There are many reasons to buy an infant carrier. For one, holding a baby, even a small one, can be quite tiring on a person's arms and muscles. If you've ever tried vacuuming while holding an infant, you'll know that this is quite a workout, not just on the arms, but also the back. Having a child slung on your hip twists your body and the since the weight is all on one side, the displacement of the baby's weight is not equal, causing strain on your back. Another reason is that you may be somewhere that doesn't allow strollers, or your baby is not old enough to sit in a cart, or their are no carts. Whatever the reason is, a Snugli Front and Back Pack Carrier might be for you.

Unlike most carriers, the Snugli Front and Back Pack carrier lets you carry the baby in three different ways: facing forward on your back, in the front facing your chest, or in front facing forward. Many will tell you that a baby can get bored with the carriers that only face your chest (and the majority of carriers are designed this way). How exciting could that be for an infant? They want to see the world and all their view consists of is the fuzzies on your sweater. Bor-ing. Having the baby face forward allows them to see straight ahead, but at a higher perspective. It can carry a baby that weighs between 7 and 26 pounds.

Buckling and wearing the Snugli Front and Back Pack Carrier is a breeze, with dual-sided buckles, and you're wearing it. While at first you might feel a little silly having your baby strapped to your body, a Snugli Front and Back Pack Carrier can really be helpful to your lifestyle.
