A baby carrier is a wearable device designed to secure and carry an infant or toddler, allowing caregivers to hold their child hands-free while maintaining physical closeness.
Purchase Justifications.
1. Promotes hands-free multitasking.
2. Closeness can distract child from crying.
3. Enhances language development passively.
Current wraps and carriers on the market - all serve one purpose. When a baby reaches a larger size, weight or age the wrap can no longer be used.
Current market item flaws.
Baby wrap carriers have a short lifespan lasting only about a year before being discarded.
The disposability raises environmental concerns, highlighting the need for sustainable alternatives in the baby care industry.
