Baby Carriers Rental – for closeness, freedom & a relaxed everyday life
There's hardly anything more beautiful than having your baby close to you while still keeping both hands free. Whether on a walk, in the supermarket, or simply at home in everyday life: An ergonomic baby carrier makes exactly that possible – for more tranquility.
Especially in the first weeks of life, carrying helps build trust. Your heartbeat calms, your warmth provides comfort. For many newborns, the carrier is the safest place outside the womb.
But not every carrier fits immediately. And as your baby grows, your needs change too. That's why you can flexibly rent baby carriers at StrollMe. You can test in peace what really suits you – without wrong purchases, without stress.
Whether backpack carrier or comfort carrier: Here you'll find the model that supports you in everyday life. Sustainable, comfortable, and as flexible as your family life.
Why a baby carrier is exactly right for you
Because closeness is not only beautiful, but makes you strong.
For your baby, being carried is as familiar as the heartbeat they already knew from the womb. And for you? It suddenly feels quite easy to manage everyday life with a baby – literally and emotionally.
Especially at the beginning, when everything is new, a baby carrier gives you:
- ✔️ Closeness that calms: Your baby hears your voice, feels your warmth, and comes to rest faster.
- ✔️ Freedom for your everyday life: You have both hands free – for coffee, household, or older siblings.
- ✔️ Connection & bonding: Carrying strengthens the emotional relationship and your child's basic trust.
- ✔️ Ergonomic safety: Properly adjusted, a baby carrier is good for back, hips, and posture – for both of you.
- ✔️ Sustainable flexibility: At StrollMe you rent exactly what fits right now. And switch easily when your baby grows.
This way, carrying becomes not just practical – but a real matter of the heart.
Types of carriers overview – pros & cons explained
Baby carrier is not the same as baby carrier. Depending on everyday life, body feeling, and your baby's age, a different system might suit you better. Here you get an overview of the most common carrier types – including strengths and things to consider:
Elastic wrap
Ideal for the first weeks. Snuggly like a second skin, especially suitable for newborns. You tie it once and then simply place your baby inside.
✔ Advantages:
- • very soft & snuggly
- • perfect adaptation to small bodies
- • washable and easy to store
✘ Consider:
- • tying requires practice
- • less suitable for long carrying times
Half Buckle / Mei Tai
The combination of wrap and comfort carrier: The shoulder straps are tied, the waist belt is buckled. Ideal for parents who want flexibility and stability.
✔ Advantages:
- • good weight distribution
- • adapts well to different body sizes
- • flexible in use
✘ Consider:
- • tying requires some routine
- • can seem cumbersome with frequent use

✔ Advantages:
- • quick & easy to put on
- • multiple carrying positions possible
- • well-padded, ergonomically designed
✘ Consider:
- • correct adjustment is crucial

