Baby carriers and slings: Best Buys 

Need the best baby carrier or sling for you and your newborn baby?

Many other websites can offer you reviews of baby slings and carriers, but Which? carries out comparative tests to a depth of detail that no other review website can match – so if we put our Best Buy stamp on them, you can be sure you're choosing from the best.

• Which? surveyed parents to find out what they wanted to know about baby slings and baby carriers before we developed our testing programme. We put parents' major concerns at the heart of our testing.
• We enrolled 48 new parents and their babies to take part in our massive user trial. As well as giving us their first impressions, our mums and dads recorded every ache and pain they got from wearing their babies.
• Our Best Buys are easy to get on and off, comfortable to wear and provide the baby with a secure and comfy place to bond with mum or dad. We help you avoid ones that are difficult to get to grips with, uncomfortable to wear or resulted in tears and tantrums from mother and child in our trials.

Our testing and user trial are conducted by an independent laboratory with experience in testing consumer products. We use standardised test methods and ask each person the same questions to get consistent feedback on how well the products perform.

Which? is independent - we work for you, the consumer, so you can be sure that our product recommendations are influenced only by our test results. We don't take advertising and we buy all the products that we test ourselves, so our advice helps you to make the right choice first time and avoid costly mistakes.
