What types of baby carriers are available at Babies NZ?
Babies NZ offers a variety of baby carriers, including soft structured carriers, wraps, and ring slings. These carriers cater to different preferences and carrying styles, providing options for both front and back carrying to ensure comfort for both you and your baby.
How do I choose the right baby carrier for my needs?
When selecting a baby carrier, consider your lifestyle and how you plan to use it. Look for features such as ease of use, comfort, and support. Soft structured carriers are great for everyday use, while wraps offer versatility. Additionally, check weight limits and adjustability to ensure a good fit as your baby grows.
Are baby carriers safe for my baby?
Yes, baby carriers at Babies NZ are designed with safety in mind. Always follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for usage and ensure your baby is positioned correctly—upright with their legs in an "M" position and their airways clear. Regularly inspect the carrier for wear and ensure all straps and buckles are secure before each use.
How should I care for my baby carrier?
To care for your baby carrier, follow the cleaning instructions on the label. Most fabric carriers can be spot cleaned with mild soap and water, while some may be machine washable. Always check for specific care requirements, and avoid using harsh detergents. Store the carrier in a cool, dry place when not in use. Regularly inspect for any signs of wear and tear.
Choosing the Right Baby Carrier for Every Stage
Not sure which baby carrier is best for your little one’s age or needs? We’ve got you covered! At Babies.co.nz, we stock a variety of carriers NZ families trust—from soft wraps to structured designs, so you can find the perfect fit for every stage of your parenting journey.
Soft Wrap Carriers
Ideal for Newborns (0–4 months)
Perfect for those early bonding moments, soft wrap carriers are made from stretchy, breathable fabric that hugs your baby close to your chest. They offer a womb-like experience for newborns and are great for skin-to-skin contact, breastfeeding on the go, and calming fussy babies. Lightweight and easy to adjust, wrap carriers are best suited for indoor use or short outings during the first few months.
Ergonomic Baby Carriers
For Infants to Toddlers (4 months–3 years+)
Once your baby has better head and neck control, an ergonomic carrier provides the added structure and support needed for longer adventures. These carriers are designed to evenly distribute your baby’s weight across your shoulders and hips, making them ideal for all-day wear. Many ergonomic models grow with your child, offering multiple carry positions—front-facing, back carry, and hip carry to keep both you and your little explorer comfortable.
Toddler Carriers
For Growing Kids (12 months+)
For busy toddlers who still love to be carried but are a bit too big for standard carriers, toddler-specific models offer extra room and reinforced support. These are great for travel, hiking, or when those little legs get tired.
