Buckle Carriers
Often referred to as 'Soft Structured Carriers' or 'SSC' these are the baby
carriers that many people think of when someone refers to a sling or carrier
However, most on the high street are front carrying only, and only suitable
up to about 6 mths.
There are in fact many brands of buckle carriers that are suitable for front
and back carries and up to 2-3yrs of age.

How they work:
~ These are the carriers with a main panel
and straps that use buckles instead of ties
or rings to fasten them.
~ Some are suitable for front carries for
short amounts of time.

~ You need to get a carrier that has a
padded waist band as well as shoulder
straps to distribute the weight evenly, and
in our opinion a chest strap (like a
rucksack has) makes them much better for
back carries.

~ Hip Carriers also come into this category
- they have a waist strap that clips closed
and then a panel with a single strap that
goes diagonally across your torso onto one
shoulder. These can be very comfortable
and quick to get on and off - but are only
suitable from about 5 mths (i.e. with head
control)
