- When they’re tired. Sometimes, toddlers will fall asleep in their carriers. As long as you have support for their head, there’s no reason why you can’t let them sleep away! However, do ensure that their head is supported. If you aren’t sure whether or not it is, check on them every few minutes to make sure everything is ok and gently reposition their head if necessary.

For moments where you can’t keep an eye on them due to a work meeting or household work such as vacuuming, wearing your toddler is perfect in allowing you to keep your toddler real close by.
While wearing your toddlers is not appropriate at all times, there are still many instances when it’s perfectly safe and convenient to do so. Always trust that inner parental knowing of safety and wellbeing even if anyone else advises otherwise.
