Front packs

Front pack carriers are similar to slings in use, but are more complex in structure. They have a seat that attaches to the front of you with straps that crisscross behind you. Here's what you need to know about front packs:

• The benefits are similar to many of those of slings, such as their light weight, portability, and the fact that you can carry your baby while keeping your arms and hands free.

• Choose one that allows you the option to carry your baby facing inward or outward.

• Settling the baby into and out of the carrier requires more steps than a sling does.

• Front packs are better suited to a baby who is strong enough to hold his head upright.
