Best Baby Carriers

The best carrier I have used and I have tried at least half a dozen over a period of a few weeks each. Being short (5’2”) I have found it hard to… Read more

find the right carrier for me. The Redsbaby connect plus is by far the best for me. It’s supwr comfortable! It is also very easy to put on and off by yourself with no additional help. It’s comfortable for my bub and I, he always falls asleep when he’s in it. I wear it around the house also as he is a clingy baby. The other fantastic thing is that my wife is tall (6 foot) and also wears it comfortably for her and bub. Bonus we don’t need to buy two different ones. Being able to roll down the front layers and pack away in the zip is brilliant. Super comfortable and the best one I have tried. The video on the website was really helpful. I was a little hesitant to buy it as I had tried so many and I couldn’t try this one on, was happy to hear I could get a refund if I wasn’t happy. So so happy I decided to buy it. Highly recommend you give it a go!

Do NOT recommend – If I could give this zero I would. If you have a few extra hours to put this on then this might be for you and you probably don't have a newborn.… Read more

It's long and fiddly, so impractical if you're out in public and chances are the wrap will be dragged along the ground whilst trying to put it on. It offers no neck support for your newborn. It's uncomfortable for both parent and baby.

The best wrap for a tiny newborn. You get the comfort of being close to your bub with the peace of mind that the wrap checks all the safety… Read more

requirements. Because it’s not a traditional wrap ( a long fabric), it makes it easier to wear and supportive on the back. Very convenient and comfortable to wear for long.

It hurt my back. I'm surprised at the reviews – It hurt my back so I've gone with a different brand now. Also not that easy to put on. It wasn't as bad for my husband who has wide shoulders.

Beautiful baby carrier. There are so many on the market it's very hard to choose. We found a lot of carriers were more focused around aesthetics over… Read more

the actual safety and comfort of the baby but the Joey nails both of these things. It's super practical, designed with the safety of bubs as priority and is also nice to look at, we couldn't be happier.

Surprisingly helpful piece of kit – This along with any other carrier isn't for the weak. Im 170cm and can hold myself well which assists in using this product. Whilst babies feel like… Read more

they weigh nothing in the beginning I like how it can be adjusted and readjusted to cater for bigger kids and while it does distribute the weight nicely ( better than holding them), weaklings will probably complain. The actual product weighs nothing and is honeycombed.

They sit in securely and it looks comfortable for me and bub. They do seem to like to suck the edges which I try to discourage so I clip on a dummy. Head and neck are well protected and the bub really likes it and has fallen asleep a few times in it which I recommend to foster strong relationships, especially between hubby and baby. Provided they face you and you can see their nose/mouth to breathe, you can just leave them as there shouldn't be a sids risk (not a doctor). Any bending over will need your hand to help to support bub and ensure they don't slide out the top, I imagine this is a fault in all carrier designs.

I haven't done long walks, I don't think mine would want too tho, they're really into everything but for hands free around the house and short walks it's so unbelievably helpful.

Also, don't pay full retail Facebook marketplace and eBay have them for sale constantly at 1/3 the price which I recommend if your on the fence on getting a carrier at all. Just put it in the hottest washing machine setting to kill anything and your good to go.

I never bought any inserts or newborn version of carriers as bub was big. After 4 weeks bub was big enough for this so would have been a waste of money. To be honest you should be resting before that time anyway. Bub is also too small for me to comment on back carrying.

Best purhcase ive ever made! – Absolutely love my boba wrap! The material can get a little hot In the peaks of summer but apart from that theres nothing negative I can really say… Read more

about it! All round amazing product and would recommend to any mum in the market look at similar products! Money well spent.

Every parent needs! – I used this since my baby was newborn to now (she is 8 months). During winter she was snug facing inwards and I could go on walks / shops! Now she’s… Read more

bigger and it’s summer she faces outwards and loves watching what’s happening around us! Definitely a must for all parents! Super handy if you have a clingy or colicky baby! It’s so comfy for the baby and so easy to put on!

Love It! – I love my Baby K'tan Breeze. It is such a lovely light weight easy to use design. I have a bigger baby boy and the wrap tucks him in very securely so… Read more

i know his safe while still having my hands free. Absolutely perfect for travelling on your own with bub! Very impressed. I bought mine off SlingsNThings website - came very quick - great service.

Great quality carriers – The BabyBjorn Mini has proven to be a great quality investment for my family. It's an excellent compact carrier to wear both around the home whilst… Read more

doing daily tasks, and when out, to keep little ones safe and close with hands free. I always liked the idea of this carrier over a wrap, because I felt more secure using slide anchors/clips (over twists and knots) and found it very easy to put on whilst holding baby. As I was having twins, I had also purchased a second carrier - the Baby Bjorn One Air, for my husband. However, the mini was the better fitting option for early on. We were aware the compact mini model wouldn't last as long before babies outgrew it, but I chose to have the least bulky carrier, with no waist band for the earlier months after a scheduled caesarian. The only down falls I have found are that babies legs appear less comfortable when facing outwards from the carrier's chest and you can't purchase spare replacement parts should you need them for safety reasons. I have found all of my Baby Bjorn purchases to be quality constructed products. The Baby Bjorn Mini is priced fairly considering price per wear, the customer service team in Aust are extremely helpful and best of all it comes in a variety of fabrics, colours and patterns.

