There is nothing in the world that is more dear to parents than their baby. Every moment of this period is special for both the baby and the parents. The baby begins to experience the world outside the mother's womb, the place where all its needs are taken care of. The parents learn to respond to their babies needs. Everything is a new experience. One such experience is taking the baby outside, away from home. In fact, every time the baby is taken out, it is a real special occasion, as there are a number of things that must be considered before venturing out from home. Parents have to think of the place to be visited, the duration of the outing, the accompanying people, the mode of transport, the weather, and the elaborate preparation regarding the things that need to be carried for the baby. Looking after a baby is a full-time occupation. One of the activities in this experience is carrying the baby itself. All cultures throughout human history have found ways of carrying babies throughout day-to-day life. Parents in India mostly carry their infants in their arms or on the hip. Babies are swung around to the nursing position when it is time to feed. In north-east India, the practice of tying the baby to the back is commonly seen. Babies enjoy the warmth and security of being close to another person and observe the environment, making sense of it and gradually adding to their experience. There is also a segment of people in India who use baby carriers that enable them to have both hands free while at the same time maintaining proximity to their loved one. This group of people also owns other kinds of equipment that will tend to be used for other special types of outings where the baby cannot be carried all the time but needs to be kept in a cradle.
