It can be used for various purposes such as hiking, traveling, shopping, or simply holding your child close while you go about your daily activities. There are many different types of baby carriers available including soft-structured carriers, wrap carriers, and framed backpacks. The most important thing is to find a carrier that fits both the parent's body type and the specific needs of their child.
