Which baby wearing position is coolest in hot weather?

When the weather warms up, small adjustments to how you carry your baby can make a big difference.

Front carrying can often feel warmer because there is more full-body contact between you and your baby. Exploring hip or back carries can allow for better airflow and reduce skin-to-skin contact, particularly with older babies who are becoming more curious about the world around them.

This doesn’t mean front carrying isn’t suitable in hot weather, especially for younger babies. Choosing a carrier designed with extra ventilation can help keep both wearer and baby more comfortable. The Bizzi Growin Carrier features 3D spacer mesh panels that promote airflow between wearer and baby, helping to improve comfort on warmer days.

Another great benefit is never to cover the head but rather pop a sun hat on, not only will this protect for the suns rays, it will allow further breathability and keep baby cool.
