What is an alternative to the front carrier for infants?

Sling Carriers For Toting Your Infant

Sling carriers are one type of baby carrier that is convenient for hands-free baby toting. Worn over one shoulder, baby gets tucked safely and comfortably in the pouch of the sling. This carrier works lying down or in a more upright position. Sling carriers have the added bonus of an easy on, easy off characteristic due to their simple design. Breastfeeding moms may find sling carriers easy to use during nursing as well. Sling carriers work well for carrying newborns and even work for toddlers. One way to add some neck support in a soft sling for newborns and young infants is with the use of a head pillow.
