Tips for Getting the Correct Size Carrier at a Store
-
Ask about SAMPLE carriers at the store –
many stores will have these available for
determining accurate sizing. They have been washed
and dried, so they are already at their true size.
-
When you put the carrier on – over your head and one
arm, like a sash – make sure that the strap is flat
across your shoulder and back, not bunched up.
-
Put your open hand with fingers spread down in the
pocket to assimilate some weight.
-
The lowest part of the carrier should not reach
lower than the crease where your leg and torso meet.
It is usually most comfortable for the lowest part
of the carrier to fall just below your belly button;
this is your center of gravity. Some parents prefer
the carrier to be a little higher up on the body,
just below the bust area. See what feels most
comfortable for you.
-
You should be able to open the pocket in front of
you about 5 to 7 inches – that is usually the span
of your hand with fingers spread.