Great value! My babe loves this! – The perfect hands free accessory, Bub loves being in the cub carrier and falls asleep in no time while I do a quick vacuum! So glad I purchased this after it was recommended by Janelle QLD rep! A must have! Show details

Great value – I was hesitant about purchasing the walkabout sling after reading other reviews, but for the price I decided to go for it. I think it was sub great… Read more

value for money. Once I got the hang of how to use it, it is very quick and easy to use, and when you get bub in the right spot it is super comfortable. I find the shoulder gathering needs to be spread well over my shoulder and I tuck the excess material under the ring for extra comfort. My limit is about 10-1( minutes with it but it’s perfect for watering the garden etc. very happy with it and great value for money.

Great backpack child carrier – I love this backpack. We bought it 6 years ago to carry around our first child (9 months old) during an overseas trip. We still had our lightweight… Read more

pram, but when access for pram is not possible eg footpath in Asia, places with a lot stairs or hills, or even boarding onto the plane, then he went into the backpack. It also allowed me to have two free hands. The backpack has generous sized pockets, allowing us to put the baby stuff eg bottles, nappies, spare clothes, etc without having to carry another baby bag.

Once we had our second child, then one of them would go into the backpack while the other into the pram or walk if they're not tired. This allow me to look after two kids, while the mom can do/carry other stuff. The kids always love the ride, or

The backpack is well built. I found the weight loading is well distributed around my body. I can carry our child for hours without feeling pains. I did try to carry our eldest who is now 20+kg, and I still can do it quite comfortably. I think the frame definitely helps you carrying heavy loads.

Note that small built moms like my wife would probably find the backpack too big and heavy. Hence she doesn't use it. She is only around <50kg and around 145cm. The BabyBjorn or the ERGObaby styles suit them better. We have them as well. But IMO they're mainly for babies or young toddlers. good weight support, plenty storage, rugged design, has matching accessories eg sunshade and rain cover a bit on the heavy side for small built people

It doesn’t fit me – It look okay but it’s hard to put the baby in and out. It doesn’t have a picked the the mum can reach when carrying the baby. It pulls on your shoulders and it gives me a headache. The weight isn’t distributed well and instead heavily on shoulders Show details

Good comfortable pack, not built like the old macpacs – Comfortable pack to wear. Rain protection is good for the little person being carried. Be careful when putting the pack down. My one was torn on the… Read more

stretchy elastic part that basically sits on the ground when you put the pack down after only 2 uses to a total of 10km. I would rather carry the extra 100g and have this made out of a rugged material that can be placed on any ground conditions. As I have found out a rip in this material is not covered under warranty so be weary when placing the pack down and not to brush past any bushes/ trees. I wish they could go back to making a slightly heavier pack out of the rugged canvas. Old school Macpac lover.

Excellent – My Hippychick has been amazing - a lifesaver for my bad back. I would recommend it to anyone with a heavy baby or toddler. Easy to take anywhere, washes in the machine, simple to put on Gets a bit sweaty around my tummy in the summer

I have to say I hate this carrier. I really wanted to love it and I really tried but I've given up. It's just too difficult. I had a video fit check… Read more

with a lady who was very lovely but it only improved things a little. There's just so many things you have to get exactly right otherwise your back hurts or it cuts off circulation to baby's legs etc etc. And having a postpartum body with a big belly pouch it's very difficult to get the waistband exactly parallel, especially when you can't adjust it while you're wearing it. It squishes my saggy, breastfeeding breasts down to almost baby's knees which means I can't lift her knees up at all, and the outer seam is extremely tight behind her knees in every position of the snaps underneath her. It seems like there's nowhere for baby's arms to go either. All in all just a huge pain. Pretty upset I spent so much on it.

perfect – i love it. its perfect for me and my baby Show details

I Didn't like it as a carrier – I was very disappointed with this carrier. I bought it as my baby boy loves facing outwards. In the beginning I thought it might have been my… Read more

inexperience with this carrier that made it so uncomfortable.

But I have given up using it now, my boy's top part of his body isn't very secure in it and he keeps tipping forward.

Also to many clips and straps (one around my waist and one around my shoulder, one around each baby's leg and one around baby's waist) and you have to sit down to put your baby in it. The 3 way use (carrier/ high chair / shopping trolley seat) could be handy as a back up carrier in the car It's hard to put it on, the easiest way is to sit down to strap your baby in. I found it very unstable, my baby is very active and he would tip forward all the time. It also hurt my shoulder very quickly.

Buy from any retailer rather than their website! – I feel the hip seat is not as good as my ergobaby 360 carrier, so I decided to return it. The customer service is a waste. After spending $20+… Read more

postage, after the return was received half a month ago, after two emails asking if the refund was processed, no refund was received by now.

Just do not buy anything from the ergobaby website!

UPDATE: finally received the order 2 months later, carrier was not the colour I ordered and it stunk like chemicals. It is a crunchy material and I… Read more

honestly don’t think it is safe. I ended up washing it and the threads came apart in certain areas. You would be better off buying from SHEIN.

I ordered on 16th of January 2026. I have still not received my order. I ordered because I believed they were an AUS company as address is listed in Perth. Shipping started in China, then got “lost”. Customer support had said that they resent and I have still not received. I have asked for refund multiple times. It is now 16th March. Do not order from this company.

Terrible manufacturing errors affect performance – We tried one on in the store and bought another colour. When we tried it on at home the fit was totally different with our sons head way too far back… Read more

even with the straps as tight as they go. We took it back to the store and found the straps were different lengths. Phil and teds have refused to refund us claiming this difference is a variance. Our sons head sits about 8cm further back, which in turn puts massive strain on the wearers back. Phil and teds have been rude and unhelpful. We will not buy from Phil and Ted or associated brands again!
