Baby Carriers with Back Support

Baby carriers with back support are a mother's (and a helpful dad's) best friend! What good are padded straps and waistbands if the overall design of the product leaves you with a tired and aching back within minutes of snapping all the latches and tucking baby inside?

Like so many parents, my husband and I are on a restricted budget and made the mistake of shopping for a cheap baby carrier that looked sturdy enough very early in my pregnancy while we were still very excited about being prepared and BEFORE we actually had a baby to put in it or had read reviews to get names of back carriers with back support because we didn't know how important that a product with lumbar support would be.

Let me tell you that babies get heavy very quickly and even big, strong men can feel the strain. Now when looking at carriers, I look for good back support.

Baby carriers with back support are very important but like every other woman I know, I don't want to be out in town carrying my baby in something ugly no matter how comfortable it might be.

The Action Baby Carrier in the Bedalia pattern seems to fit all my criteria for a supportive design and an attractive appearance according to the reviews that I have read and from what I can see in the pictures.
