By Jody AllenWhen you’re on-the-go, nothing beats comfortable and safe baby slings or carriers so you can take your baby with you whether you’re outdoors or even on a trail.
Baby slings and carriers are truly godsend. With these, adventure-loving mums and dads can now take their bubs with them anywhere, even on trek.
Even for mums and dads living a simple and sometimes, sedentary lifestyle, baby slings are still the best thing on earth for them as they can bond with their little ones as they are kept tight and close to their hearts (quite literally).
Over the years, baby companies have come up with new developments in carrier designs and materials to fit every parent’s and baby’s needs.
So we gathered the best 10 that would make you realise carrying your baby can be this nice and comfy.
