Section 2: Soft Structured Carriers

A soft structured carrier (SSC) is a structured carrier that uses buckles or ties to adjust and secure the carrier. There are three main types of SSCs: buckle carriers, Mei Tais, and Onbuhimos.

Buckle carriers are the most popular type of SSC and are known for their ease of use. They have a padded waistband and shoulder straps that can be adjusted to fit any body type.

Mei Tais have a structured waistband and shoulder straps that can be tied for a customizable fit. They provide good back support and are ideal for longer periods of babywearing.

Onbuhimos are similar to Mei Tais but lack a waistband, making them ideal for parents who are pregnant or have a Csection recovery.
