Get the Sling that is Best for Baby's Spine and Pelvis
A baby’s spine is placed in a compromising position in many of today’s popular carriers. If the carrier positions the infant upright, with legs hanging down and support is at the base of the child’s spine, it puts undue stress on the spine, compromises developing curves in the spine, and can cause a condition called spondylolisthesis.
When a baby wants to be more upright to see the world around her (around 4-5 months of age), the Over the Shoulder Baby Holders allows her to sit cross-legged, so her weight is dissipated through her legs and hips. Many other carriers are styled so that the baby's legs are hanging down, where again the young spine has to bear the entire weight. This can cut into the baby’s circulation by holding her legs apart in a bowlegged manner during the important early months when the pelvis is soft and forming. (R. Casses, D.C.)

The Over the Shoulder Baby Holder fits
both small mom and large dad, and will fit any baby from newborn to 3 year-old.
The Over the Shoulder Baby Holder baby sling has padding in three places:1) In the rail of padding that goes under your newborn’s head 2)
Along side your newborn's body—a newborn often needs the extra support of
padding to be secure 3) The shoulder is padded so that you can carry your
baby or toddler all day without undue discomfort.
When you carry your
6-month to 3 or 4 year-old on your hip, the padding on the edge of the sling prevents
the fabric from cutting off the circulation to your little ones legs. The rest
of the sling is not padded so that it will be cool and breathable.
