With four carrying positions as your baby grows, they're designed to make keeping your little one close feel easy and practical.
Are baby carriers safe for babies' hips?
Yes, a well-fitted ergonomic baby carrier can support your baby's developing hips in a natural, comfortable position.
Izmi recommends supporting your baby across their seated width, from one knee pit to the other, with their knees slightly higher than their bottom in an M-shaped position.
Both Izmi Baby Carriers have adjustable seat widths to help provide the right support as your baby grows. If you're unsure about the fit, our expert team can help with a free 1-to-1 fit check.

Is a baby sling the same as a baby carrier?
The terms baby sling and baby carrier are often used interchangeably, and both describe ways to carry your baby close to your body while keeping your hands free.
There are several different styles, including buckle carriers, fabric wraps and ring slings. Izmi Baby Carriers combine the soft, close feel of a wrap with the convenience of adjustable buckles and a supportive waistband.
