Baby carriers~There is a wide range of baby carriers on the market and most fall into 3 basic categories. The over the shoulder type, that cradles the baby on your front or side, the wrap around type, consisting of a long wide peice of fabric that wraps and ties around parent and baby, and finally, the type mostly sold on the highstreet, upright carriers that have baby suspended by their pelvic floor. Then there is the Wilkinet. ~~~1105~1107~~

Wilkinet Baby Carrier~ We consider this to be one of the most versatile and secure baby carriers on the market. Once "tied" to your body, your baby is safe and secure and can't fall out, even when you bend down, leaving you to carry on with your life while taking baby with you.

The Wilkinet Baby carrier is a very versatile and safe way to carry your baby. Most babies are happier and more settled when carried close to mother's body. We used the Wilkinet and it was out fvourite baby carrier. The following is Wilkinet's own information, they put it so well, I don't feel the need to add much more.

WHY CHOOSE THE WILKINET?
The Wilkinet Baby Carrier adapts to the changing needs of you and your baby. It gently cocoons a tiny 2.5kg (5lbs) newborn yet is strong enough to carry chunky toddlers! You can use the Wilkinet to carry your baby facing in on the front, facing out on the front (usually not before 3 months/6½-7kg/13–14lbs) on the hip and on the back.

Some of the advantages of choosing the Wilkinet over other baby carriers and slings are:

1. The Wilkinet holds your baby onto and against your upper body. Your baby’s weight is drawn towards you rather than pulling away from you
2. The Wilkinet works like a wraparound shawl but without the parent being engulfed in wide bands of cloth. Buckle fastened carriers tend to ride up the parent’s back as the weight of the baby, which is suspended through leg-holes and hanging off parent’s shoulders, drags downwards. This causes pain across parent’s upper back and neck and can result in the parent instinctively using their arms to support baby’s weight to relieve the discomfort.
3. Wide well-padded shoulder straps and unique wraparound method of tying. Ensures evenly distributed weight with no dragging on your neck, shoulders or back.
4. Cushioned head, back and leg support for your baby. In the early weeks when you carry your baby facing in on the front the Wilkinet will cuddle your new baby snugly and firmly, supporting under its bottom and thighs, and providing support for his/her back and head as if being held in your arms.
5. No rings, zips, clips or buckles. Nothing to break and render your Wilkinet useless, it will last for many years and through several children.
