Baby carriers are available for newborns up to children around 8 years old. In this guide, we explain what to look for to find the right size and type of baby carrier for your child.
From what age can you use a baby carrier?
A baby carrier can be used from birth, usually from size 50 or 56. Many brands indicate that the carrier is suitable from birth, but this depends on your baby’s weight and size. Some baby carriers are only suitable from size 56, while others work well already from size 50.
For premature babies, we recommend consulting a babywearing consultant to find the best and safest option. On every baby carrier page in our shop, you can quickly see the recommended baby clothing size, age range, and ergonomic features, so you can easily choose the ideal carrier.

Until what age can you use a baby carrier?
All baby carriers are suitable for at least the first year of your baby’s life. Most models can be used longer, up to about 2 or 2.5 years, depending on your child’s size and build. It’s important that your baby can still sit comfortably and ergonomically.
Around size 80/86, it’s usually time to switch to a toddler carrier or preschool carrier.

From and until what age for toddler carriers
A toddler carrier is suitable from around 18 months (baby clothing size 74) and can usually be used until your child is about 4 or 5 years old. Each carrier on our website includes both a weight range and size indication, so you can easily find the right carrier for your toddler.

From and until what age for preschool carriers
A preschool carrier is often suitable from around 2 years old and can be used for several more years. Each baby carrier page in our shop includes the clothing sizes and weight range that fit each model, helping you decide whether the preschool carrier is right for your child.
