When my new mom friends ask me what baby gear they need, I always suggest a baby carrier. There are so many times in a day when a baby carrier comes in handy, whether it's a fussy afternoon for your child or a day when you need to get a lot of things done.

Ergobaby's ADAPT carrier has three features I look for when selecting a baby carrier:

1. It's adaptable (thus the name) and can be used from birth until to your baby's a toddler. What does that mean" You don't need an insert! For me this means I have one less thing to lose. I love that you can invest in one carrier and use it from 7 to 45 pounds.
2. It's "hip-healthy" for your baby, encouraging a safe carrying position. It holds your baby's legs and hips in an "M" position, which is ergonomic and safe. Ergobaby carriers are unique in that it is very easy to get your baby into the correct ergonomic position without much effort or attention.
3. It's comfortable for parents. With thick shoulder straps and an extra supportive lumbar waistbelt, you won't have to worry about back or shoulder pain. I sometimes get back pain from carrying my kids too much, but since I started using the ADAPT I've noticed that I haven't had any pain.
If you think putting on a baby carrier seems confusing, don't panic. It's actually really easy! I used to get nervous but quickly learned that using a mirror is a great way to perfect your method for getting your baby in...
