Front carry, facing parent/carer: newborn until walking age

In a KahuBaby Carrier, your child learns about the world from a safe place, and from your height. Your child learns language and a myriad of social cues when facing into you, and is still able to look around and take in the scenery.


Hip carry: 4 months +

Carrying an older baby or toddler on your hip is instinctive, and as humans we've been doing it for years. You'll find your baby gets a good view from your hip,  and you'll have both arms free!

 

Front carry, facing outwards: 5 months +

Sometimes children are happier facing outwards while being carried. We recommend carrying your child in this position for max 20-30 minutes at a time, only while your child is awake, and no younger than 5 months of age.

 

Back carry: 6 months +

If you have an older baby or a toddler, you may find it more comfortable to carry your child on your back. We recommend that your baby is sitting unassisted before carrying him/her on your back. It's a good idea to book a consultation with GSL to make sure you're confident at getting baby on your back safely here.
