Porte-bébés/poussettes

An ergonomic soft-structured carrier uses padded shoulder and waist straps to fully support baby's weight against your body, spreading the load evenly. A hip seat carrier adds a rigid seat platform at hip height that baby sits on, which takes some of the strain off your back and is often preferred once baby is heavier, closer to toddler age.

It means the carrier positions baby's legs in an M-shape, thighs spread and knees slightly higher than the bottom, which supports natural hip joint development. Carriers that let legs hang straight down don't offer this support, so it's worth checking a carrier's seat width before buying, especially for younger babies.

Most guidance suggests waiting until baby has solid head and neck control, generally around 5 to 6 months, before using a front-facing-out position. Our 4-in-1 carriers support multiple positions, so you can start front-facing-in for newborns and switch to front-facing-out once baby is ready and curious about looking around.

Many parents find they use both for different situations — a stroller for longer outings, shopping, or when baby is sleeping, and a carrier for stairs, crowded spaces, hiking, or moments when you need your hands free. Neither fully replaces the other, so the right mix depends on your daily routine.

Rain covers, mosquito nets, and footmuffs in this collection are designed to fit a wide range of standard stroller frames using adjustable elastic edges or zippers, but exact fit can vary between stroller brands. Check the dimensions listed on the product page against your stroller before ordering if you're unsure.
