Hi everyone,
I am a new mom and recently purchased a soft-structured carrier to wear my baby. I have been using it for front carries, but I would like to start wearing my baby in a back carry for more comfort and mobility. However, I am concerned about safety and want to make sure I am doing it correctly.
Does anyone have any tips or advice for safely wearing my baby in a back carry using a soft-structured carrier? Any specific positions I should be aware of, or safety precautions to keep in mind? Any personal experiences or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your help!

Greetings everyone,
I have been using a soft-structured carrier with my baby since he was 2 months old and I found the back carry to be more comfortable for both of us as the baby grew. One thing to keep in mind is to ensure that the carrier is boiled, washed or deep cleaned by the manufacturer's instructions to avoid any lingering germs.
When doing a back carry, it is essential to have another adult present to help you to begin with. One parent can secure the carrier on the back while the other hands over the baby safely. Start with a low safe position just like any other carrier you've used to make sure the baby is safe and then adjust the placement to a higher position on the back safely.
Make sure you know the material of the carrier's straps and follow the manufacturer's instructions on how to adjust the carrier for the best fit, comfort and safety of your baby. Lastly, once your baby is safely in the carrier, check that the baby's head, neck and chin are properly supported and not being forced forward by the straps.
I hope this helps! Good luck on wearing your baby in a back carry.
