Best Baby Carriers for Dads

People often think that a baby carrier that will fit mum, won’t fit dad, however this couldn’t be more untrue. Baby Carriers are generally designed for both men and women to wear, so both mum and dad can enjoy the benefits of keeping baby close.

Most parents want to choose a carrier that works well for mum and dad and we have selected carriers that are both easy to use and comfortable no matter who’s carrying the baby. But we know Dad’s can be quite specific and want things to be simple and easy, so things to think about are:

  1. How easily adjustable the carrier is
  2. What carry position Dad will want to use
  3. Fabric type (and when you’ll be using the carrier).
  4. How quick the carrier it to put on

    If you’re not sure, book a carrier fitting with our consultants so you can try on before buying!

Our Favourite Baby Carriers for Dads

Beco Gemini Cool Mesh

 

"Its super comfortable to wear for both myself and my hubby and sometimes we argue over who is going to carry our 20 month old girl. Its so easy to adjust and we've used it both facing out and inward and on our backs."

Why our carrier consultants think it’s great for Dads

  • Even though this is a relatively small carrier, it’s still easily adjustable to fit dads.
  • The straps can be crossed over for extra comfort
  • Baby can forward face out in this carrier, which is a super popular option for Dad’s
  • The Cool Mesh panel is perfect for summer and year round as Dad’s seem to prefer the extra airflow

Why Mum’s and Dad’s love it

  • “Its super comfortable to wear for both myself and my hubby and sometimes we argue over who is going to carry our 20 month old girl. Its so easy to adjust and we've used it both facing out and inward and on our backs.”
  • “I have also had lots of comments from other mums on how easy it looks to use & how comfy my baby looks in it! Hubby finds it easy & comfortable to wear too!”
  • “Love how can be front facing as well as rear facing on front as this is how my husband like to carry.”

Beco 8

 

"my husband finds it so comfy (and likes the plain grey) that he will often race me to the carrier. I have a very narrow frame so I love that it fits me incredibly comfortably by crossing over the straps but then it also fits my husband with broader shoulders very well uncrossed."

Why our carrier consultants think it’s great for Dads

  • This carrier has all the bells and whistles, wide, padded straps with extra lumbar support built in.
  • The front panel can be zipped down to reveal a mesh layer, allowing better airflow in summer and then zipped up again in cold weather.
  • Can be worn facing out on the front, which dads often seem to prefer
  • Range of unisex designs which Dad’s love

Why Mum’s and Dad’s love it

  • "My husband prefers an outward carry which is easy enough to change to. The cool fabric is going to be great in the summer as my baby is quite a hot little one. I also love how you can either have the straps crossing over or not, whatever way you prefer and feels comfortable.”
  • “What I love about this carrier:
    • my husband finds it so comfy (and likes the plain grey) that he will often race me to the carrier
    • I have a very narrow frame so I love that it fits me incredibly comfortably by crossing over the straps but then it also fits my husband with broader shoulders very well uncrossed.
    • Husband raves about the lumbar support!"

Ergobaby Omni 360 - Cool Mesh

Why our carrier consultants think it’s great for Dads

  • With all over support, the Ergobaby Omni 360 is great for all round comfort
  • Not only is it supportive, but it comes in a range of unisex classic colours and designs
  • Dad’s love the airflow from the mesh panel to keep cool

Boba Wrap

 

"Love our boba wrap! Chose the grey as it goes with every outfit and my husband will also wear it. Got the bamboo one to help regulate temperature, especially as we had a Summer baby. Easy to put on and use."
