Baby transport

From WikiMD's medical encyclopedia

(Redirected from Infant carrier)

Baby transport (also known as infant carrier and baby carrier) refers to devices used to transport an infant or small child when walking, either in the arms or by various forms of carriers. These devices are typically used from the newborn stage until the child is able to walk a distance on their own.

Types of Baby Transport

There are several types of baby transport, each with its own specific use and benefits.

Pram

A pram (short for perambulator) is a wheeled vehicle designed as a baby's bed on wheels. Prams are designed for newborn babies up until they are able to sit up unaided.

Pushchair

A pushchair (also known as a stroller or buggy) is designed for infants who can sit up. Pushchairs are typically lightweight and foldable, making them easy to transport and store.

Baby Carrier

A baby carrier is a soft padded carrier that you wear on your front. Some can also be worn on the back. Baby carriers are suitable from birth, though some types are more suitable for older babies and toddlers.

Baby Sling

A baby sling is a piece of fabric that wraps around the adult's body and cradles the baby. Baby slings are suitable from birth and can be used to carry the baby in various positions.

Travel Systems

Travel systems are multi-purpose transport systems that can include a car seat, a pram, and a pushchair. They are designed to offer a complete transport solution for parents and babies.

Safety Considerations

When choosing a baby transport, safety should be the primary consideration. All baby transport devices should comply with the relevant safety standards and be used according to the manufacturer's instructions.
