Many new parents will tell you that a baby carrier is one of the most essential baby purchases. Not only does it give you some valuable ‘hands-free’ time, enabling you to go about your daily business, but being carried this way is of great comfort to babies and many of them will happily drift off into sleep, reassured by your closeness and soothed by your movements. What's more, research suggests that ‘baby wearing’ is a perfect way to strengthen the bond between parent and child. There is also evidence that it can reduce colic and improve a baby’s quality of sleep.

When you’re out and about, a baby carrier or sling has many advantages over a pushchair. Aside from the fact that it is cheaper and you don’t have to worry about manoeuvring around shops and up and down stairs, your baby is kept safe and warm in cold weather, and a fabric sling will keep them well protected from the sun in the summer months.
