The Top Baby Carriers for Chest

BabyBjorn Air

$99.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
i carried my baby in a sling when she was a newborn but the front carrier would have worked just as well, actually, it might have worked better.
from www.amazon.com
we originally had the city black baby bjorn but after walking out my front door, i realized it was a bit too hot for the florida sun.
from www.amazon.com
at 4 1/2 months, we are now using the carrier front-facing.
from www.amazon.com
usually i would wear the straps, and hold the baby on my chest, calm her a little bit first before putting her into the carrier.
from www.amazon.com
almost all front carriers do not allow itself to open completely, thus the difficulty in putting baby in (some babies will kick you in the face before you manage to get them into the carrier).

Kelty TC 3.0 Child Carrier

$170.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
i bought a baby bjorn for my husband while i was still pregnant with our first child, thinking that it would be cute to see him walking around with a little baby in front.
from www.amazon.com
sunshade only encourages our baby to crane his neck to the side in order to see what's going on up front.

EllaRoo Mei Hip Baby Sling/Wrap

$83.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
i purchased this product once my son became too heavy for the front carrier.
from www.amazon.com
it positions your baby at the hip so you have more range of motion than if he was on your belly/chest as with other carriers.
from www.amazon.com
you can wear it on the hip or in front.
from www.amazon.com
it swivels from hip to front, which is helpful too.
from www.amazon.com
- the body is very wide for a smaller baby.

Kelty Kids Convertible Child Carrier

$8.00 Est. at Amazon

from Anonymous, www.childcarriers.com
he got to be about 23 pounds and he is very tall, he would stretch out his body and it would make the wheels stop and stutter because he would step on them.
from Mark and Peg Zeigler, www.childcarriers.com
now, if only kelty had a double convertible stroller, that would be either front to front, or front to back.
from Busy Mother, www.childcarriers.com
those front swivel wheels are horrible.

Balboa Baby Adjustable Sling

$64.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
the boppy sling was too awkward for me, and being short, i couldn't find a "setting" that didn't leave our baby dangling in front of my thighs, rather than my torso.
from www.amazon.com
my only complaint ( the only reason i gave 4 stars instead of 5) is that i'm only 5'2" and the sling hangs a bit low on me, more at waist level than chest level.
from www.amazon.com
lately he didn't like being wrapped in a front of me, because he likes to look around already.
from www.amazon.com
first i have to say the instructions are horrible, it gives very little information on how the sling should be adjusted or rather how it should fit your body once you've adjusted it.

most importantly, our son loves it because he can look out the front.
from www.walmart.com
wouldnt be a problem if you are flat chested.
from www.amazon.com
this is the best front-carry sling available, in my opinion.

Evenflo Snugli Front Back

$30.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.target.com
the price is excellent for this carrier considering you can use it as a front or back carrier.
from www.target.com
she is short so i fold the front flap in a little so she can see over the top of it but it is still high enough that she is safely held in.
from www.target.com
my baby likes to recline back a little and see the world instead of having her head against my chest all of the time.
from www.target.com
i was surprised that there aren't a ton of options out there for a front and back carrier.
from www.target.com
if you want a front carrier, spend the extra money and get the baby bjorn.

Cuteslings Reversible

$46.00 Est. at Amazon

from Mom of Little Groms "Brooke B.", www.target.com
the pocket in the front of the sling has been quite handy for when my husband and i are walking on the beach or just on the go.
from www.amazon.com
i first tried this sling when my baby was a few weeks old, but i was so freaked out about the warning to not let his chin rest on his chest so as to cut of the air supply, that i decided to stop
from www.amazon.com
plus as a preemie, he was completely sunken in and often his chin would touch his chest (not safe).
from mom2boys, www.target.com
i tried this sling along with many others, and i was very disappointed in the fact that my newborn's neck was slanted and he looked terribly uncomfortable not to mention his body was squished into
from Booby Momma "Breastmilk is best!", www.target.com
i just feel like it wasn't nearly as versatile as my thing-a-ma-sling (ring sling) is & that my baby wasn't as close to my body/center of gravity as he is (especially if he's not in a hip-carry

Pink Ecru Paisley Hotslings Baby Carrier Size 1

$50.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
i would totally recommend it over baby bjorn and the other front carriers especially for early on, i used those with my first and couldn't stand them!
from www.amazon.com
when my son was little i wore him on my front and he could either sleep in it or sit up in it.
from www.amazon.com
the biggest drawback of this sling is that it's not adjustable - even if you get it sized correctly for your body, you have to take into account that babies are all different sizes too.
from www.amazon.com
since it's made of mostly cotton it's comfortable for the summer (i stopped using our front carrier because it got too hot with it).

New Native Regular Cotton Baby Sling/Wrap

$49.00 Est. at Amazon

from store.babycenter.com
he absolutely loves it and, as others have noted, usually falls asleep in it rght away.it is far more comfortable and far less awkward to use with a little one than a front carrier.
from store.babycenter.com
also, because the baby is right out in front of you, she sometimes gets in the way.
from store.babycenter.com
i also like being able to lift my baby in the sling from my body to the carseat without having to wake her up.
from store.babycenter.com
the snuggli infant carrier and the regular "against the chest style".
from store.babycenter.com
i've also read that babies who sleep in slings (as opposed to front packs or in cribs) sleep better and longer at night.

$42.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
very comfortable carrier and the fabric is breathable, unlike the baby bjorn that i was using, which she would sweat in and could only face my chest or forward and could not be used on the hip.[...]
from www.amazon.com
you can carry the baby on your front or back (with experience, this is doable, but mostly for older babies), on your hip (once your baby can sit strongly).
from www.amazon.com
unlike front facing carriers, she can turn her head into our chests if she feels insecure or overstimulated.
from www.amazon.com
before my baby was born, i was given two sling/carrier devices: the ultimate baby wrap and a snugli front pack.
from www.amazon.com
it's just so tight against my body that it bends him the wrong way.
