Baby development: which nursery equipment to choose (or avoid)?

The development of a baby is a comprehensive, rich, and fascinating process. It is partly predetermined by the transmitted genetic material and the "cabling" pre-established in the small human being. But, above all, it depends on its environment and the quality of its human interactions. Every gesture, every word, every contact helps stimulate the baby's sensory, motor, emotional, and cognitive development.Are you wondering which baby gear to choose? Which objects are truly useful and which are better to avoid, on the contrary? How, as a parent, can you support the development of your baby through your daily gestures? In this article, we guide you to make informed and tailored choices based on your child's actual needs. The role of the environment A reassuring environment based on rich human interactions A large part of the baby's development unfolds depending on all the elements that make up its environment. Its diet, sleep, rhythms, living conditions, and especially its relationship with adults are crucial. The people around it therefore play a significant role, through their gaze, words, and their interaction with it. The baby feels, touches, listens, senses, opens its eyes, observes, and feeds on all the information it receives. Its brain is wired to learn and become curious. But, without relationships with loving humans, there is no development. Your role is therefore essential.Parents are thus the first essential material for the baby's development. Indeed, the baby cannot do without them! Carry your baby, rock it, talk to it, place it in the crook of your neck, your arms, your chest, or on your knees. These gestures promote bonding, eye contact, play, communication, and stimulate its development. The essential role of carrying in the baby's development The physiological baby carrier, the carrying scarf, or the sling are perfect tools to support the sensory and motor development of the baby. Being close to you, the baby can fully express and develop its sensorimotor abilities.To learn more about choosing an appropriate model, discover which preformed baby carrier to use from birth. Respecting your baby's physiology, meaning its naturally curled position, is essential. Create a wake-up space with a mat and contrasting objects A playmat or gym mat, where parents and babies can gather on the floor together, is very useful in the first few months. Enhance this space with colorful and contrasting objects, such as a black and white book or a frieze placed near the mat. Indeed, these contrasting elements help babies focus their attention. Make sure to change the baby's position or the objects' placement so that they don't always wake up with a toy hanging above their head, or so that they don't have toys behind them that would force them to arch their back to look at them. Limit objects that replace human interaction Babies understand the world around them when they are in contact with the people who care for them. Consequently, mechanical swings that rock and play music, or music boxes reproducing parents' voices, should be used with caution. Baby development primarily relies on real, qualitative human interactions, with those who care for them daily.💡 Want to choose a baby carrier suitable for your baby's development? Take a look at the Neobulle carriers made in France! The first suitable toys to support baby's development Later, baby discovers their hands, mouth, and feet. Their hands, initially closed, open and then close around objects. The first toys should be small, lightweight, and easy to grasp with small handles suitable for their hands. They can be larger if they are lightweight. Colorful toys with varied textures Colorful and contrasting toys are better perceived by babies from 0 to 6 months. At this age, their sensitivity is very fine. It is not necessary for their toys to make noise and light at the same time. Indeed, this could be too stimulating. Prefer objects with varied textures and shapes: hard, soft, smooth, rough. They can be varied but few in number: if there are too many stimuli, the baby becomes distracted or bored. If there are a few objects around them, they can focus on them and discover many ways to use them. The evolution of play and motor skills in baby's development Baby observes, grasps, passes toys from one hand to the other, releases, and throws them. Their grasp becomes more complex and precise. Over the months, their toys evolve:containers with contents,boxes to fill or empty (simple small cartons will do!),stacking and building blocks to knock down 1000 times,simple or complex insertions, Screwing and unscrewing elements... Encouraging fine and gross motor skills The practice of fine motor skills is intensifying. Your baby is catching small objects with the thumb and index finger or practicing making bead necklaces on a string. Parallel to the development of manual coordination, gross motor skills are also evolving. It is preferable to offer games or furniture that promote standing without forcing it.Thus, during the acquisition of walking, the baby can support themselves on a small chair, a bench, or have fun with a push toy. These are wheeled toys with handles, or sometimes a box to fill. These games are very appreciated, especially if they have a brake for safety. The goal is not to surprise them by progressing too quickly. Small cars, trucks, or riding animals are also suitable.💡 Tip: place a water pack in the small chests to weight down the push toy.To foster interaction with the baby, ball or balloon games are excellent. They provide a timeless support. Indeed, they promote exchanges, coordination, and visual attention, and should be explored without moderation!Finally, your baby will also enjoy moving with you, sharing walks, outdoor visits, or trips to the market. Once again, the physiological baby carrier will accompany you, perhaps on your back this time, a vantage point that babies love. Materials to avoid: risks to baby development Any systems that encourage the baby to stand when they are not yet able to do so themselves should be avoided. Walkers or yuppalas, for example, force an unacquired posture. Uninteresting in terms of development, they can become dangerous for the baby's safety. In short, it is preferable to support the baby's development without forcing them into a position they have not yet mastered. Books, allies in the cognitive and emotional development of the baby Books accompany the baby's development from the first weeks of life. Initially, black and white images captivate the infant's attention. Then, stories can very early support a moment of awakening for the little one.Gradually, the baby will become interested, listen to the voice, look at the colors, follow the parent’s finger pointing to the images. These are supports of infinite richness that accompany them from birth to adolescence and help develop their imagination, language, vocabulary, understanding, and attention... There are no limits to the stories you can read together! The dangers of screens for baby development Many studies show that screens are useless or even harmful, when consumed too regularly, before age 6. The baby does not learn anything through screens. On the contrary, early use can significantly impact motor and cognitive development. It is important to understand these dangers in order to use screens wisely. Conclusion: promote harmonious baby development with appropriate materials You understand it: to promote baby development, prefer simple tools. A mat for everyone to lie on and do "tummy time," a carrier scarf to go everywhere with baby, and encourage interactions, balls to play together, books for quiet moments, and nature for walks!💡To stimulate baby's vision and attention from the first weeks, discover this great DIY of contrast and shape cards for baby's awakening!On June 30, 2025, Anne Petit-Jean Robert, psychomotor therapist (co-founder of Néobulle)

