Babywearing is an extraordinary experience that's both emotional and practical. We choose to wear our babies not just out of convenience, but also because it's one of the best ways to bond with our little ones and be closer to them. That's why it's important to have the perfect baby carrier - one that's complete in every way - from comfort and functionality, to safety and style. And it's what LILLEbaby's creators set out to do when they decided to create the best baby carrier in the world. The result of that is the LILLEbaby COMPLETE carrier - the only baby carrier with six unique carrying positions, each one designed for maximum comfort for you and your baby.

Here's your complete guide to wearing your baby in six different ways, with your very own COMPLETE baby carrier.

FETAL POSITION

Age

• Newborn to 3 months (minimum 7 lbs/3.2 kg)
• Use wide seat setting
• No extra insert needed

Benefits

• Baby is face-to-face with you and is protected from the surroundings. You can see and hear him, and attend to his comfort.

• Neck support adjusts to fully support baby’s head and neck
• Comfortably nurse baby with easy-reach adjustment buckles on the sides
• Privacy hood for nursing or sheltering from the sun and wind

INFANT FACE-IN POSITION

Age

• Newborn and up (minimum 7 lbs/3.2 kg)
• Discontinue use when baby is ready to sit with legs around your waist
• Use narrow seat setting

Benefits

• Allows for wearing your baby during the babywearing gap (when baby has grown out of the fetal position, yet is too little to sit in a wide-seat carrier with legs around parent).
• Offers a carrying position that other wide-seat carriers don’t
• Is a carrying alternative to the fetal position
• Ergonomic: the patented cupped seat keeps baby ergonomically seated in a broad seating position with good support of back, buttocks and thighs, and with a natural rounded back

• Baby’s arms may lie above the neck support or rest through the sides of the carrier

Benefits

• Ideal for learning as baby can see and participate with the surroundings while being safe and content, close to you
• Increases interaction and bonding due to the face-to-face proximity with siblings and family members
• Speech development and communication enhanced: baby is able to see and mimic facial expressions to communicate
