Once you have had a baby, you need to consider how you will be getting him or her around. One of the popular trends, especially among environmentally conscious parents, is the option of getting a designer organic baby carrier.

There are several things to consider when you look for a baby carrier.

What exactly is organic? Certified organic means that the carrier has been produced from all natural products without the use of chemicals or pesticides, so that your baby's delicate skin will not be harmed by the contact.

Make sure that your baby carrier is washable. When you're dealing with baby items making sure it is machine washable is a must.

The biggest decision when picking out your designer organic baby carrier is figuring out what style you want. There are slings, wraps and over the shoulder carriers.

Slings, which can come with or without an adjustable ring, are basically tubes of fabric that go over one of your shoulders and hang across your chest, with the baby held inside in a cozy snuggle. Younger babies often really enjoy the sling design because they feel comfortable in the womb-like embrace, and you can even breastfeed the baby without removing the carrier. However if the baby is heavy, the sling design can place a lot of weight on your neck and shoulders.

Unlike a sling, a wrap baby carrier involves longer pieces of fabric that you wrap around both the baby and your own body and then secure with by tying the ends of the fabric. This way you get better back support and the baby is carried either in front of you or on your back, with more room to look out and see the world as opposed to the inward position of the sling. However, the long pieces of fabric can be complicated to secure around yourself, especially while juggling a child at the same time.

The third type is over the shoulder carriers, which is popular among moms looking for flexible designer baby carriers. They can also be worn with front or back carry as with the wrap, but have more structure built in so that they are easier to put on and adjust. It's also possible to keep the child inside the carrier while moving it from one person to another.

The best designer organic baby carriers combine aspects of all these styles with 100% organic fabrics for the most comfortable and stylish way to go around with your baby
