BABY CARRIER要等到BABY长到两三个月,脖子有足够的力气支撑脑袋的时候才能用。10几磅的孩子挂在胸前还是很吃力的,容易累得腰疼。孩子再大一些的时候,前置式的基本就很难用了,不仅是因为小孩太重,(记得大多是推荐UP TO ~18LB),还有小孩子的活动和视野受到限制,他自己比较不舒服,也会比较热。
There are commercial ones available also. The most expensive brand is "Baby Bjorn". The commercial carriers are only recommended for carrying babies up to 20 lbs. It may be uncomfortable for the baby beyond that weight.
We used one until my son was 5 or 6 months and it was very helpful. He even fell asleep in it. We stopped using it not because he was too heavy, but because at that age he became interested in other activities such as learning to crawl.
