Bébé Voyage members are always asking for advice on how to pick the perfect baby carrier when strollers are not an option. We’ve done the research for you! We asked our community of over 10,000 traveling parents to help you prepare for your next trip.

Some families opt to never travel with a pram. When flying, babywearing can be a great option for getting bébé to sleep peacefully on the plane. In busy cities, babywearing keeps your child(ren) held safely up against mom or dad. In more rugged terrain, babywearing allows parents to be active and adventurous outdoors.

We discuss our top baby carriers on the blog. There are a few that come up time and time again as stand-out favorites by our community of globetrotting parents.Some kids don’t take well to the traditional soft-sided carriers. Other parents find the carriers to be uncomfortable for one reason or another.
