It's Very Important To Compare Baby Carrier Backpacks

Many parents enjoy taking leisurely walks, hiking

, or taking care of daily chores with their babies. A baby carrier backpack effectively frees them from having to constantly hold their babies. Many parents that are used to hold their babies while doing activities think of these carriers as lifesavers. Even though these baby carriers are convenient, its important to select the perfect carrier, making sure it's a perfect match for both the baby and parent, while avoiding common safety hazards. This article will go over the most important reasons to thoroughly compare baby carrier backpacks.

Check the backpack carefully, making sure there's adequate padded where it's needed the most. Padding is most needed in the shoulder area. Also be sure the weight will be properly distributed when the baby is placed in the carrier, otherwise it will be very uncomfortable to use. Since baby carriers vary widely regarding the weight distribution and padding, it's a good idea to take a few trial runs. Put the carrier on and walk around the store to see how the baby carrier feels. If a carrier causes shoulder pain, it should be ruled out immediately.

Another factor to consider when you compare baby carrier backpacks is their ease of use. Because a carrier will be used often, look for a carrier that has buckles and straps that are easy to open and close or take a lot of work to adjust. Be sure the instructions are easy to follow and the backpacks are a breeze to use. You should also consider whether or not the backpack will be easy to clean. Parents need to remember that infants can spit up or drool on the backpack so a smooth surface that's easy to wipe clean is best. Keep in mind that cloth fabrics are usually difficult to clean.

Of vital importance when comparing baby carrier backpacks? Making sure they aren't on recall lists. Many infant and baby products have been subject to numerous recalls. While unsafe backpacks are supposed to be taken out of stores immediately, it is possible for them to have a "lag time" before this happens. Stay educated on current recalls and be aware of the most common reasons for recalls. The U.S. Product Safety Commission keeps track of recalls so make sure the carrier isn't on their list.

One of the common dangers is suffocation hazards caused by improper safety standards. Another common risk is loose stitching that can make it possible for infants to fall from the carriers and get hurt. For instance, in 2007 the Baby Trend Back Pack Carriers were recalled because of loose stitching. It's unfortunate, but many times babies are injured before action is taken and a recall issued. When parents thoroughly inspect backpacks before buying them, they can often catch potential safety hazards. Always use common sense and consider reporting any potentially unsafe carriers to the U.S. Product Safety Commission. The odds are against carriers that are purchased in stores being on a recall list, but its always best to play it safe.

Even though parents won't constantly stand while using a baby backpack carrier, make sure the comfort factor is high whether sitting or standing. If a carrier slips or requires adjustments when changing positions or bending over, be sure the adjustments can be made quickly and easily. Basically, an ideal baby carrier will be safe, comfortable, easy to adjust and clean and perfectly fit one's lifestyle.
