@Johnna they said baby wear not car seat. Aka baby holders for your body
OP- it’s more about hip dysplasia to wear them to your body. I highly recommend Emma Hubbard on YouTube who is a Pediatric Occupational Therapist. In this video towards the end she discusses baby wearing. https://youtu.be/hJlljeWCexQ?si=Chty5wuqRngl6iWI
My ergobaby had a leaflet explaining when they could be moved around and face forward. I probably started around 6 months but only here and there, mostly facing me then. But by 7 months we were always going shopping facing forward because he HAS to flirt with the ladies in the till 😅😅
I believe it’s about head control, being able to face them forward. We started doing it when she was about 6 months and could sit up, around the same time we moved her to the stroller part of the pram Usually the carrier you buy will explain
do car seat research please ! they have to reach a certain height or weight limit first but I believe it’s the weight ! I know 2 year olds that are still rear facing.
