A child carrier is a device designed to safely transport infants or young children while allowing the caregiver to remain hands-free. These carriers come in various forms, including backpacks, slings, and front-facing models, each offering different levels of support and comfort for both the child and the adult. Many child carriers are made from durable materials and include safety features such as harnesses and padded straps. They are popular among parents and caregivers for outdoor activities, such as hiking, as they provide a convenient way to carry children while exploring nature.
