FAQ

What's the M-position and why does it matter?

Most carriers we carry support the M-position (knees higher than hips) for healthy hip development — including all soft structured carriers and ring slings in our collection. Check the individual product page for specific ergonomic details.

What's the difference between a ring sling and a structured carrier?

A ring sling is a single piece of fabric worn over one shoulder, adjusted by pulling the tail through two rings. It's lightweight, packable, and great for quick on-and-off carries. A structured carrier has a padded waistband, shoulder straps, and buckles — more support for longer carries and heavier babies. Most babywearing parents end up owning one of each.

What's the best baby carrier for dads?

Dads tend to love structured carriers for their ease of use and adjustability, and babywearing shirts for the newborn stage. Check out our guide to the best baby carriers for dads for a full breakdown.

How long can I wear my baby in a carrier?

As long as you and your baby are comfortable. Most parents wear for 1-3 hours at a time. A well-fitted carrier with proper weight distribution — like a padded structured carrier — makes longer carries much more comfortable for the wearer.

What age can I start babywearing?

Most carriers support babies from 7 lbs, which covers most newborns from birth. Always check the specific weight minimum for your carrier — ring slings and soft structured carriers like the Mabē Monarch are designed to work from the newborn stage through toddlerhood.

Do I need an infant insert for a newborn?

It depends on the carrier. Some structured carriers require an infant insert for newborns while others do not. Please check the product page for your specific carrier for full details on newborn compatibility and requirements.
