1. Features: Most important purchase criteria for baby carriers

1.1 Age

It is extremely important for the parents to follow the guidelines regarding the baby’s age and weight while choosing a baby carrier. Many of the readymade structured carriers require the baby to be at least 6 months old. Some structured carriers also provide support to the spine of newborns. But most importantly parents should ensure that there is no chance for suffocation of the child inside the carrier and he or she should be absolutely comfortable and at ease.

1.2 Washability

The washability is yet another important and obvious consideration for the baby carriers because it is used for a longer duration. Many of the loose fabric options such as ring slings and wraps can be easily washed using a washer and dryer. Whereas, most soft structure careers that are more popular in the market these days are hand washable. However, structured carriers have more seams, pockets, padding, etc.  which makes it a bit difficult to wash them thoroughly.

1.3 Seat Width
