Key Features:
Hip Seat Design: The carrier often includes a firm hip seat, typically made with a non-toxic EPP foam. This design allows the baby to sit in a natural, ergonomic position (the "M" shape), which is crucial for healthy hip development. This is a key selling point, as it's often approved by organizations like the International Hip Dysplasia Institute (IHDI).
Multiple Carrying Positions: Most Bebear carriers offer several ways to carry your baby, adapting to their growth stages. These positions typically include:
Inward-facing: Suitable for newborns and infants who need head and neck support.
Forward-facing: For older babies who have good head control and want to see the world.
Back carrying: For toddlers who are able to sit upright and have more weight.
Horizontal position (with hip seat only): This is often recommended for newborns or for assisting with tasks like feeding and burping.
Comfort and Support: The carriers are designed with padding in key areas to ensure comfort for both the parent and the baby. This includes:
Wide, padded shoulder straps to distribute weight.
A wide and well-padded waist belt with a strong buckle and Velcro for stability.
Memory foam-padded leg openings for the baby's comfort.
