When to Switch from a Soft Carrier to a Toddler Carrier

Every family moves at a different pace. Use these clear signs:

• Weight over 25 lb, back and shoulders feel strained.
• Panel no longer supports knee to knee, legs hang low.
• Discomfort after short carries, pressure points build fast.
• Frequent carries for school runs, park visits, travel queues.
• Need for more positions to match different activities.

A toddler carrier handles extra weight and height with stronger support. Think of this as a purposeful upgrade for comfort and fit.

How to Wear a Toddler Carrier

Every outing brings a new challenge. Pick the position that fits the moment:

• Front carry: Close contact for busy spaces or calm time.
• Back carry: Balanced support for long walks, errands, and travel lines.
• Hip carry: Easy eye line to explore while staying supported.
