Benefits of Baby Harness / Strap Carrier

1. Access
With a baby sling, there’s no need to use the elevator or ramp. And hiking trails, crowded shops, and public transport are all easily negotiated.

2. Expense 
Prams aren’t cheap – even a second-hand one may be more expensive than the cost of one of the pricier slings.

3. Space 
Prams take up a heap of room in the back of the car and in the home. A sling, on the other hand, will fit into a small bag and can be easily carried until you need it.

4. Skin-to-skin contact
In a sling, a baby is next to your chest all the time, snuggled in and secure. This promotes bonding and breastfeeding. Most babies will fall asleep easily in a sling with the motion of walking or rocking.

5. Communication
Being so close to you in a sling, babies can advance developmentally; by watching you they learn language and non-verbal cues.

6. Hands-free
Everyday tasks, such as housework, are easy to get done with your baby in a sling. As you go about your chores, baby happily snuggles into you, either sleeping or watching her surroundings.

7. Fitness
Carrying a baby long distances is a great workout. Carrying any extra weight while walking adds to the benefit of a workout.

Steps for Parents to keep their Children save in Harness / Strap Carrier:

•   Keep the child’s face, especially nose and mouth, uncovered at all times;
•   Avoid the child being curled into the ‘C’ position where the child’s chin touches the chest and blocks the airways;
•   Show caution and seek medical advice for using baby sling carriers for premature infants, a low birth weight, or if baby has a cold;
•   Regularly check the child to ensure she has not slipped into the pouch (if the sling is a pouch type), covering her nose and mouth;
•   Reposition the child after breastfeeding to keep the nose and mouth clear; and
•   Acknowledge that some slings may be a safer option than others, such as those that carry the child in the vertical position.
