Keep your baby close with these baby carriers

Having a baby can often feel restrictive — like you can't go to the store without bringing a thousand different tools and items — but it doesn't have to be. Having a baby carrier makes life much easier for shorter trips where you want to keep the baby safe but also have your hands free to do what needs to be done. We put together a list of some of the best out there, just for you.

Best overall

Infantino Flip Advanced 4-in-1 Carrier

Staff Pick

This baby carrier is cheap yet versatile. It has four different carrying configurations as well as a waist strap to help distribute the weight. Trust me, when your baby starts getting bigger you will bless that strap as the shoulder-saving piece of cloth it is. The back-carry position on this carrier is especially helpful for older babies as they love it and it is far more comfortable for Mom or Dad.

Best baby wrap

Boba Wrap Baby Carrier

Traditional wraps have been used for many years to carry small infants and they work extremely well. Because you wrap it across so much of your body the weight becomes evenly distributed, taking a lot of the pressure off your shoulders and back. The Boba wrap also comes in a huge variety of colors so you can wear your baby in style.

Rugged and Manly

Mens Tactical Baby Carrier

Get yourself geared up and ready to go with this mock tactical vest baby carrier. While it is a fun gimmick it's also a practical carrier with strong buckles to keep "the package" safe. It even has helpful leg straps to keep your baby's legs from uncomfortably flapping about. The carrier is even MOLLE-compatible so you can attach canteens and other accessories as you need.

Complete the kit

Mens Tactical Diaper Bag

If you are going to have a tactical carrier you should probably have a tactical baby changing backpack too. Made of the same material as the carrier, the backpack as a built-in baby-changing mat — essential for men without changing facilities — and multiple pockets to keep things organized.

Strap in

I don't about you but the stroller for our two-year-old is enormous. Sure, it's helpful for long shopping trips or walking around a museum, but for a quick trip to the store, it's a nightmare. Having a great carrier like the Infantino Flip Advanced 4-in-1 Carrier makes short trips a breeze. All you need to do is strap it on and slide the baby in. Then you have your hands free to do whatever you need, and the comfort of knowing your baby is safe.
