A soft carrier that keeps a baby close and both hands free for everything else.
A baby carrier suits first time parents who want their hands free for a cup of tea, a walk or the supermarket. Choose the style first: a structured carrier, a wrap or a ring sling. Then check the baby's age and weight range, how many parents will wear it and whether the cover washes.

A baby carrier suits new parents who want their hands free: to make a cup of tea, to walk the dog, to get through the supermarket with a baby who will not be put down. It is a thoughtful gift for a baby shower, because it can help from the early weeks and keeps being useful as the baby grows.
It also suits the second or third baby, when there is a toddler to chase as well.
What to look for in a baby carrier
Style. A structured carrier has buckles and padded straps. A wrap is a long piece of fabric that is tied. A ring sling is a looped piece of fabric worn over one shoulder.
Baby's age and weight. Each carrier gives a range on the listing. Check it covers the age the baby will be.
Who wears it. If two parents will share it, look for adjustable straps that fit different heights and builds.
Carrying positions. Some carry the baby facing in, and some also carry facing out or on the back.
Fabric and washing. Soft, breathable fabric and a machine-washable cover make life easier.
Support for the wearer. A padded waist belt and wide shoulder straps spread the load.
When a baby carrier is the wrong gift
A carrier is a personal fit, and many parents like to try several on before choosing one. If they have mentioned a particular brand or style, buy that, or give them a gift card to choose. If they already own a carrier, another one is less welcome than a nappy bag or a soft toy.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a baby carrier, a wrap and a sling?
A structured carrier has buckles and padded straps and goes on like a backpack. A wrap is a long piece of fabric that is tied around the wearer. A ring sling is a loop of fabric worn over one shoulder. The listing names the style.
What age and weight does a baby carrier suit?
Each carrier gives a range on the listing, with a lower and an upper limit. Check it covers the age the baby will be when the gift is used, and read the instructions that come with it before the first wear.
Is a baby carrier a good baby shower gift?
It can be, and it sits well among baby shower gift ideas, since many parents use one from the early weeks. Fit is personal, though, so ask what they have in mind first, or choose a gift card from a baby store so they can try carriers on before picking one.
