Looking to keep your baby close while having your hands free, and wondering what type of baby carrier to choose? You've probably heard of the physiological baby carrier , recommended by early childhood professionals. But what's so special about it? Is it really better for your baby? We'll explain everything in this article.
What exactly is a physiological baby carrier?
A physiological baby carrier is specially designed to respect your baby's natural body position. It ensures that your baby adopts an ergonomic posture, in the so-called "frog" position:
-
Slightly rounded back

Legs raised and spread naturally

Knees higher than buttocks
This position allows for optimal distribution of the baby's weight and ensures maximum comfort for both him and you.

-
Practicality : easy to install and adjust, you can go about your business while keeping baby close to you.
-
