Baby carriers make doing anything that requires two hands possible for parents of infants and toddlers, from grocery shopping to taking care of another kid. They are also beneficial for bonding, can help calm a fussy baby, are much more compact than a stroller, and can serve as a safe place for infants to nap or even breastfeed while you are on the go.
The best baby carrier for you and your baby will depend on their age and weight, your height and body type, and what kind of activities you’ll be doing while carrying them. If you are primarily wearing your baby at home to get chores done, minimal and soft is the way to go. But if you’re using your baby carrier for extended periods of time, as a means of commuting to day care, or while traveling, you’ll likely need a carrier with more structured support. For this reason, some parents own more than one carrier so they have options for different situations. Additionally, many couples, especially those of differing height and weight, will buy a baby carrier for each parent so they don’t have to readjust the straps each time they use it.
To help you find the very best baby carriers for your family, I spoke to experienced baby wearers about the baby carriers they have owned and would recommend. In some cases their favorites were so well-loved they’d been passed down several times, carrying multiple babies for multiple years. I also personally tested seven of the nine baby carriers below with my now-19-month-old son, taking him on nature walks, hourlong subway commutes from Brooklyn to Manhattan, on summer trips to the beach, and shopping amid the chaos of the Park Slope Food Coop.

What we’re looking for
Type of support
The most minimal baby carriers are similar to baby wraps and slings in that they are essentially a piece of fabric that holds your baby tight against your chest. But, generally, they also have padded waist belts and shoulder straps with buckles to keep your baby securely cocooned against you. They are lightweight and fold up small, making them useful as a backup carrier and easy to throw into a diaper or tote bag. These types of baby carriers are also commonly used for newborns, who are not very heavy, because the carriers are flexible and put less stress on tiny arms and legs.
Once your baby starts getting heavier, a more structured carrier will do a better job of distributing their weight and in turn will be more comfortable for your back and shoulders. Some structured carriers have additional lumbar support pads attached to the waist belt, which is especially useful for walking long distances or carrying your baby for long periods of time. For the purposes of this guide, I have sorted the baby carriers below into three categories: soft, soft structured, and structured. Soft baby carriers are just long pieces of fabric that can be secured with a knot. Soft-structured baby carriers have more shape to them and attach with a flexible waist belt and soft straps. Structured baby carriers have a similar shape but with wider, stiffer waist belts, lumbar support pads, and a firmer paneled main compartment.
Carry positions
Until they are able to hold their head up on their own, babies should only be worn on your front, in the inward-facing position. But after that, depending on their temperament, where you are going, and the versatility of your baby carrier, you can also carry a baby on your front but facing forward, piggyback style, or on your hip. To get the most out of the baby carrier you buy, I recommend looking for baby carriers that can be used in multiple positions, and I have listed the number of positions for each carrier below.
Baby weight range
Most baby carriers, even if they are labeled as good for infants starting at 0 months of age, are only designed to carry babies starting at 7 pounds. And on the other end of the weight range, many baby carriers top out at around 30 pounds — the weight of an average 3-year-old. But some go up to 45 pounds — the weight of an average 6-year-old. I prioritized baby carriers that are rated to support the widest range of baby weights.
Adult size range
Size inclusivity was a big factor in my choice for the best baby carrier overall. Ideally baby carriers would fit a wide range of adult bodies. But some baby carriers are a lot more size inclusive than others, and some brand’s offer more useful information about sizing too. For example, Ergobaby’s carriers all have a corresponding size chart with photos of how the carrier will fit on three different-size models. As much as possible, I have included sizing details for all the carriers below.
Materials and design details
The material a baby carrier is made of will determine how easy it is to clean and how warm or cool it feels when you’re carrying your baby in it. Many carriers are now available in two options: a warmer cotton or polyester blend or a cooling mesh. Mesh fabrics add breathability, while natural fabrics like cotton, linen, or hemp are good for babies with sensitive skin. Most of the carriers on this list are machine washable and should be hung up to dry, but if they aren’t I’ve noted as much.
I’ve also mentioned any notable design details that make each baby carrier comfier, easier, or more convenient to use, such as zipper pockets, lumbar support pads that are removable for a more comfortable back-carry position, or straps that can be worn straight or crossed, which can make a big difference if you have narrow or broad shoulders.
