The type of carrier best suited for your baby at each age is largely dependent on their level of development as well as their height and weight. Aspects such as head and neck control as well as hip and spine position play a significant role in the type of carrier used at each age.
If the correct method of carrying your baby, or baby-wearing, is followed and the correct choice of carrier is used, then hip dysplasia or dislocation will not likely occur.
The Ubuntu Baba Stage 2 carrier was comfortable and generally easy to use. I did have to watch the tutorial video a few times to learn how to fasten the carrier and manoeuvre Jackson into the carry positions but once I had it figured out it became easier. It is a very reasonably priced carrier and is ergonomically safe and designed with a lot of thought and care. I have a history of neck problems, but the Ubuntu Baba did not trigger or exacerbate any pain or stiffness while I wore it.
