This is full of ignorance. It's safer for the child to be on the caregiver's back than to be running around while he's mowing. Just think about that.

Baby carrying or 'babywearing' is the most natural, efficient way to transport your child, accomplish chores, and go about many normal daily routines with little ones.

My partner and I have worn our child on our front, side, and back since she was born. I grocery shop with her on my back- she doesn't terrorize other shoppers or make the experience miserable by running all around or grabbing items off the shelf. Traveling is a cinch with your child on your back- no fuss getting through the airport or traveling to areas that are not stroller friendly.

When wearing a a child properly, it is completely safe, comfortable and helps build attachment between child and caregiver. It also help you to respond to your child's needs quickly.

Our child is four now, and we still wear her at festivals, on hikes, in crowded areas, at the zoo, downtown, etc. she's so comfortable that she even falls asleep on our backs, which means we don't have to interrupt our activities to get her home to take a nap.

Just google 'babywearing benefits' :)
