Best Baby Carrier in Singapore to Keep Your Baby Close to You

As much as we want to snuggle with our baby all day and sniff in their irresistible smell, we know that it’s not always possible as we need our hands to get on with our daily lives. Unless you use a baby carrier, of course. Babywearing lets you keep your baby close to you while having your hands free to eat, work and even entertain older siblings. Baby carriers can be confusing as they come in many different types to suit different preferences. Here are some of our favourite ergonomic baby carriers to bond with our little bundle of joy: Buckle Baby Carrier Buckle carriers are very user-friendly and a great way to start babywearing. All you have to do is put them on, place baby in the seat and fasten the buckles. Not all carriers are created equally though, with some more suitable for petite wearers and others more comfortable for broader shoulders.

It’s comfortable and versatile as the cloth can be used in a variety of ways and tied to fit any size. If long pieces of fabric aren’t your thing, you still can enjoy the comfort of wrap carriers with instant wraps that you put on like a t-shirt without the hassle of tying the cloth around you. Didymos Woven Wrap Prima Sole Occidente Image credit: Didymos Features: 100% organic cotton Lightweight yet supportive for newborns and big kids Machine washable Price: from $180 Ring Sling Baby Carrier Similar to baby wraps, ring slings are also made from a piece of long fabric. The difference though, is that the fabric is threaded through two rings to create a pouch to put baby in. Ring slings are very adjustable and can fit children of all sizes, from tiny newborns to independent toddlers. However, because ring slings rest on only one shoulder, you might find that it does not support heavy kids as much as two shoulder carriers like wraps and buckle carriers. We love ring slings for quick ups and downs though, as it’s easy to put on and adjust.

Baby should also always be in view at all times so you can see their face by simply glancing down. Baby’s head should be as close to your chin as possible that you can kiss their head without having to bend too far forward Always ensure that baby’s chin is off their chest as this can restrict their breathing. The back of your baby should always be supported by the carrier to prevent slumping or falling out.