At what age should a baby carrier be used?

Here it is, your baby is here! The only remaining question is: at what age is it safe to use a baby carrier? First of all, it depends on the model. To help you see more clearly, here are the options for each age group.Carrying a baby is a precious practice, both ancestral and universal, and ideal for reducing the mental load of young parents. Passed down through generations in certain cultures, it is now attracting more and more families thanks to its many benefits.It is also a natural response to the needs of parents and the infant. After spending 9 months cradled in the uterus, the baby discovers a new world. It doesn’t realize that it is safe in its cradle… but instinctively, it knows it is safe in your arms. No wonder it calms down so easily there. However, these arms are also essential for daily tasks. Carrying takes on its full meaning here: it frees your hands while preserving the soothing proximity that the baby needs.After reading, you will know exactly which baby carrier to choose depending on your child's developmental stage!Summary From what age is it safe to use a baby carrier? Focus: from what age can you use a preformed baby carrier? Focus: carrying scarf or sling, what’s the difference? From birth to 4 months: physiological and adjustable carrying From 4-6 months: explore new positions From 12 months or once walking is acquired Questions about carrying based on the baby’s age Questions about installing the baby In conclusion From what age is it safe to use a baby carrier? It is quite possible to carry a baby from birth, provided you choose a model suitable for its size. The important thing is to respect its physiology: rounded back, tilted pelvis, knees raised, and head well supported. It is indeed the baby carrier that must adapt to the baby’s age, not the other way around. The key is to respect the natural position that the toddler adopts spontaneously: this is called the “physiological position.” In short, using a baby carrier is good. But opting for a model adapted to your child's age and development is even better. To do this, here are three essential tips, regardless of the model used:Check the physiological position: tilted pelvis forward, knees higher than the hips, rounded back, head well supported. Adjust the position as the baby evolves: over the months, you can choose to carry the baby on your hip or on your back. Carry your baby against your stomach: facing the world is not recommended, prefer the hip or back position. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations: each baby carrier has its own specifics (minimum weight, recommended age, etc.).💡 At Néobulle, our models are designed with perinatal professionals to adapt to the baby's development while ensuring the comfort of the wearer. Padded straps, flexible waistband, breathable and soft fabrics, intuitive adjustments… everything is designed to meet your needs.  Quick tip: from what age can you use a preformed baby carrier? A physiological and adjustable baby carrier, adjustable in width and height, can be used from 4kg. The MyNéo, a flexible and adjustable model, is even suitable from 3kg thanks to its innovative 3D knitted fabric!   However, more rigid models, which are less adjustable in height or seat level, are not recommended until the child can sit alone, around 5-7 months. ➡️ To learn everything about models suitable for newborns, check out our article "Which preformed baby carrier to use from birth?"!  Quick tip: sling or wrap, what’s the difference? It’s not always easy to distinguish between different carrying methods. For the preformed baby carrier, it’s quite visual: it is made of straps and clips. For other alternatives, let’s review them together!  The sling: quickness and lightness The sling is a short strapless wrap that adjusts with rings. The carrier is asymmetrical, so the fabric passes over only one shoulder. Suitable from birth up to 10-12 kg, it allows carrying on the stomach or hip, both inside and outside. Practical for breastfeeding or bottle-feeding, quick to handle, and easily slips into a bag. 🎥 Discover the basic sling setup ! The babywearing wrap: comfort and optimal adjustment The babywearing wrap is a long piece of fabric, several meters long. Often intimidating at first glance, it offers optimal comfort, adjusts perfectly to the size of the wearer and the baby, with precise support. It can be tied in dozens of ways: on the stomach, hip, back... For an ideal weight distribution, use it symmetrically, with fabric on each shoulder. In stretch version, it is suitable up to about 8kg. In woven version, like in the photo, it is suitable up to 18kg! Compatible with breastfeeding, it requires some practice to get used to. 🎥 Discover the basic woven wrap installation ! Our recommendations for each age Now that you know at what age to use a baby carrier, let's see which models correspond to each stage! From birth to 4 months: adjustable physiological carrying From 3kg, carrying is possible thanks to solutions that adapt to the infant's morphology:  à the traditional babywearing wrap, stretchable (with at least two layers of fabric on the baby's back) or woven to the cotton sling, a preformed adjustable in height and width like the My Neo or the Neo, The sling and wrap, for example, allow very precise adjustment: we talk about tightening fold by fold. The fabric thus envelops the entire little one. The My Neo, on the other hand, has no seams and has the perfect elasticity to fit your baby's body perfectly.  The goal? To promote proximity, which is beneficial for:  strengthening the attachment bond,  reduce reflux (GERD), soothe baby's crying, facilitate falling asleep, allow thermoregulation, thanks to the carrier's body heat, limit the risk of plagiocephaly promote the secretion of prolactin and oxytocin (yes, you can breastfeed in a baby carrier!) 