Looks-wise, whether it’s sleek and all black, a cheerily bright color, or covered in animal print, the baby carrier you choose will make up a significant portion of your outfit. So it would make sense to think of it like a piece of clothing or an accessory that should ideally fit into the rest of your wardrobe. Also keep in mind that busy patterns will do a better job of hiding stains, and dark colors can sometimes show spit-up splotches more obviously than light ones. You’ll see the number of colors and/or patterns you can choose from for each baby carrier specified below.
Safety
The main risks associated with baby carriers are falling, suffocation, and hip dysplasia, and for the most part they are a result of improper use. Check the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) website to make sure that the carrier you’re considering meets current safety standards and hasn’t been recently recalled. Always consult the brand’s instructions for proper use and fit, and confirm that your child is within the carrier’s recommended height and weight range. Finally, make sure your baby fits in the carrier with their legs positioned in an M shape, so their knees sit slightly above their butt. This is a natural clinging position for infants and promotes healthy hip development. The International Hip Dysplasia Institute has a list of baby carriers it has deemed “Hip-Healthy.” All of the carriers on this list meet the CPSC and “Hip-Healthy” standards.
Best baby carrier overall
Type of support: Structured with non-removable lumbar support pad | Carry positions: 4 | Baby weight range: 7 to 45 pounds | Adult size range: Adjustable to fit up to men’s size 38 and women’s size 16 pants | Materials and design details: 100% cotton or cotton and mesh; straps can be worn straight or crossed; detachable zip-storage pouch; UPF 50+ baby privacy hood; 3 cotton colors and 5 mesh colors
The Ergobaby Omni 360 is a versatile baby carrier designed to carry children from infancy to toddlerhood. I found it easy to put on and adjust even while holding a wiggly baby, and it distributes my son’s weight evenly so I don’t feel pressure or discomfort in my lower back or shoulders. The 100 percent cotton material is soft and cool against my skin and holds up really well in the wash. If you are looking for one that’s designed for hot weather, there’s a mesh version available that I also tested and will likely use this summer.
A lot of the baby carriers I tried were difficult to adjust, especially the width of the material that sits between the baby’s legs (which is often necessary to get that healthy-hip M shape). But this one was really intuitive — you fasten buttons on the outside and Velcro swatches on the inside of the waist belt. I barely needed to read the instructions and never, thankfully, had to look at a YouTube video. I love the generous cushioning of the shoulder straps and the cushy leg openings that absorb some of my son’s weight, acting like shocks for both my upper body and his little thighs. I never tried the Omni 360 in the hip-carry position, but my son loved being carried in all of the other positions, especially on my chest facing out and on my back. And the removable storage pouch is handy for running errands with baby — wearing a cross-body bag on top of a baby carrier is really awkward.
This carrier is also the one that other parents I spoke to recommended most. We are a stroller-nap family, so my son never napped in a carrier after the newborn stage. But nearly everyone who I talked to about the Omni 360 praised it for its ability to put their babies to sleep. Kathleen Cann, a preschool teacher and mom to an almost 2-year-old, carried her napping daughter in the Omni 360 several times a day for months. And Strategist writer and mom-of-two Lauren Ro says her younger son loved sleeping in this carrier.
The Omni 360 is designed to fit a wide range of body types, and Ergobaby helpfully includes pictures showing the best ways to wear the carrier for people with different body types, something Ro appreciates as a petite person who is five-foot-two. She says it works for all of the adults in her family, from her mother-in-law who is smaller than she is to her husband and his father who are both taller than her. I am of average height, five-foot-seven, and found it very easy to make the carrier fit me like a glove. I also talked to parents who are over six feet tall who said it’s comfortable to wear once it’s properly adjusted.
One drawback of this carrier is that the Omni 360 wasn’t ideal for my family in the very beginning because our son was just over four pounds at birth and babies have to be at least seven pounds to use it. But we are outliers in that sense and I do appreciate that the carrier can hold toddlers up to 45 pounds, which is a heavier weight limit than most of the other carriers I tested. And even though the Omni 360 is the second-most-expensive carrier on this list, it is far from what I would consider a splurge. For the comfort, versatility, and how long it will last — several people I talked to said they got theirs as a second- or third-generation hand-me-down — the price is very reasonable.
