No. Izmi Toddler Carriers are optimised for babies and toddlers aged 7-8 months+. Based on many years of experience with thousands of families, our recommendation is that the front-facing position can be a great option for short periods, for babies aged between approximately 4 and 9 months. After this, you’re likely to start finding your child feeling heavy as their centre of gravity and increasing weight pulls away from you. In the Izmi Toddler Carrier, your child can be carried with one or two arms over the top of the carrier’s body panel, when facing you, or on your hip, or back. This will give them the freedom to look and move around without feeling restricted. Read more about forwards facing carrying on our blog.
