Baby carriers for babies weighing less than 3.5 kg

The standards for baby carriers and slings in Europe require a minimum weight of 3.5 kg (7,7 lbs). No baby carrier manufacturer can therefore officially claim to use a baby carrier under 3 kg.

Nevertheless, most parents can carry an infant under the weight indicated in the baby carrier or sling without worry. Of course, it is important to choose a physiological baby carrier that is adapted to the physiology and morphology of a newborn. It is important to make sure that the airways are clear and visible and that the baby is in a sitting position and not lying down.

In the case of a very premature baby, it is recommended to ask the doctor's advice.

The baby wraps

For the most suitable babywearing, we strongly recommend the use of a wrap. The wrap is used from birth. It is the most physiological approach that will really wrap your baby and respect the curve of his back.

only one type of baby carrier is recommended: the physiological or ergonomic baby carrier with a booster/headrest to be adapted from birth. It is necessary to take care that the physiology of baby is respected
the baby wrap remains the most recommended way to carry an infant

If your baby is premature, it is best to ask your doctor.
