Tips for Choosing a Baby Wrap or Carrier for Toddlers and Tots

Here are a few things to consider when shopping for gifts like this for a new little person or your own family:

1. Age: As every parent knows, shopping for a newborn is much different than shopping for a little person running through their toddler years. If you need something to help you snuggle a new bub around the house, a classic body wrap is a great option. Able to accommodate babies up to 13kg, you can keep your small one close hands free without losing contact day to day.
   
   
2. Size: Babies come in every shape, size, height and weight. Many baby carriers are sized by weight, not age, to ensure a secure fit and safe hold. If your little one is slightly over or under their average weight for their age range, fear not. We have carriers and wraps that are most often selected by size.
   
   
3. Use: Are you looking to be more hands free around the house? Looking for a piece that can withstand the elements for an easy outside walk? We recommend considering the likely use of each piece before examining the materials. For outdoor use, consider products that are built to withstand the elements like UV rays, rain and cold weather snaps.
   
   
4. Material: Classic body wraps are often made from 100% cotton to be breathable for you and your baby, while also ensuring a one-size-fits-all approach as your little one grows. Outdoor pieces often have thicker straps, breathable mesh and material with a Sun Protection Factor to help protect your bub from any harmful rays. This is great for walking, hikes and running errands.
