Babywearing

How can I make sure I'm babywearing Safely?

It is as simple as remembering your T.I.C.K.S Rule for Safe Babywearing

Source: UK Sling Consortium

Tight: Slings & carriers should be tight enough to hug your baby close to you, as this will be most comfortable for you both. Any slack/loose fabric will allow your baby to slump down in the carrier which can hinder their breathing and pull on your back.


In View at all times: You should always be able to see your baby’s face by simply glancing down. The fabric of a sling or carrier should not close around them so you have to open it to check on them. In a cradle position your baby should face upwards not be turned in towards your body.


Close enough to kiss: Your baby’s head should be as close to your chin as is comfortable. By tipping your head forward you should be able to kiss your baby on the head or forehead.


Keep Chin off Chest: A baby should never be curled so their chin is forced onto their chest, as this can restrict their breathing. Ensure there is always a space of at least a finger width under your baby’s chin.


Supported Back: In an upright carry, a baby should be held comfortably close to the wearer, so their back is supported in its natural position and their tummy and chest are against you. If a sling is too loose, they can slump which can partially close their airway.
(This can be tested by placing a hand on your baby’s back and pressing gently – they should not uncurl or move closer to you.)
A baby in a cradle carry in a pouch or ring sling should be positioned carefully with their bottom in the deepest part, so the sling does not fold them in half pressing their chin to their chest.

If you still have questions, we recommend finding your local sling library and book a consultation with a babywearing consultant.

 Is the Beco Baby Carrier Comfortable for Your Baby?

Yes, we’ve built a reputation for making carriers that are comfortable, stylish and safe for your little one. Our carriers are designed to ensure that your baby is ergonomically positioned to support the natural development of their hips and spine. They also feature breathable mesh fabrics that keep both you and your little one cooler in warm weather.

When Is It Safe to Move to a Back Carry Position in a Baby Carrier? 

Carrying a newborn in a baby carrier is an excellent way to keep your infant close and accessible for hugs and kisses. We highly recommend this form of carrying for small babies.

As soon as baby is able to hold and control his or her own head (usually around 6 months of age), you can begin to carry in a back-carry position. Our carriers include an adjustable base to accommodate your baby's growth.

Beco Baby Carriers - Comfort for All Parents?

Yes, Beco baby carriers are designed to be comfortable and ergonomic for parents of all sizes. They feature adjustable shoulder straps, a wide stance waistband, and contoured shoulder padding to provide maximum comfort during long periods of wear.

We also privide waist extenders for the carriers to the parents that need them.

What is babywearing?

Babywearing is the practice of using a baby carrier or wrap to carry a baby close to the body while they are still young. It has long been used by many cultures and is gaining popularity in modern times due to its numerous health benefits. It allows parents to keep their babies calm, safe, and content for extended periods of time.

How long can a baby be in a Beco Carrier?

There is no limit as to how long you can wear your baby, as long as positioned ergonomically. It's basically limited by how long you want to go between diaper changes. Just go with what you and your baby are comfortable with.

Can you use a Beco Baby Carrier with a newborn?

Yes, you can use your Beco Gemini or 8 carrier for carrying your newborn.

The Beco 8 carrier comes with a removable infant insert that easily adjusts and our Beco Gemini has a convertible seat. Both carriers are designed to grow with your baby and have adjustable straps to provide the best fit possible. Additionally they both have a convenient built-in head and neck support system which helps to keep your newborn’s head secure and comfortable while in the carrier.

Can I wear a toddler in Beco Carrier?

Yes, you can safely wear a toddler in a Beco carrier. We even have a genius toddler carrier that is designed to fit bigger babies and beyond, weighing between 20 and 60 lbs, so it is suitable for most children up to the age of 4 or 5 years old. The ergonomic design of the carrier makes it comfortable for both the wearer and child and provides plenty of support while carrying your toddler around.

Is It Safe to Use a Baby Carrier When Pregnant?

Beco Baby Carriers can generally be used during pregnancy. However, you should always make sure that the carrier fits comfortably. Always consult your doctor or midwife before using the carrier if you are pregnant.

When Is It Safe To Carry a Baby in a facing forward position?

Carrying a newborn in a baby carrier is an excellent way to keep your infant close and accessible for hugs and kisses. We highly recommend carrying smaller babies on the front, facing IN only.
As soon as your baby is able to hold and control his or her own head (usually around 6 months of age), you can begin to carry them facing out for short periods of time.
When carrying your baby facing out, please ensure:

  • you do so for short periods of time, babies can get overstimulated quickly,
  • Your baby is fully awake when facing away from you,
  • That your baby’s legs are still in a spread squat position and not dangling down.

When your baby is able to fully sit up unsupported by themselves, you can also try out the back carry position.

How long after c section can you start using Beco Carrier?

Though every individual’s healing process is unique and the care given should be tailored to the individual, most medical professionals suggest waiting at least 6 weeks after a c-section before using any type of baby carrier. It is best to discuss with your healthcare provider what will work for your particular situation.

Safe and Cool Baby Wearing Tips in Hot Weather

Our Beco Gemini Cool carriers are designed with warmer weather in mind. Why miss out on all the adventures when our built-in mesh can provide ample ventilation for your baby’s comfort. Additionally, try wearing lightweight clothing, look for breathable fabrics for both you and baby, go light on the layers and keep an eye out for overheating. You might also want to plan your outings around cooler areas of the day.

Are Beco Carriers Good for Your Baby’s Hips?

Beco Carriers are ergonomic carriers and support the natural M-shape of the baby’s legs and hips when carried. The deep bucket seat ensures safety and optimal load distribution, while the adjustable knee-to-knee support prevents babies from sliding out or down inside a carrier. This makes our Beco carriers perfect for long walks with your child, as it will keep them comfortable without putting any extra strain on their hips or groin.
