Ergonomic carrying equipment

Why is ergonomic babywearing important?

Ergonomic babywearing supports the natural posture of both the wearer and the child. It reduces strain on the wearer and promotes healthy hip and spine development in the child. Ergonomic carriers, such as structured carriers, stretchy wraps, and ring slings, distribute weight evenly. 

What is the difference between a structured carrier, a stretchy wrap, and a ring sling?

A baby carrier is easy to use, adjustable, and supportive. Suitable for carrying children of various ages. Tricot Sling is soft and flexible to use. It is popular for newborns and small babies. Ring sling is suitable for short-term carrying, as it is easy and quick to put on in different situations. Babywearing jacket allows you to go outdoors with your child, as it enables carrying under outerwear. Protects both mother and baby from the weather. 

How do I choose the right baby carrier?

The choice of carrier depends on the wearer's preferences, as well as the child's age and size. A wrap may be the best option for a small baby and newborn, keeping the baby safely close to the wearer's body. Using a structured carrier is recommended for children aged 6-12 months, as it provides more support for carrying the child. Always choose products from well-known manufacturers to ensure product safety. At that point, it is worth familiarizing yourself with the materials used and other product features to ensure that they meet all quality and safety requirements (fasteners, etc.). 

How do I ensure that the carrier is ergonomic?

The child's correct position is the so-called "frog position," where the knees are higher than the bottom. When carried, the child's back is rounded and supported. Especially with newborns, the head must be well supported. The carrier distributes the weight evenly to the wearer's hips and back, thus not straining just one part of the body. Our carriers are made of high-quality and safe materials, meeting strict quality requirements. 

Can a newborn be carried in a baby carrier?

A wrap is a great way to carry a newborn baby; especially stretchy wraps and ring slings are suitable for this purpose. Soft, natural fiber, and breathable materials make the products pleasant to use for both the wearer and the carried child. Remember to ensure that the newborn's head is properly supported. 

Outdoor activities and babywearing

With the removable panels of Myllymuksut's babywearing jacket, you can carry your child both in front and on your back. We recommend using a babywearing jacket and babywearing double dickey mam in winter so that the wind does not get between the child and the wearer. The jacket can also be used as a maternity jacket with the help of an additional part. The jacket can also be easily modified into a regular winter jacket.