Best (less expensive) baby carrier overall
Type of support: Structured with removable lumbar support pad | Carry positions: Marketed as 6 but essentially 4 | Baby weight range: 7 to 45 pounds | Adult size range: Adjustable, waistband extends to 52 inches and you can buy an extender to add an additional 9.5 inches | Materials and design details: Cotton and polyester blend with inner mesh panel; straps can be worn straight or crossed; removable sun shade; 15 colors and patterns
For about $50 less, the Líllébaby All Seasons Carrier has nearly all of the same features as the Ergobaby Omni 360 and is available in five times as many colors and patterns. It is my second-favorite baby carrier for older-than-newborn babies because it distributes weight really well so I barely feel like I am carrying the 25 extra pounds — even up flights of stairs. I love that you can unzip and tuck away the center panel to reveal breathable mesh, or leave it in place to have a warmer wind-resistant cotton-poly blend in the body of the carrier. The material is durable, easy to wipe clean or machine wash, and looks expensive.
That said, the 100 percent cotton fabric on my top-pick Ergobaby Omni 360 is softer and more luxurious feeling. And the leg openings on the Líllébaby aren’t as padded as on the Omni 360. My son loves being carried facing out and I have noticed that he seems more comfortable for longer in the Omni 360. The Líllébaby also doesn’t have a storage pouch or a pocket for keys, a wallet, or a phone like the Omni 360. (In a pinch, I have made do by stashing my phone in the zipped-up front panel.)
Like the Omni 360, it is easy to put on and adjust. There are essentially four carry positions: facing in on your front, facing out on your front, facing in on your back, and facing in on either hip. (Note that Líllébaby counts each hip separately and also counts the fetal position as an additional option that requires a sold-separately infant pillow, so it markets the carrier as having six positions.) I have only just started carrying my son on my back, but I love that this carrier’s lumbar support pad is removable, making it less bulky on my abdomen when I have him sitting piggyback style.
Strategist senior editor Jen Trolio also used a very similar Líllébaby carrier, the Complete Airflow, with her two daughters, and says it is the best all-around and most versatile baby carrier she has used. Both she and her husband were able to use it comfortably despite the difference in their heights — she is five-foot-two and her husband is five-foot-11 — and because the Airflow version is made entirely of mesh, it is cool to wear and easy to clean. She bought hers in 2015, used it pretty constantly for two kids over a period of five years, and it’s still going strong: Trolio handed it down her sister, who now uses regularly it with Trolio’s 2-year-old niece.
Best newborn baby carrier
Type of support: Soft structured | Carry positions: 2 | Baby weight range: 7 to 25 pounds | Adult size range: Adjustable, waist belt ranges from 22 to 54 inches | Materials and design details: Performance knit or cooling mesh; straps always worn crossed; 9 colors
This is the first non-wrap baby carrier I used as soon as my son reached the seven-pound weight minimum. Before getting this carrier, my husband and I tried a hand-me-down Baby K’tan wrap, which is billed as a hybrid, easier-to-put-on wrap, but found it frustrating and confusing to use and less adjustable than the most basic tie-on fabric wraps. We struggled to get the K’tan tight enough and always worried that our son was sitting too low or might fall out. The Ergobaby Embrace solves that problem with its hybrid design. Its fabric is soft and stretchy, like a wrap, and because of the adjustable and flexible waist belt and shoulder straps, it is easier to put on because there is no wrapping or tying involved.
The Ergobaby Embrace was my favorite for the newborn stage and is still my husband’s overall favorite baby carrier because it’s more minimalist than the Líllébaby. The Embrace is also the carrier that seven other parents recommended to me as the best baby carrier for newborns. It feels secure without being too bulky or complicated to use. It’s lightweight and quick-drying, which comes in handy during the summer months and when our baby’s drool pours out of his mouth like a leaky faucet. We have it in oxford blue, but after a few months of seeing five or six cool friends and friends of friends with the all-black version on Instagram and out in Brooklyn, I came very close to buying another one in that color too. Because of this carrier’s simple design, the all-black version kind of disappears and looks chic without being overly trendy or show-offy.