💡MyNéo or Néo, what's the difference? These two preformed baby carriers are adjustable in width and height, thus adapting to an infant's size. The MyNéo is made of 3D knit, an innovative, slightly stretchable material. With its low price, it is particularly designed for use from birth to 12 months. The Néo is made of wrap fabric. Flexible and adaptable, it suits from birth to about 18/24 months, depending on your child's morphology. À partir de 4-6 mois : explorez de nouvelles positions ! The development of your baby progresses: increasingly curious, they observe, turn their head, look at their surroundings. It is often around 4-6 months that we start to question the possibility of using a baby carrier facing the world. However, carrying facing the world is not recommended . Indeed, this position exposes the child to too many stimulations which they cannot turn away from by snuggling against the carrier. Moreover, their spine is pressed against your chest and cannot be wrapped from the start. This type of baby carrier is designed so that the baby is supported by the crotch, which is uncomfortable. Finally, if the baby falls asleep, their head will sway forward, like when falling asleep on a plane or train, which strains the neck. As you understand: this is not ideal. Therefore, explore alternative positions:On your hip, for example with a woven wrap or sling,On your back, with your woven wrap, preformed baby carrier, or a mei-tai, these hybrid carrying methods that combine quick setup with a clip belt and the comfort of a wrap with tied straps.💡 Many parents mention the Pti-Evo as a trusted solution for carrying the baby on the back with confidence! https://youtu.be/Jb36-kOKPHI?si=ttvPKMm38gtkWlhJ&t=246 From 12 months or once walking is acquired When the baby starts walking, carrying becomes more occasional but remains a valuable daily aid. For dropping your child off at the nanny or at daycare, for running errands, using public transport, during walks (a 12-month-old's legs tire quickly!).At this stage, you will probably want to prioritize hip and back positions.💡 The Neo+ baby carrier emphasizes versatility thanks to its adjustable seat and height. Wondering at what age to use this carrier? It is suitable from 3 months to 3-4 years old, making it a long-lasting solution! FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions about Carrying and Child Age Questions about carrying according to the baby's age: Can I carry from birth?Yes, unless contraindicated medically. For young mothers, it is recommended not to overstrain immediately postpartum to protect the perineum. Carrying is, of course, still possible but for short periods. The co-parent can take over in the first few weeks.💡 Good to know: Limit the use of baby carriers to rigid, low belts that compress the carrier's abdomen. Prefer soft belts worn high, at the waist level, to reduce any pressure on the perineum.Should I wait until my baby can hold their head to carry them?No, if your baby is positioned physiologically (upright, pelvis tilted forward, knees higher than hips), their head will naturally stay aligned with the spine, against the carrier's chest. The fabric should reach up to their nape. If their head swings, adjust the settings: simply tighten the fabric a bit more or tighten the strap.Up to what age can I use a baby carrier? There is no fixed limit. The key word? Listen to your child. Continue to carry your child as long as it suits both of you. The duration and frequency of carrying sessions evolve over the months. Generally, it becomes less frequent when the child starts walking. 💡Good to know : you will notice that manufacturers indicate weight ranges for use on packaging and tags of their baby carriers. For example, from 3.5kg to 20kg. Keep in mind that these indications are based on safety tests carried out. This does not mean that the use will be physiological for a 20kg child. Each baby has its own size... and there is no one-size-fits-all model perfectly adapted from 0 to 3 years, for example. That is why at Néobulle, we have chosen to restrict the age of use of our baby carriers according to specific age ranges, for optimal back support for children.  Questions about installing the baby: Should I tuck my baby's feet into the fabric?No, always keep your baby's feet outside the carrying device. The goal: avoid activating the primitive reflex of automatic walking, otherwise your baby will push against the fabric and "stand". Therefore, opt for an adjustable baby carrier, whose seat adjusts to your baby's size.  Is it better to cover my baby's head with the fabric to better hold their head in place?No, it is not recommended to cover your baby's face, regardless of their age. The fabric should stay at the level of their neck so that the respiratory pathways are clear. This allows for safe carrying. Your child will be able to move their neck, strengthen their muscles, and observe their surroundings.Is it possible to sit with a baby carrier?Yes, regardless of your baby's age. Make sure not to compress their legs, but rest assured: you can eat, work, paint, play the piano... all while sitting and carrying your baby. In conclusion In summary, you can practice physiological carrying from birth by using equipment suited to your baby's size. Carrying and the type of installation evolve according to your child's age. Wraps, slings, preformed or hybrid baby carriers, each method meets specific needs. Some, like woven wraps, will accompany you from birth to preschool. Others are more suitable for a specific age range. To conclude, keep these 3 key points in mind:Respect your baby's physiology,Adapt the carrying method or installation to the child's age, development, and needs, Prioritize safety throughout carrying : clear airways, vertical carrying, high and properly adjusted installation.By applying these tips, carrying becomes a true extension of the intra-uterine cocoon, providing comfort, proximity and freedom to parents. To extend this experience, do not hesitate to get support from a carrying instructor or to register for virtual workshops led by the Neobulle team!

