Babytrage ab wann? - Alles,was du wissen musst

Babywearing is more than just practical – it strengthens the bond between parent and child and promotes the baby's healthy development. But many parents wonder: When can I start using a baby carrier? Until when is it advisable? And which carrier is the best choice for my child and me? In this article, we answer the most frequently asked questions and show you why a Rookie baby carrier is the perfect companion from birth.


From what age should you use a baby carrier?

You can carry your baby in a baby carrier from birth. It's important that the carrier is suitable for newborns and can be used from a weight of around 3.5 kg. For very young babies, a newborn insert is particularly important to ensure stability and support.

Rookie baby carriers are ideal for newborns and will accompany you from the very beginning. Their ergonomic design supports the healthy M-position (frog-leg position ) and the slightly rounded back of your baby. Learn more about the advantages of Rookie baby carriers here: Rookie Baby Carriers .

PS: Did you know that many parents only start carrying their babies more frequently in a baby carrier from the second month onwards ?


Baby carrier until what age?

There's no set age or weight limit for when you can start carrying your baby. As long as you both enjoy it, you can use a baby carrier. Experience shows that children around 1.5 years old usually want to walk independently and explore the world. This corresponds to a weight of about 15-20 kg – and even then, a good baby carrier still offers plenty of comfort.


What makes a good baby carrier?

  1. Ergonomic design
    A good baby carrier should promote the healthy development of the baby. The frog-leg position is crucial for preventing hip dysplasia and providing optimal back support. An adjustable base ensures that the carrier can be individually fitted.

  2. Comfort for parents
    To ensure the carrier is comfortable to wear, the baby's weight should be evenly distributed. Models like the Rookie baby carrier offer various shoulder strap designs (H- or X-strap) that can be individually adjusted.

  3. Easy handling
    A baby carrier should be quick and easy to put on. This is a great advantage, especially if you want to switch the carrier between mom and dad.

  4. Additional features
    Headrests provide stability for the head, while weather protection and privacy screens ensure comfort in all weather conditions.


Why are baby carriers an essential part of a baby's initial equipment?

You'll quickly notice that everyday life changes with a baby. Sometimes you can hardly put your baby down without them crying. A baby carrier will become your most trusted everyday companion, keeping your hands free. Whether you're helping with housework, out and about, or simply want to take a break from the stroller.
