International Babywearing Week | 1-7 October
There’s something pretty special about babywearing. Long before it became a modern parenting trend, parents around the world have been carrying their babies close as part of everyday life. Today, babywearing continues to offer a simple way to keep your little one close while making everyday movement a little easier.
This International Babywearing Week, we’re celebrating the practice and sharing a few things to know before choosing a carrier. To mark the occasion, we’re also excited to introduce the CYBEX baby carriers: Amya and Laya, thoughtfully designed to bring comfort, connection and practicality to everyday babywearing.
Why Does Babywearing Matter?
For babies, being carried provides closeness and plenty of opportunity for interaction with their caregiver. Being held close can also be particularly comforting during those early months, when the world is still very new.
For parents, babywearing can make it easier to stay connected while moving through the day. It can be useful at home, outdoors, while travelling or whenever a pram simply isn't the most practical option.
And perhaps one of the best things about it? There’s no special occasion required. Babywearing can become part of the everyday rhythm of family life.
What Makes a Good Baby Carrier?
When choosing a carrier, comfort and support should come first.
Look for a design that allows your baby to be carried in an ergonomic position, with appropriate support for their developing body. The carrier should also be comfortable for the wearer, with adjustable straps and supportive weight distribution.
Then consider the details you'll appreciate every day: breathable fabrics, easy adjustments, secure fastenings and carrying positions that can adapt as your baby grows.
The best carrier is one that feels intuitive enough to use regularly and flexible enough to suit your family's routine.
Meet the CYBEX Amya
Designed to grow from newborn to approximately three years, the CYBEX Amya Carrier offers four ergonomic carrying positions to adapt through different stages.
Its breathable 3D mesh helps with airflow, while padded shoulder straps and a supportive waist belt are designed with parent comfort in mind. The Click-&-Go buckles also make getting baby in and out simple.
For parents looking for a versatile carrier that can evolve alongside their baby, Amya is designed to go the distance.
Meet the CYBEX Laya
For a softer, wrap-inspired feel, the CYBEX Laya Carrier uses self-adapting stretch fabric that adjusts naturally around your baby as they grow.
A kangaroo pocket keeps baby close, while breathable mesh helps with airflow. Magnetic Click-&-Go buckles make fastening straightforward, and the detachable coin purse gives you somewhere to keep those small essentials close.
Celebrate Babywearing Your Way
Babywearing doesn't have to look the same for every family. It might mean carrying your newborn around the house, exploring somewhere new together or simply enjoying a few extra cuddles throughout the day.
This International Babywearing Week, celebrate the closeness, connection and freedom that come from carrying your little one.
Because sometimes, the best place for baby is right there with you.
