Baby carriers and baby wraps

What's better? The band or the fanny pack?

Depends.

If we talk about the   newborn wrap , compared to the baby carrier, it is certainly more enveloping and this makes it ideal even from the first months of birth, because there will be 100% maternal contact. In most cases, the   baby carrier band   it can be used in two standard positions, i.e. facing the mother or behind, always facing the mother's back. As far as assembly is concerned, it could be more complicated initially, but with the right advice and a little training it will become a piece of cake. Another difference that the band has compared to the pouch is the material that composes it, in fact it is much more elastic, in order to make it more enveloping and simple to widen and tighten as we like.

If instead we talk about the pouch, the advantages and differences compared to the band are certainly the ease of assembly, which is much more intuitive. But that's not all, in fact another thing that makes the pouch comfortable are the different positions that we can assume. In addition to the two standard positions, in some baby carriers we may also have the side position and the forward facing position. Furthermore, all baby carriers are equipped with headrests to support the child's head and to protect it from blows.

How long can we wear the fanny pack or sling?

On average, a   ergonomic pouch   it has a capacity of up to 15 kg, and in some cases even up to 20 kg. Compared to the sling, the difference is that if we wanted to use it from birth it will always be advisable to insert a reducer inside.
