Soft Structured Baby Carrier

Good soft structured baby carriers are essentially Mei Tais with buckles. It is essential that your baby carrier offers good support for both the wearer and the baby, that the fabric is breathable and natural wherever possible, and most importantly, that the child's legs do not dangle from it, which strains their leg sockets and compresses their spine. Once your baby is old enough to be held in your arms on the hip, they should be in a seated position (legs astride). Prior to this they may be held in these carriers in the froggy position, legs tucked in, or in various modified cradle holds, in some cases with the aid of an infant insert.

The Evymamas do not generally recommend wearing a newborn or young baby in the facing out position, as they can become over-stimulated this way. It is also a position that can put undue strain on their spines in certain soft structured carriers. We do not carry any questionable baby carriers of this type, but do have some facing-out carrier options that allow baby to be held facing out in the favourable seated position.