Baby carriers and breastfeeding: all our advice

Is breastfeeding in a baby carrier really possible? The answer is yes, a thousand times yes—and it's actually a valuable practice, both for the baby's well-being and the parent's comfort.

Co-parenting: much more than just a practical gesture

What could be more magical than feeling that little body all curled up against you? Maybe you've already experienced skin-to-skin contact at the maternity ward. That suspended, intense moment when the bond is woven to the rhythm of heartbeats.And what could be more natural to create a deep attachment between you two, as you are still discovering each other... Even if you've always been there, by their side, whispering sweet words through their mother's belly, you have to admit: she has a nine-month lead.But rest assured: carrying your baby is a wonderful way to catch up on this time, to build your bond at your own pace, gently and with closeness. A physical and emotional connection Carrying your baby means physically feeling the fullness of having them against you. Their body curled on your chest, rocked by your breathing, your heartbeat, your movements. Because yes, as soon as the baby is against you, your body naturally begins to sway.Seeing them fall asleep against you, letting go in complete trust... and feeling, yourself, becoming a parent. More and more competent, more and more connected to their essential needs: contact, movement, attention, security. Carrying helps calm their cries, soothe their fears, support their natural development. And, little by little, they will no longer just fall asleep against you, but will discover the world... your world. Safely, in this caring "pocket" that allows them to explore without being jostled, at their own pace. Much more than a practical solution Yes, carrying your baby allows you to have free hands. Yes, it's practical for walks, errands, falling asleep. But above all, it is a deeply instinctive and nourishing gesture.Unlike other mammals, human babies do not know how to move around at birth. They need to be carried. This is how they feel safe, how they develop their body, their brain, their five senses... and much more.Some babies demand a lot, others less. But all fundamentally need it. Otherwise, nature would have planned things differently. A carrying method that suits you All that's left is to find the carrying solution that suits you: according to your desires, your morphology, your daily life. The key is that you feel comfortable, autonomous, and confident in placing your baby in it.For that, don't hesitate to contact a carrying instructor. They are professionals trained in physiological carrying. They will teach you much more than knots: they will give you valuable keys about babies' needs, and help you find the most suitable solution for your duo.At Néobulle, we believe that carrying is a wonderful tool to strengthen the parent-child bond, support the baby's development, and allow each co-parent to find their place, naturally.Do you have a question or want to share your experience?

