Another notable feature is stirrups on either side of the child seat. These are intended for toddlers or older babies to get them in a proper sitting position or take some of the pressure off resting in the child’s seat for hours at a time. While it’s certainly not an essential item and we’ve found the foot rests can be hit or miss depending on the child, it’s a nice thing to have if you’ll be out on longer trips. And in most cases, the stirrups are removable, so you can store them away until your child is old enough or interested in using them. Stirrups can be a useful feature on longer hikes Child Age and Weight Recommendations Suitable from birth until your baby is approximately nine months old, the Izmi is an ideal introduction to babywearing during the so-called fourth trimester.

It is not like the normal one, but its quality matters. It should be weather friendly. There are a lot of fabrics that become extremely hot in summers. You may take the child outside in the summers.

Weight recommendations: The carrier has been designed to grow with your baby from infancy (0 months) to toddlerhood (age 4) and has specific width and height settings based on the age or weight of your child (rather than leaving parents to adjust it themselves based on guesswork). It also has ‘infant positioning’ instructions specific to babies 0-2 months.
