Ergonomics of Baby Carrier

Abstract

The study concerns the Baby Carrier's Ergonomics on the current baby carriers in the market, scopes, and issue statements are defined with an overall design Model review. There are many baby carriers on the market these days including; baby slings, baby wrap, and baby carrier backpack. Most parents tend to put the baby in the wrong position. The ergonomic carrier allows parents to carry the baby on the front, back, and hip to ensure that the baby is placed in the anatomically correct position for proper spine and hip growth. Many carriers have openings that hang nearly straight down the thighs of the child. It is also important to note that the material selection is vital in order to give the baby and parents comfort. Many carriers have openings nearly straight down where the baby's thighs hang. The material choice will also allow both the baby and their parents feel relaxed. This project aims to examine the dimension of ergonomics in the current baby carriers’ model and review the norm and legal issues related to the layout of babies. Therefore, this need will improve the baby carrier's safety and ergonomics. Benchmarking and anthropometric analysis were often performed to differentiate between three types of baby carrier that are baby sling, baby wrap and backpack carrier in terms of size and ergonomic characteristics.
