What type of baby carrier should I choose?

Fostering the bond between you and your child, a baby wrap reassures them. As such, it must be carefully chosen to meet your needs and those of your baby. Mōom Paris offers various baby carrier products.

The different types of baby carriers available at Mōom Paris

You've recently given birth. You're probably wondering: what is the best baby wrap for your newborn or even your child who is a few months old? At Mōom Paris, we have listed 4 main types of baby carriers available on the market.

The preformed baby carrier

Easy to use, we recommend this type of baby carrier for beginner parents who want to avoid babywearing classes. With no need for tying, you simply put it on with clips like a backpack, ensuring a good position for your child. Two types of preformed baby carriers are available on the market: the standard model with an infant insert and the newborn-specific one. The seat of the latter model is not adjustable. You need to add a newborn insert to be able to carry your baby. Easy to handle, our standard preformed baby carrier is adjustable, and its seat is modular with Velcro. We recommend it for carrying children from birth until they weigh 20 kg.

The stretchy or woven baby wrap

This type of baby wrap ensures comfortable carrying for you and your child. Respectful of your little one and their morphology, this product creates no tension on the carried. Furthermore, you guarantee a pleasant position for your child. The woven fabric baby wrap is perfect for carrying your newborn from birth. Made of jacquard or broken twill fabric, it guarantees a fold-by-fold carry, essential for safe babywearing. Our woven baby carriers are of high quality. They also feature adapted knots such as the kangaroo or the cross wrap.

The stretchy fabric baby wrap is very popular with newborns and children a few months old. Physiological and easy to install, the product gives the impression of a second skin that your child will greatly appreciate. Opting for a stretchy wrap allows you to tie certain knots in advance. We recommend it for baby's first few months if you are comfortable tying simple knots.

The Mei Tai baby carrier

The Mei Tai is the baby carrier we recommend if you are not very keen on knots. An excellent compromise between wraps and slings, this baby carrier can be used to carry your baby from an early age and your child who is a few months old. The Mei Tai is available in two different models: the classic model, which is fully tied, especially at the waist and shoulder straps. You can also opt for the hybrid Mei Tai baby carrier, where only the shoulder straps need to be tied. Here, the waistband is buckled and secured, similar to a preformed baby carrier.

The ring sling

The ring sling baby carrier comes in knitted or woven versions. It is a knot-free carrier that takes up little space and is easy to store. It is also easily handled thanks to its rings. It is also the ideal carrier for newborns, as well as for your child a few months old. It also facilitates discreet breastfeeding. Asymmetrical, this carrying method is worn on one shoulder. For long walks, the wearer or parent should therefore plan for another baby carrier to be at hand. Finally, it is one of the most affordable baby carrier models.

Criteria to consider when choosing your baby carrier

Regardless of the type, Mōom Paris advises you to consider certain parameters to find the ideal baby carrier for your baby or child who is a few months old.

Consider your needs

The needs for using baby carriers are multiple and varied. For use from your baby's birth, we recommend, for example, a baby wrap or a sling. You can also choose an adjustable preformed baby carrier that can be adjusted at the seat and panel. Depending on your baby's development, from 0 to 5 years old, you can also choose 4 types of baby carriers. We recommend the knitted or stretchy wrap, the preformed baby carrier, and the Mei Tai.

If you are a new parent, you are certainly not used to baby wraps. Mōom Paris then recommends a quick and easy-to-install baby carrier. You will have the choice between the preformed baby carrier, the sling, and the stretchy knitted wrap. In addition, the baby carrier adapts to all body types. As you will have understood, Mōom Paris advises you to choose between stretchy or woven wraps, preformed models, Mei Tai baby carriers, and slings. In hot weather, on walks, hikes, at the swimming pool or at the beach, choose a compact and lightweight baby carrier for your child's well-being, as well as your own.

Make your choice according to the characteristics of the baby carrier

To choose your baby carrier, you must also consider the characteristics of the carrier. By this, we mean the material, weight, dimensions, etc. Concerned with making motherhood easier and ensuring a comfortable position for your child, Mōom Paris offers baby wraps made of organic cotton or recycled fabric. Grown with respect for the environment, organic cotton is cultivated without pesticides or GMOs. In addition to committing to eco-responsible consumption, this material for your baby carriers offers many advantages. An organic cotton baby carrier is indeed breathable, soft, and provides you with comfort. Skin-to-skin contact with your child is ensured, which strengthens the parent-infant bond.

Our baby wraps not only limit your infant's crying but also reassure them. You further strengthen the bond with your child and reduce postpartum depression. Machine washable, our Mōom Paris baby carriers give you the freedom to engage in other activities. We generally recommend gentle washing at 30°C. In terms of colors, our baby carriers are distinguished by a wide variety of choices. Solid or hybrid colors. For example, we offer beige, forest green, fish, love, pink, camel, black, verde, or black and milk baby wraps.