While I appreciate that the Omni 360 is made of 100 percent cotton, this carrier’s performance fabric blend has made it almost impossible to stain and easy to wipe or spot clean. And the fact that the fabric is Oeko-Tex 100-certified (making the Embrace the only carrier on the list with the certification) made me feel comfortable using it with a sensitive newborn even in the summer when all he wore were onesies.
The downsides of this carrier are that you can’t use it past 25 pounds and it doesn’t allow for back carrying, so you’ll need to buy an additional baby carrier if you want to keep baby-wearing as your baby grows. However, since my son was born small, it lasted us well over a year. It’s still the baby carrier I recommend to all my pregnant friends, especially those who are daunted by the idea of learning to tie a wrap or sling.
Best (less expensive) newborn baby carrier
Type of support: Soft | Carry positions: 1 | Baby weight range: 7 to 35 pounds | Adult size range: One size fits all | Materials and design details: 95% French terry cotton and 5% spandex; straps always worn crossed; 9 colors
I bought the Boba baby wrap after the tenth frustrating experience trying to teach my husband how to use the Baby K’tan carrier. The Boba is a classic wrap, meaning it is just one really long piece of fabric that you cross between your shoulders, wrap around your waist, and then tuck tightly under your baby’s butt before tying it in a knot. There is a learning curve to putting it on and getting the right amount of tension so that your baby ends up sitting properly — the heavier the baby, the tighter it has to be. But once I learned how to do it, I loved the closeness it afforded me and my newborn son.
The fabric is sturdy but stretchy so I never worried that he would slip down or out the top if I bent over to pick something up. Plus it’s thicker and therefore warmer than other baby-wrap fabrics, which was a pro for me since he was born in December. He was so comfortable and secure being held in the Boba that he usually fell asleep right away and it gave me a sense of autonomy I desperately needed. I used to put him in the wrap after feeding him most mornings so that I could wash my face, brush my teeth, go to the bathroom, and take the dog for a walk. I bought it in the navy blue color thinking that would keep it from looking stained, not fully realizing that spit-up shows more on a dark color. Still, I have washed mine many times without any problems. Best of all, it’s the cheapest of all the carriers on this list and can carry babies up to 35 pounds (ten more than the Ergobaby Embrace). That said, it is also the least structured carrier on this list, and it takes the longest to put on because you have to wrap and tie it every time. As your baby gets heavier, you may need something more structured, supportive, and easier to adjust, like the Omni 360 or the Líllébaby.
Best baby carrier with mesh insert
Type of support: Structured with lumbar support pad | Carry positions: 4 | Baby weight range: 7 to 45 pounds | Adult size range: Adjustable to fit sizes XS to XXL | Materials and design details: Cotton and polyester blend with inner mesh panel; straps can be worn straight or crossed; zip storage pocket; removable sun shade; removable infant insert
Strategist senior editor Winnie Yang has tried a variety of baby carriers, wraps, and slings with her three kids, including the Ergobaby Omni 360, the Boba wrap, and multiple Líllébaby, Baby Bjorn, and Tula baby carriers. This Beco 8 baby carrier is her favorite. She often carries her 1-year-old son on mileslong hikes or long walks and errands and loves the support of the Beco’s substantial waist belt and padded straps. According to Yang, the added bulk makes this carrier a little harder to pack for travel, but since she uses the carrier at the airport and on the plane as well as during road trips, it’s not much of an issue.
The Beco has four carry positions: baby on your front facing in, baby on your front facing out, baby on one hip, or baby on your back. Yang has mostly carried her kids on her front facing in, or on her back, and says that while it definitely helps if someone else is around to buckle the cross strap when she is front-carrying, she can manage it on her own and still get everything adjusted.
As with the Líllébaby, the Beco has an interior mesh panel that’s a plus on hot days, keeping both parent and baby cool and comfortable. The mesh panel on the Beco 8 is also wider than the Líllébaby’s, so you get more airflow. (It does not offer more airflow than the all-mesh version of the Omni 360, however.) The whole thing machine washes well and can air-dry overnight. The zip pocket on the waist belt is not as big as the detachable zipper pouch on the Omni 360, but Yang says it fits her phone. Overall, she says in contrast to a lot of overly engineered baby carriers, this one offers a good balance between cushioned and streamlined.
