The Science of Babywearing: Carriers Are King
, by Tivoli Media, 1 min reading time
For centuries, parents around the world have carried their babies close — and today, babywearing is more popular than ever. Using a baby carrier isn’t just practical; it offers real benefits for both parent and child.
Babywearing helps build a strong bond between you and your little one. Pediatric research shows that newborns are comforted by familiar sounds such as their parent’s heartbeat and voice, both of which they continue to hear while being carried close. Experts also note that skin-to-skin contact and upright carrying can help regulate a baby’s temperature, breathing, and emotional security. Parents, in turn, enjoy the reassurance of having their child right against them. Carriers also make everyday life easier, giving you two free hands to cook, shop, or play with older siblings while keeping your baby safe and content.
Not all carriers are the same — some are designed for newborn closeness, others for everyday convenience, and some for more adventurous outings. Here’s a quick guide to help you choose the right one for your lifestyle:
Gaia Baby Stretchy Baby Wrap Pure Tencel™ – soft, breathable, and perfect for keeping newborns close in the early weeks. Ideal for cosy days at home.
Ergobaby Omni 360 – a versatile all-rounder with multiple carry positions. Great for everyday use, from shopping trips to walks.
Mountain Buggy Juno Infant Carrier – designed with ergonomic support and adventure in mind. A sturdy choice for active parents and longer outings.
Ergobaby Adapt Carrier – adjusts as your baby grows, making it a reliable option for parents who want one carrier from newborn through toddler years.
Whether you want the closeness of a wrap, the flexibility of an everyday carrier, or the strength of an adventure-ready design, babywearing makes life easier while keeping your little one safe and comforted.