Back carrier / Backpack carrier
For older babies who can already sit safely – perfect for excursions, hikes, or longer carrying times.
✔ Advantages:
- • high carrying capacity
- • back-friendly for parents
- • additional storage space
✘ Consider:
- • only suitable from sitting age
- • more for outdoor than tight spaces
Conclusion: Which carrier is the "best" depends entirely on you – and the moment you're currently in. That's why it's worth getting to know different systems. And that's easiest when you rent carriers instead of buying directly.
Which baby carrier fits which age?
Babies develop incredibly fast – and with them, the requirements for a good carrier change too. What provides gentle support for your newborn might not be enough a few months later. The good news: There's a suitable solution for every phase.
A quick overview helps you find the right carrier for your current age:
Ergonomics & safety – what really matters
Especially when carrying newborns, many parents wonder: “Is this even healthy?” The good news: Yes, carrying is not only allowed but even promotes your baby's physical and emotional development – provided the carrier is ergonomically adjusted.
👶 For your baby:
- ✔️ Squat-spread position (M-position): The knees are higher than the bottom, the back is gently rounded. This position relieves the hips and supports healthy development – especially in the first year of life.
- ✔️ Stable head & neck support: Essential for small babies who can't hold their head up yet.
- ✔️ Close-to-body position: Babies feel most comfortable when carried close to the body – this provides security and helps with falling asleep.
💪 For you:
- ✔️ Wide, padded shoulder & waist straps: So weight is distributed evenly – especially during longer carrying periods.
- ✔️ Adjustability: So the carrier fits your body too – whether tall, short, slim, or broad.
- ✔️ Back-friendly relief: Well-adjusted, the carrier even prevents tension.
Ergonomic means: It must fit both of you. That's why it's worth trying different models – at StrollMe comfortably through rental.
Carrying positions & directions – what makes sense when
It's not just the carrier type that counts – but also how and where you carry your baby. Chest, hip, or back? And facing you or the world? Here's an overview of what's behind the positions – and when they really make sense.
🚨 Important to know: The natural squat-spread position (M-position) is only guaranteed when the baby faces you. Forward-facing carrying can be okay briefly – but shouldn't become the standard position.
Summer, heat, sweating – which carrier cools with you?
It's 30 degrees and your baby wants to be carried? No problem – with the right carrier and a few simple tricks, you'll both stay cool. Because closeness and comfort don't have to be contradictory even in summer.
☀️ Mesh vs. Cotton – what's better?
Mesh is a breathable net material that provides better air circulation. Many modern comfort carriers use mesh inserts in the back and head area – ideal for warm days or heat-sensitive babies.
Cotton is soft, skin-friendly, and natural – but gets moist quickly in heat. Well-suited in combination with thin carrier inserts or in transitional seasons.
In short:
- • Mesh = for really hot days
- • Cotton = for moderate temperatures or short carrying times
💡 5 tips for relaxed summer carrying:
- ✔️ Carry preferably in chest or hip position – back can cause additional sweating in heat
- ✔️ Use light colors that store less heat
- ✔️ Dress your baby in one layer less than yourself
- ✔️ Don't forget sun protection – head and legs are often exposed
- ✔️ Take regular carrying breaks and enjoy shade
Even when it's hot: body closeness feels good. With the right carrier, summer feels much lighter – for both of you.
Carrier, stroller, or backpack carrier – what suits you?
Do you really have to choose? No – because life with a baby isn't either-or, but and. Carrier, stroller, and backpack carrier fulfill completely different tasks – and each has its strengths.
A baby carrier gives you closeness, mobility, and free hands – ideal for narrow staircases, short distances, or restless phases when your baby seeks body contact.
A stroller offers comfort on long walks, lots of storage space for shopping, and is indispensable for many parents in everyday life.
And if you like being outdoors: The backpack carrier is the perfect solution for bigger babies who can sit independently – especially when hiking or traveling.
🧩 How carrier, stroller, and backpack carrier complement each other:
Our conclusion: Carrying is the perfect start – but often not the sole solution. Most parents do best with a combo: carrier for closeness and everyday life, stroller for comfort, backpack carrier for adventures.
And because you don't have to commit forever: At StrollMe you can rent everything exactly when you need it. Flexible, sustainable, and perfectly suited for your next life phase.

How long can I carry my baby at once?
As long as you both feel comfortable. Initially, 30–90 minutes with breaks is ideal. Later also longer – just listen to your signals and your baby's.
Is carrying ergonomically healthy?
Yes – when the carrier is correctly adjusted. Important: M-position, well-supported back, no hollow back for you. Ergonomic carriers also relieve your shoulders and lower back.
Which carrier is suitable for summer?
Carriers with breathable mesh are ideal. They provide good ventilation and prevent heat buildup – especially on hot days or when carrying outdoors.
Wrap or baby carrier – what's better?
Both have their advantages. Wraps are especially snuggly for newborns, carriers often more practical in everyday life. Many parents test both – that's exactly what rental at StrollMe is for.
When can I carry my baby on my back?
As soon as your baby can hold their head securely – usually from 6 to 9 months. Then back carriers are also comfortable for longer excursions.
Can I carry after a cesarean section?

What if the carrier doesn't fit?
No problem – at StrollMe you can exchange the model easily. This way you find out in peace what really suits you.