Best stylish baby carrier
Type of support: Soft structured | Carry positions: 3 | Baby weight range: 7 to 45 pounds | Adult size range: Adjustable, but with no measurements listed | Materials and design details: Organic cotton, organic hemp, linen, cashmere, or silk; straps are always worn crossed; dozens of colors and patterns
Over the past five years, this fashion-y baby carrier has been spotted on dozens of celebrities, models, and stylish parents, from Gigi Hadid to Flea. That’s because Artipoppe has put in a considerable marketing effort and done an incredible job getting its products into the hands of influential new parents. It’s likely also why many of the regular moms I talked to about this carrier started off by expressing surprise at how good it actually is. I, too, was skeptical when the brand sent me a cotton one covered in swans to try. But, steep price aside, it is a very decent and very nice-looking lightweight baby carrier.
It has a wider and more structured waist belt and isn’t as stretchy as the Ergobaby Embrace but is similarly simple to put on. Its main quality is that it is functionally minimal, even if you buy the one with two diagonal strips of decorative fringe. When the dog is barking to be taken out to pee and I am the only one home with my son, this is the carrier I reach for. It is delightfully easy to load up with a baby because the main compartment matches the shape of a baby’s bottom really well. He kind of just slides into it like a block into a shape sorter. There are three carry positions: front facing in, front facing out, and back carry. A quick change of a few snaps will narrow the seat of the carrier, switching it from an inward-facing carry position to an outward-facing carry position. The waist belt and the shoulder straps are adjustable, and while the brand’s website doesn’t provide more detailed sizing info, the Artipoppe’s belt and straps are not drastically different in length to those on the Omni 360 and Líllébaby All Seasons.
One common complaint with the Artipoppe is that the shoulder straps are stiff, which was true when I first got mine. But the more I use it, the more pliable it gets, and I can tell that my son is comfortable from the way he casually hangs one arm out over the top so he’s half facing in, half facing out. There are many baby-carrier brands that offer funky prints, interesting fabrics, and vibrant colors. But the quality of the Artipoppe fabrics is on a whole other level — the woven swans pattern is beautifully illustrated and feels like an antique tapestry. Just pay attention to the care instructions: While this cotton one is machine washable, some of the brand’s more specialty fabrics are not.
Like the Omni 360, Líllébaby, and Beco 8, the Artipoppe can hold babies up to 45 pounds, which in some cases could be a kindergartner. At 19 months old, my son is nowhere near that big yet, but I can still comfortably lug him around in this carrier, even though it is less structured than other baby carriers. Strategist senior editor Simone Kitchens used this carrier comfortably until her daughter was almost 2 years old. And though I haven’t tried one yet, Artipoppe just launched a toddler version of the Zeitgeist carrier that should let you carry older and bigger kids.
Best (less expensive) stylish baby carrier
Type of support: Soft structured | Carry positions: 2 | Baby weight range: 7 to 45 pounds | Adult size range: Available in two sizes: XS-XL and L-4XL | Design details: 100% linen; straps can be worn straight or crossed; padded baby neck support; 20 colors and patterns
While it doesn’t have the same celebrity following as Artipoppe, Wildbird is nevertheless very popular among design-focused parents. The brand first made a name for itself with beautiful linen ring slings that come in dozens of colors and patterns with rings in black, gold, rose gold, or silver. The Aerial Carrier is made of the same supple linen and available in many of the same colors. It has a minimal design similar to the Artipoppe Zeitgeist carrier but with less of a brash kitschy vibe. I tested one in “willow,” a terra-cotta orange. But even the patterns — sage-green plaid, pastel flowers, and hummingbirds — are calmer in tone than the ones available from Artipoppe. It’s the kind of carrier I imagine would appeal to a breezy California mom or a dad who bakes, and it’s the one I would bring to any kind of dressy event since it feels more quietly elevated than any of the other carriers on this list. Plus, it is nearly $200 less expensive than the Artipoppe carrier.
