Are baby carriers safe for newborns?
Yes, when baby is upright, high enough to kiss, with an open airway (chin off chest) and well-supported. Use a carrier rated for newborn weight or a proper insert.
Do carriers cause hip dysplasia?
Not if baby’s legs are in the supported "M" position (knees higher than bottom). Look for carriers acknowledged as hip-healthy by the IHDI.
