If you love going for walks with your child – even in places where the stroller or pram cannot go – this carrier is perfect for slightly older children, whose little legs get tired more quickly. If your child is happy to continue being carried, even though they have outgrown the regular carrier, the shoulder carrier is also a good way to maintain closeness with your child while protecting your back and arms. You get the child in the carrier by taking it over your shoulder, bending down, and letting the child sit in the carrier.
