The benefits of babywearing are now widely acknowledged. And, while in the West we have only recently rediscovered these benefits, babywearing is still the most universally practiced baby carrying method worldwide.
The African Baby Carrier features :
• Most of the weight is carried on the hip rather than the shoulders
• It can be used in the front and on the back on the side.
• It can be used from birth or from 4 months to 4 years
(20kg) and more.
• Deluxe model has extra accessories like a clip on bag and a cash and key & cash pocket.
• It caters for the baby/toddler falling asleep (hood for head support and shade)
• It has no bulky metal frame to get in the way while you’re wearing it at home
• It is totally washable 30C
• It rolls up compactly for travel
• These carriers are proudly South African, and are made by otherwise
unemployed ladies from the local township.
Benefits for baby and carer:
• Facilitates and improves attachment and bonding
• Reduces colic and crying
• Mothers heart beat and breathing support
and stimulate baby’s physical functions
• Excellent head and neck support
• Splayed legs facilitate better development for hips,
legs and spine than dangling legs
• Reduces incidences of and improves existing ‘flathead’
• Reduced incidence of SIDS (cot death)
• Improved milk supply as baby wearing increases lactation.
• Frees the care giver, allowing far greater freedom of movement
and action than would a pram.
• Lowers the incidence and severity of post natal depression.