8 good reasons to get cuddles!

Cuddles, kisses, snuggles, and sweet moments… Do we really need excuses to enjoy these tender moments with our loved ones? We know the answer is no. But because sometimes we feel a little guilty about asking for a little bit of love from our little one and because he is tough to negotiate with, here is a list of 8 excuses, to help you feel good about it! Good reason to indulge in number 1: it's good for morale! About 10 seconds of cuddling releases several hormones: oxytocin, endorphins, and dopamine, which are involved in the processes of pleasure, attachment, and well-being.Giving a cuddle is not just a hug, it's happiness on a stick, it's SCIENTIFIC, and you can't fight against science… Good reason to cuddle number 2: it smells good Hmmm the sweet smell of our children's skin… A real drug, isn't it?While we hold them close to us, we can discreetly enjoy sniffing their skulls or necks and be intoxicated by their gentle baby scent.Let's enjoy it before they grow up and adolescence and its hormones come into play! Good reason to cuddle number 3: it’s good for self-esteem When we kiss and pamper our children, we help them feel loved. This contributes to their self-esteem and helps them trust themselves.We will be OBLIGED to cover them with cuddles, so it's for their own good! Good reason to cuddle number 4: it regulates temperature Physical proximity helps to regulate body temperature. It’s ideal forCooling down when it’s hot in the summerWarming up when it’s cold in the winterWhat a joy to all snuggle under the blanket when it’s cold outside for a family maximum cuddle!Bonus: it also works in baby carriers! Good reason to cuddle number 5: it boosts the immune system Did you know?Researchers from a university in Pittsburgh have demonstrated that people who receive more cuddles on average during a day are statistically more resistant to colds and less severely affected. They hypothesized that hugs would improve antibody levels.Admit it, that’s dreamy!Neobulle Bonus: how about pairing this little boost with a massage using Atchoum oil? Good reason to cuddle number 6: it reduces blood pressure Enjoy a sweet moment with a loved one releases oxytocin and contributes to relaxation and overall stress relief. All of this helps to reduce stress, heart rate, and blood pressure.General tour of free hugs, it's good for health! Good reason to cuddle number 7: it allows you to rest Isn't it nice there, relaxed, snuggled on the sofa with our little ones against us? Their chubby little fingers fiddling with our arms… Their regular breathing rocking us… Our too short nights painfully remembered, and our eyelids becoming heavier and heavier…With a bit of luck, they will fall asleep with us and it will be an opportunity for a collective nap! Good reason to cuddle number 8: after that, they will be too big! Growing up is big but somewhere, deep inside us, we know it… One day our children will be grown up, they will go to middle school (and even high school), and we will no longer have permission to approach within 200m of the school, so cuddling in front of friends?! Too embarrassing!So, we should enjoy it as much as possible and make the most of it while they still ask for cuddles!(It’s not something you should say too loudly but honestly, at home, away from prying eyes, without telling friends, a little cuddle with mom really isn’t so bad!) So isn’t that pretty awesome? Don’t hesitate to share all the superpowers of cuddling around you by letting your loved ones enjoy it too!

