In a previous life, she served as the managing editor of Culinary Backstreets and The Art of Eating, and she has written for Condé Nast Traveler, Feast, Jamie, Saveur, and Tasting Table, among other publications. Crossable straps allow you to throw a strap over each shoulder and buckle on your side near your waist, while backpack-style straps force you to reach over your shoulders with both hands to buckle the back strap between your shoulder blades, which is challenging for people with less flexibility or shoulder mobility. The Ergobaby Original (currently unavailable) is a well-known, popular carrier with backpack-style straps.However, to me, the mesh while not quite as soft as cotton is still soft enough that I am happy to have it directly against my own skin and against my children's. Newer carrier models reduce the need for inserts with adjustable seat widths and panel heights that create a close, supportive fit whether the child is a newborn or a toddler. Some testers also feel it has a more restrictive feel than other soft structured carriers, and the feeling increased as the size of the passengers did. Comfortable, adaptable and stylish too, Beco carriers for babies and toddlers are made to highethical and environmental in the USA.

This drying method could take more time than you have before your next adventure, leaving you without a carrier. Overall, though, the additional features combine to make a carrier that we believe is a better fit for bigger kids, both in the way it feels for an adult to carry the added weight and in the way a larger child sits in the carrier’s seat. Once I received those finalists, I read the instructions for each carrier and then tried each one with my 25-pound toddler in the forward position, facing in—the mode of carrying we’ve used for most of her 19 months, and one that all the carriers are designed to do. It is not as soft as the cotton, so if you are someone who is very sensitive to texture, you may well prefer the cotton.

Buckles are extra secure with safety catches - there's no danger of children unclipping themselves whilst in this carrier. We almost included the Tula Free-to-Grow as one of our picks because of its simple design, comfortable padding, adjustable seat, and great fit for toddlers. As with the Beco Gemini, though, this carrier’s adjustable seat and panel allow you to carry your child on your front facing outward, unlike most carriers, which only turn the child in toward your chest.

An adjustable seat width and panel height make it one of the most versatile and convenient carriers to use, from when your child is a newborn to when they reach toddlerhood. From left: the Beco Gemini (our pick), Tula Free-to-Grow, and Ergobaby 360 Cool Air Mesh, with their panels adjusted to their narrowest (left photo) and widest (right photo) settings. The most inexpensive models lacked sufficient support or padding, one promising carrier was made of a coarse synthetic that we found too abrasive to wear, and some models encapsulated the baby in a pouch, which would make breastfeeding very difficult.

A cooler version of our best toddler carrier that is perfect for all the outdoor adventures when little explorers need to hitch a ride! The Beco Toddler Carrier is also one of our absolute faves, we used one extensively with our youngest son. Although the Infantino Flip Advanced ranks among the least expensive carriers available, it offers many of the same features as the most expensive competitors, including an adjustable-width seat, an adjustable-height padded panel, the option for the child to face out, and a detachable bib. Featuring a fully adjustable seat to keep baby safe and comfortable in 4 different carry positions, from newborn to toddler, while you dash around town hands-free! All in all the Gemini is a fabulous carrier ( you can read my full review here), both versions are great - whether you want the cushiony padded softness of the Standard or the ultra lightweight, packs down small, coolness of the "Cool".
