Two carriers, two approaches

The Baby Carrier 2 is the updated, multi-position model with a lighter build and a built-in sunshade. The classic Baby Carrier emphasizes a simple, adjustable fit that grows with your child from newborn to 33 lbs. Understanding these differences helps you pick the one that matches your daily routine.