Carrying a baby with hip dysplasia

Hip dysplasia is a condition that affects a non-negligible proportion of newborns and is characterized (in simple terms) by impaired development of the joint and a poor positioning of the femoral head within the hip socket. Without causing pain to the child, it still requires management to prevent later complications. In this context, the question of carrying is quite common: can you carry your baby despite the braces? Is there a risk of worsening the condition? 1 – A baby carrier, yes, but not just any When hip dysplasia is suspected in an infant (or has been confirmed), the recommendations are to ensure that it is handled by avoiding as much as possible traction and extension positions of the leg, in order to maintain as much as possible the correct position of the femoral head in the hip socket. The proposed therapy is often carried out using bracing devices that aim to stabilize the leg in an appropriate axis and that, with time and the child's growth, the hip develops back to normal. The posture induced by orthoses is a combination of abduction (opening) and flexion of the thighs (knees also being flexed and spread apart). Considering all this, it appears that the recommended positions for physiological carrying, notably with a slightly open pelvis and knees raised higher than the hips, are quite similar to those induced by the braces used to treat dysplasia.Non-physiological carrying , characterized notably by a suspension by the crotch (narrow seat) and unsupported leg that "hangs", are on the other hand contrary to the intended goal.Whether by arm or with the help of a baby carrier, carrying a baby presenting hip dysplasia is always possible but only if it helps stabilize the hips in flexion and abduction, which will be the case if the baby carrier is physiological. 2 – Baby carriers and braces for dysplasia The biggest difficulty usually encountered is to reconcile the implementation of carrying with the presence of the orthosis. Several configurations are possible:The device can be removed a few hours a day: the baby carrier can then simply be used as usual during the "free" periods, which also allows for continuity of treatment by maintaining good postures longer.The device should never be removed: in this case, it will be necessary to adjust the setup to be able to use the baby carrier without compromising the treatment. Depending on the device used, the recommendations and adjustments will vary. The soft abduction diaper One of the simplest cases is that of the soft abduction diaper (also often called "cocoon" or "cocooning" diaper), as it is less prone to errors. The setup is the same as when carrying a baby without any brace, except that the little one will have more spread legs. The correct position is already provided by the diaper, the baby carrier simply fits around it. With an abduction diaper, due to its rigidity and the fact that it extends high on the baby's belly, it is not possible to achieve a pelvic tilt and a well-rounded back.With a wrap, you can opt for dynamic "plate-like" tying methods, such as the crossed swaddle for example. With a mei-tai or a preformed baby carrier, you can possibly widen the seat slightly to accommodate the more pronounced opening of the legs. With a sling, it is best to prioritize an installation as ventral as possible so that the carrier's abdomen maintains proper hip opening (on the hip, the opening is insufficiently pronounced).Be careful to check that the baby carrier does not compress the baby's leg at the level of the diaper (mainly with wraps and slings). If there is difficulty on this point, you can pad the fabric on the edge of the diaper instead of reaching for the hollow of the knee. The Pavlik Harness The Pavlik harness, being more flexible, is often less bothersome than the diaper at the material passages and is more conducive to pelvic tilt. However, you must be very rigorous with the installation to ensure the abduction position is well maintained, since this time, the device will not correct it on its own. Displaced carrying methods are not recommended with this system for this reason. Some children are sometimes clumsy; when this is the case, the baby carrier installation mainly requires ensuring that the position does not cause chafing or injuries and irritations. It may also cause discomfort for the wearer.In all configurations, substituting a period of orthosis wear with a period of carrying cannot be done without prior medical advice. 3 – label "international hip dysplasia institute" The International Hip Dysplasia Institute is a non-profit organization that works to prevent, diagnose, and treat hip dysplasia, aiming to improve the health and quality of life of children and adults with hip dysplasia. To this end, the organization has developed a certification label indicating that a product is safe for proper hip development. Baby carriers bearing this label guarantee that their design preserves the baby's hip joint; this is a useful mention when there is doubt on the subject. This label presents some limitations. Since it is a paid, expensive, and non-mandatory certification, the absence of the label does not necessarily mean that a baby carrier is unhealthy for the hips but sometimes just that the brand could not or did not want to perform the appropriate tests.Moreover, it is important to distinguish between the notions of hip preservation, carrying physiology, and safety.A baby carrier that keeps the femur in the correct axis but does not allow a good close body contact between the child and the parent nor a proper rounding of the baby's back is thus OK from a hip perspective, but not at all from a physiological and comfort standpoint (spread legs and straight back, it’s better than dangling legs but not very comfortable either).Similarly, the safety of the baby carrier is completely independent of the notions of hip physiology and posture. Carrying systems from the different ranges of neobulle have all been designed to allow proper development of the hips of very young children while respecting their physiology and safety. They all display or nearly all display the international hip dysplasia institute label and will allow you a comfortable carry for both your baby and yourself, with peace of mind.If your baby is at risk of developing hip dysplasia or has already been diagnosed with it, the use of all our tools is possible.Do not hesitate to contact a carrying instructor to help you choose the model, install it, and adjust it according to your specific situation!
