backpack carrier baby carriers image
Sunny
My hubby and I are expecting our first baby and we wanted a baby carrier that can be worn in the front or the back. When I read about Baby Bjorns, it says "front or rear facing" but I'm thinking that means the baby can face inward or outward... are there any that can be worn in the front or back?
Answer
Wraps are the most versatile - you can carry baby on your front, back, or hip, and in different positions. If you'd prefer a structured carrier, the Ergo can go front or back.

At which age did you start to carry baby on your back?

My little daughter is three months, two weeks old. She can hold up her head pretty well, but can't sit yet, of course. I have an ergo-baby carrier and a sling. However, both seemed to be laid out to carry a baby her age in front, rather than on the back. At which age would it be safe for baby to be carried on my back?
Answer
I used a sling with my son, using different positions at different ages, according to what was comfortable at the time. I eventually bought a different backpack carrier when he really seemed to outgrow the sling. In our case, he was about a year old when I finally started using the backpack regularly. He was small for his age though, so that made front carrying possible for longer than most!
It depends on your carrier, but some front carriers and most back carriers recommend the baby be around 6 months old for the sake of spinal development. Slings tend to be better for young babies because they hold the babies in more natural positions. Young babies prefer to be curled up with their entire body supported, rather than stretched out or in a position with their legs dangling. Back carriers are generally better for older babies who are stable sitting on their own.
