# Straps of Life
|
|
|
|
As a father, I have really enjoyed getting time to be physically close with my child. Mom has it built-in with breastfeeding. I researched carriers before our baby arrived. I concluded they were safe and would be helpful. Never could I have predicted just how much I love and rely on one!
|
|
|
|
## Concerns
|
|
|
|
Hip dysplasia and asphyxiation are the main concerns using carriers.
|
|
|
|
Both can fairly easily be avoided if you take the time learn how to properly seat baby and adjust everything.
|
|
|
|
Be sure to read safety guidelines, sign the terms and conditions and the end user license agreement and comply with state and local laws, etc, etc.

## Benefits
|
|
|
|
I have enjoyed most the closeness it gives me to be with baby.
|
|
|
|
My arms can only hold baby for so long. With a carrier, I'm able to go much longer. My back tends to take the brunt of the work. Fortunately I'm young, and with extra stretching and strength training, I feel like everything is working out.

I highly recommend getting a carrier for your little one! We actually ended up with three various kinds, from gifts and our own purchases. I use the [LennyLamb Lite (product page)](https://us.lennylamb.com/shop/by/product_group/baby_carriers/erp_product_type/lenny_light), my partner uses a wrap (just fabric) and a [sakura bloom (product page)](https://sakurabloom.com/) carrier. We like them all for different reasons.
