Before I had my baby I was not well versed in safe babywearing because our media is filled with parents practicing unsafe babywearing. We all see it: Dads with their babies strapped to them forward facing, going about their day. I thought that was the kind of carrier that I would have to carry my baby in. In fact, I even went out and bought one. After a little research I found that forward facing carriers and carries was not something that I would like to subject my son too.
Boba, one of our favorite carriers, is the only company that exclusively sells baby carriers that keep the baby facing inward. Research shoes that carrying baby facing inward helps baby attach in a healthy way to parents and prevents hip dysplasia, allowing baby to stay safe and healthy, both physically and psychologically. Interested in learning more about attachment parenting? Dr. Sears is a great source.
Why is facing out not recommended:
1. Facing forward does not support your baby's legs. This does not allow for proper hip development.
2. Facing forward makes it tough for the wearer to carry the baby. Babies curve out when forward face versus hugging your body when facing inward. This creates an awkward balance and makes the wearer arch their back while the baby is facing forward.
3. Facing forward places unnecessary pressure on the spine. Since this position stretches the naturally convex rounded curve of the babies spine into a hollow back position it can compromise the spine.
4. Front facing places undue pressure on the groin and may chafe the inner thighs of your baby. I always compare forward facing to the comfort you experience in those harnesses while jumping on a trampoline at the mall. It isn't comfortable. Think about your little boy with all that pressure on his groin...not good.

When you babywear correctly you are creating a great bond with your baby. That time is also allowing you to be hands-free to allow you to complete tasks you may not have been able to while simply holding your child. Boba has not only stayed true to its mission to promote safe babywearing, they have also made a carrier that fits great and has added features. I love the additional straps on the shoulder of the Boba 3G, I have used them to attached toys and keep my purse on my shoulder. The sliding back strap allows for me to put my baby in the carrier without help and makes it easy to adjust for comfort. Although my baby isn't big enough to need them, Boba includes foot straps for older babies to add even more support.
