Babywearing is a wonderful way to keep your baby close and promote bonding while keeping your hands free and here at The Sleep Store, we're big advocates for babywearing. Carrying your baby in a well-fitted baby carrier can help make everyday life a little easier for parents, whilst keeping your little one calm and close to your heartbeat. Whether you're soothing a fussy newborn, want to head out with a toddler or simply trying to get things done around the house, baby carriers offer comfort and convenience for both you and your baby.

At The Sleep Store, we're passionate about helping families find the right carrier. We have several qualified Babywearing Consultants on our team, and every baby carrier purchase includes access to a free babywearing consultation. We'll help you achieve a comfortable fit and ensure your baby is positioned safely.

We stock some of the world's leading baby carrier brands, including Boba, Carifit, Ergobaby, Beco and Wildride, with options to suit newborns through to toddlers and even preschoolers!

Choosing the Right Baby Carrier

The best baby carrier depends on your lifestyle, how you want to carry and the age of your child.

If you're looking for a newborn carrier, softer, stretchy wraps like the Boba Wrap are a great option. Hybrid Carriers are another excellent option, with the same soft, stretchy material, but easier buckle style straps. Also suitable for newborns, are Ring Slings, which are a supportive option for newborns as they support the "C-shape" curve babies are born with. They are simple to use and adjust. Parents looking for a soft structured (or buckle) carrier, which generally have a bit more support and more carry positions, often love the ergonomic designs from Boba and Ergobaby.

For families who are always on the go, navigating airports, trains or buses, a lightweight carrier is a fantastic travel companion. They packs down small and are quick to put on, making them ideal for travelling. If fitness is important and you have an active lifestyle, the innovative Carifit carrier combines ergonomic support with a sleek athleisure design that's perfect for walks and mild exercise. There are many other styles of carriers including Woven Wraps, Onbuhimo carriers or Mei Dah, which all have different benefits and will suit different families. Talk to our Babywearing Experts if you're not sure.

As your child grows, you may find yourself needing support for short carries rather than full-day adventures. Toddler carriers and hip carriers, such as the popular Boba Buddy or Wildride Toddler Carrier, make it much easier to carry older toddlers when their little legs get tired, while still giving them the freedom to walk and explore when they want.

Whatever stage you're at, we're here to help you choose a carrier that's safe, comfortable and suits your family's lifestyle.
