The American Academy of Pediatrics is a strong proponent of what it calls “baby-wearing” both as a response to an infant crying and as a way to prevent crying and promote parent-child attachment. When picking the best baby carriers for dads, you can choose between wraps, slings, soft-structured carriers, and frame backpacks. Different carriers offer different holds, usually front-facing and/or with the baby carried in the back. Comfort is key, so make sure it’s comfortable, easy to adjust, and able to grow with your baby. If you need four adults and 20 minutes to get the straps fastened and your child positioned correctly, trust us, you’ll never use the thing. Here, then, are some of the best baby carriers for men.
