To try and help you decide which Carrier is best suited to you we have developed the tables below. These discuss a few key areas of to be considered when making this choice.

Which Carrier is best?	Baby Sling	Carry Wrap	Pouch Pack
For breast feeding	The diagonal cradle position is the natural position for breastfeeding and allows for discreet feeding in public	Can put baby in a diagonal position for breastfeeding with carrier itself providing cover	Can place baby on a diagonal or keep upright with carrier shape making for discreet feeding
Temperature wise	Coolest carrier – can make an air gap by moving  the sling around your body	Wear one less layer as the wrap is like a quality  weight t-shirt	Wool padding will draw away moisture keeping you comfortable even on a long tramp
How much time do you have?	Quickest to put on – one click and you’re in or out	Tie on before setting out and baby can be put in and out up to three times without needing to re-tie	Quick to put on but not necessarily comfortable to sit in or drive with it on
For longer periods of time	Need to swap shoulders after 20-30 minutes	Weight is spread across your torso so comfortably that the wrap feels like a second skin	Ergonomic design with most of  baby’s weight on your hips. Baby is close to your centre of gravity which is great for your back
Travelling in an aeroplane	Ideal versatility of positions – you can even sleep with baby safely on your lap	Very comfortable and cosy, but difficult to loosen when sitting	Packs in to a small bundle so ideal to take in your bag
If you have back issues	Always wear your baby high so you don’t strain your lower back. The hip seat position helps ensure you don’t put your back out by jutting your hip sideways:creates natural counterbalance	The best! Remember to keep baby’s weight above the navel	Ergonomic design with comfortably shaped shoulder pads and waistband is tailored to fit your body
If your baby has reflux or colic	Better to use an upright carrier	Excellent tummy to chest contact helps baby’s digestion	Great upright  carrier that’s comfortable enough to wear full-time if need be

Which position?	Baby Sling (0 months – 3 years)	Carry Wrap (0 months to 12/18 months)	Pouch Pack (3 months – 3 years)
0-3 months	Use in the diagonal cradle position from newborn	Absolutely excellent for newborns and especially for premature babies, as it replicates the experience in the womb during the fourth trimester	Can be used with newborns as the soft body of the pack will gently support baby: no insert required
3 months +	Baby can be sat upright, with their head above the rail, or in the kangaroo position	Have baby facing in majority of time, with outwards-facing position being used for only short periods of time	Use in the ‘froggy’ position with baby on the front only
6 months +	Around now you’d want to start using the hip-seat position	As baby is getting heavier you might like to try a different tie and use the hip-seat position	Baby can put their feet out and will now be big enough to start wearing on the back
12 months to 3 years	Can use as a hip seat up to 3 years or 20kg	Wouldn’t use much past 12-18 months. Stretch fabrics not recommended for back wearing.	Begin using the optional higher back-panel , you can carry even a large toddler quite comfortably up to 25kg
