second favorite carrier is an oldie but goodie: the original ErgoBaby. Its waist belt and adjustable cross-back strap are also clutch for weight distribution—something that is necessary postpartum as your shoulders are likely already in a permanent hunch from the constant feeding. A removable infant insert means that it also grows with you. Another bonus: it comfortably fits both my husband (6"1) and I (5"3). Fun for the whole family!

I love this hip carrier esp for when your baby is in the first 12 months. It’s comfortable, solid and easy to use. Cybex products are fantastic across the board. I also use the Priam stroller and lay-flat car seat. My kids and I are big fans of the whimsical Jeremy Scott designs for this line. Highly recommended.”

I didn’t fully come to appreciate my Baby Bjorn carrier until I had two kids under the age of two! Running after my toddler meant I needed a handsfree solution for carrying around my newborn and this was the perfect one. It’s light and my daughter was so comfortable in it she would just fall right to sleep.
