Babywearing is quickly associated with Mom. And so is parenthood! Yet fathers have just as much their place. Often seen as childcare items, baby carriers, wraps, or babywearing clothes can quickly put dads off. Fortunately, products exist for you, dear dads!
Why can/should dad carry baby?
It's not just for women (yes, really, assert yourselves). Babywearing has many benefits for baby but also for the parent-child relationship.
- Better understanding and awareness of baby's needs
- Strengthening the father-child attachment bond, building a strong connection with baby
- Building confidence and anchoring the role of dad
But then, what should a man choose to carry his child?
Which baby carrier for a dad?
Physiological baby carrier
What you, as a father, should look for most in terms of ease of use and comfort during walks :) (or not!)
There are many baby carriers — the most important thing is that it is physiological, meaning it respects baby's physiology. Practical, they allow you to carry baby from birth (not all of them — only those made for it!) up to over 20 kg.
Note that there are no baby carriers dedicated to men, but they are all unisex (well, from experience, hot pink doesn't win everyone over among guys). They just need to be adapted to body types that may be larger, with the help of adjustable straps.
At Love Radius, we design UNISEX and understated products. You don't have to visibly show everyone your parenthood :)
Our two physiological baby carriers are suitable from birth thanks to the extension kit (booster and head support) up to 20 kg. They have ultra-padded adjustable straps that adapt to all body types for maximum comfort.
Three types of carry possible: front baby carrier, back or side!
Both come in 3 very understated colors that go with everything.

Baby wraps for men
Classic wraps
Once again, no wrap dedicated to men. They are usable by both parents, however you need to have a good length to tie the knots if you have a larger build. (more than 4.60m to be comfortable)
At Love Radius, there are two wraps adapted for men for physiological babywearing. They are made of a star-stretch fabric that allows you to tie the knot before placing baby in it: practical and reassuring, right? You can put baby in and take them out of the wrap without undoing the knot :)
With unisex colors, you'll definitely find the one you like.

Sling wraps
And yes, tying the knot can be daunting. To avoid this, there are slings, where thanks to rings, there is no need to tie a knot :)
The No Knot Little Wrap is perfect in this regard and is ideal for the first months. In 45 seconds, go wherever you want with baby. With its lightweight and two-tone fabric, it is suitable in summer and adjustable according to your mood.

Men's babywearing clothing
If you've decided to carry baby and even brave the cold by their side, you'll need clothes suited to the baby carrier/wrap + baby + you.
Most babywearing jackets and coats are designed for Moms. At Love Radius, we thought of you, dad, with a unisex sweatshirt that can even be worn to go out for a drink or jogging without your child.
Without an insert, it extends with zips on the side to make room for the child and returns to normal for your body alone. Ultra practical, for all seasons — you can even put other jackets over it since it's a sweatshirt.
