The carrier is all one piece. No inserts or extra padding are necessary. You can use the carrier as is for a newborn and can continue to use it until your child outgrows it.

Age Range
Comfort
The six positions allow you to hold your child on all sides of your body per your preference. For infants, they can curl up in fetal position and rest snuggly against your chest using the removable hood for head support and also to block harmful UV light that can damage their new skin and and irritate their eyes while they are trying to rest. When babies get a little older they are able to put their legs through the bottom of the carrier so that they dangle. They can do this either facing forward or facing outward. You can also position the carrier so that your child rests comfortably on your hip. The carrier also converts so that you can carry your baby on your back. There are so many options that you will definitely be able to choose the most comfortable position for you and your child.
The carrier is also designed to be comfortable for parents as well. The straps can be configured in a few different ways. It can be crossed at your back or worn as a regular backpack with a cross strap for added security. The straps as well as the waist band is adjustable as well to fit a multitude of weights and heights. It is designed to concentrate the bulk of your child’s weight around the waist as well so that your shoulders are not overly burdened.
Versatility
The infant design lets your carry your growing little one in much the same way as the newborn position but their legs can dangle freely from the sides of the carrier. This position allows for healthy hip development. They can face you or they can face out depending on whatever is more comfortable for you and your child. You also have the option to use the support hood in these two positions. It is removable in case your child is facing frontward. It is not recommended that babies be put in the forward facing position until they have proper independent head and neck control which happens at around 6 months of age.
The next position allows your child to sit on your hip on either side of your body. It holds your baby snugly in place. This is probably the most natural position that you are used to carrying your child in when you pick them up so the carrier helps you support your growing child so you can hold them in that position even longer. The last position allows you to carry your baby on your back.
Everything is adjustable. The waist belt is 26 inches to 52 inches so it can fit most people. The straps adjust for several heights as well. Parents can keep playing around with all of the settings until they find a configuration that suits them.
It is also possible for you to breastfeed a newborn while he or she is inside the carrier without removing it. This is a giant plus for women who are on the go and do not want to go through the hassle or taking off the carrier every single time they need to feed their baby.
Design
The LilleBaby Carrier has been recognized for its hip safe design for babies. It is ergonomically supportive and positions your baby correctly so that their hips and spine form in the right manner. This is a very important feature to have in a carrier that is both front and inward facing.
