Why Buckle Carriers Are Fabulous and Why You Need One of Your Own!
Buckle carriers are fast becoming the most popular carriers we offer, and for good reason. These supportive and comfortable carriers are easy to use, convenient and very very comfortable for both you and your baby. They are also far and away the favorite choice for Dads.
Many of our buckle carriers can be used from birth, but it's once your little one is 4-6 months old that buckle carriers like the ERGO carrier really shine Your baby is starting to want to get up and down more often, and a carrier that is quick and easy to put on is a huge bonus. Also, your baby is getting heavier, and you're going to be wanting a carrier that draws some of that weight to your hips, and off your shoulders and back. You may also be wanting to wear baby on your back, which is ergonomically better and more comfortable for you. Two-shoulderd buckle carriers can be used until your child is 45 lbs, which usually takes you through the toddler years (or beyond!).
If this is your first baby, you may be starting to get out and about more, and buckle carriers are wonderful for travel. They are relatively compact, are easy on/off and can carry your child comfortably for hours. Also, they are easy to switch between users of different sizes, and most dads will easily consent to wear one.
The SlingLady highly recommends that every household have at least one buckle carrier. This is a carrier that you will use for as long as you carry your child so the extra investment is completely worth it. Plus, buckle carriers like the Beco, Ergo, Pikkolo and Scootababy come in fabulous prints and patterns - you're sure to fall in love with one!
