When and where should I use a baby carrier?

A baby carrier is like an extra pair of hands — it allows you to keep your baby close while keeping your hands free.

It allows the baby to be part of everyday life while maintaining closeness, and at the same time gives the caregiver freedom of movement and comfort.
A baby carrier can be useful in a wide range of situations:
Closeness and regulation

  • Provides close contact that supports a sense of security and calm
  • Supports regulation and encourages the release of oxytocin
  • Helps establish and maintain breastfeeding
  • Allows for discreet and comfortable breastfeeding outside the home
  • Enables skin-to-skin contact
  • Helps with falling asleep thanks to closeness and movement
  • May help in cases of colic, gas, or teething
  • Can provide comfort during illness
Everyday life and logistics

  • Keeps hands free to care for other children
  • Makes it easier to complete daily tasks (cooking, cleaning, and more)
  • Allows eating and drinking comfortably
  • Makes it easier to go out for walks, including with a pet
  • Especially useful in places where strollers are less practical (stairs, narrow or uneven paths)
  • Allows for quick errands without needing a stroller (post office, grocery store, daycare pick-up, etc.)
In the end, a baby carrier becomes part of everyday life — at home, outside, and anywhere there is a desire to combine closeness with movement.