Looks aside, it is lightweight and breathable, and the padded shoulder straps, waist belt, and baby-neck support have a pleasing squishiness that is similar in feel to the Omni 360’s straps and belt. It’s comfortable for both baby and adult, whether you’re carrying them in front or on your back. Unlike the Artipoppe, the body of this carrier doesn’t adjust in width, so it can’t be used in a front outward-facing position. (Facing out requires a narrower seat for comfort and correct hip positioning.) This is the main drawback of the Wildbird carrier and why, if I had to choose, I would pick the Artipoppe despite its higher price point. As with the Happy Baby carrier below, the lack of an outward-facing option is something you should seriously consider before buying, especially if you plan to babywear past a year old or have a kid who prefers looking out at the world. But it still does a great job of keeping babies comfortable in the two positions it offers. If you’re interested in a not-too-expensive, stylish carrier that looks more like a fashion accessory than a piece of camping gear, this is a solid option.
Best packable baby carrier
Type of support: Soft structured | Carry positions: 2 | Baby weight range: 7 to 45 pounds | Adult size range: Adjustable, waistband extends to 54 inches and you can buy an extender to add an additional 18 inches | Materials and design details: Linen; straps can be worn straight or crossed; hidden baby sun hood; folds down to fit in a diaper bag; 19 colors and patterns
Once her babies were able to hold their heads up, New York features writer Irin Carmon says she never found a baby carrier she liked better than the Happy Baby Original. It is nicer-looking (in her opinion) than our top-pick Ergobaby Omni 360, simpler to adjust, lightweight, and rolls up to be quite compact and easy to throw in a bag. Across her two children she has tried 12 different baby carriers (including many that were hand-me-downs or gifts) and found this one to have the best combination of good looks, comfort, and simplicity. (The Omni 360, she says, was too stiff and not comfortable enough: “Bulkier and stiffer can be more supportive, but I didn’t want to feel like I was going hiking every time I needed my hands free.”) Also among Carmon’s stash of carriers is a black velvet Artipoppe Zeitgeist one, which she liked but which her daughter threw up on immediately. She pointed out to me that the Happy Baby carrier is $200 less expensive, easier to wash, and still very cute. But the real draw of this carrier is how easy it is to pack in a bag or suitcase, making it especially useful for travel, like when you check your stroller for a flight but still need to be hands-free. The trade-off, though, is that it doesn’t offer any neck support and only allows for two carry positions: front inward-facing and back. So like the Wildbird, if your baby loves facing out, this is not the carrier for you.
Best (less expensive) packable baby carrier
Type of support: Soft structured | Carry positions: 2 | Baby weight range: 12 to 30 pounds | Adult size range: One size with adjustable shoulder straps and waistband | Materials and design details: Nylon outer with polyester mesh inner layer; straps are always worn straight; hidden baby sun hood; folds down into an attached fanny pack; 5 colors and patterns
For $80 less, Tula makes this ultra-lightweight packable carrier that folds up into an attached fanny pack. The design is pared down as much as possible, but is still comfortable and supportive. There is virtually no padding, save for a few thin strips on the shoulder straps and the leg openings. But this is intentional, as it allows the carrier to roll up tightly to about the size of a burrito. As with the Wildbird and Happy Baby carriers, the Tula Lite can only be used to carry a baby on your front facing in or piggyback style. I have had the Tula Lite for a few months now, and I love how tiny it is when it’s all packed up. It’s the carrier I keep by the door and throw into our stroller for trips to the zoo or other places where my son might get tired of walking but I don’t necessarily want to put him in his stroller.
Because it’s made of nylon, it has an airy quality to it, almost like a windbreaker. It feels pretty weightless, and the fabric is quick-drying and feels cool to the touch. This carrier was particularly useful during a recent trip to the emergency room for a very high fever. I don’t own a car, and I didn’t want to take a stroller and a car seat with me in an Uber, so instead I took the Tula Lite. It was easy to buckle onto my waist as we were leaving the house in a rush, and nice to have in the ER so I could keep my son comforted and close to me while we waited to be discharged.
Once you have the carrier out of its pouch, the fanny-pack storage pocket is huge. Even with the carrier packed inside, the pocket is big enough to fit a phone, wallet, and keys; then, when you are ready to carry your baby, all you have to do is unroll it and put your arms through the straps. For this reason, I plan to take the Tula Lite with me, either in a bag or as a fanny pack, on short hikes and beach trips this summer. Because of its lack of cushioning, however, I would opt for the Wildbird or the Happy Baby carrier over this one for outings longer than an hour or so.
