Is the Carrier Really Designed to Suit a Baby’s Back?

BabyBjorn FR's baby carriers are developed in collaboration with doctors who specialise in paediatric orthopaedics. The baby carriers provide well-adapted support for a baby’s hips, neck and back. A baby’s back is C-shaped at first and gradually acquires the S-shape of the adult spine. There is a popular misconception that a young baby’s back is held in too upright a position in a baby carrier. But this is completely unfounded from a medical standpoint. On the contrary, baby carriers provide good back support when the fabric encircles the baby’s body. Babies also spend many hours asleep lying flat on their backs in their cot. Lying flat on their back does no harm at all to a baby’s back. It is just as safe for a baby’s back to be carried in a baby carrier.
