BABY
CARRIER
An infant
back carrier can make it easier to go shopping, walking, or
hiking with a baby. However, framed back carriers should not be
used before a baby is four to five months old. By then the
baby's neck is able to withstand jolts and not sustain an
injury. Bicycle carriers should not be used before a baby is one
year old. Developmentally, children are just learning to sit
unsupported around 9 months of age. It is not until this age
that infants have developed sufficient bone mass and muscle tone
to enable them to sit unsupported with their backs straight. MORE TOPICS IN:
