Here is the link to FAQ regarding Babybjorn including carrier and hip dysplasia (I am not affliated to Babybjorn
).
http://www.babybjorn.com/customer-service/faq/baby-carriers/I have copied and pasted the section as below:
I read on a web forum that baby carriers can cause hip dysplasia. Is that correct?
No, that is not correct. Your child cannot develop hip dysplasia or hip luxation by being carried in a baby carrier. Hip dysplasia, or hip luxation, is a congenital condition diagnosed through a medical examination. The notion that baby carriers can cause hip dysplasia is a misunderstanding and has no scientific foundation. This is confirmed by leading child orthopedists. I would say go for what the majority have suggested.
The big corporation sellers are so smart and sneaky in the way they present their products, sadly...of course one would not be able to develop congenital condition, that is a no brainer. But there is a variety of other problems that can be caused by incorrect positioning. Tamsyn had a great link for positioning, which I recommend to anyone considering baby carrier.
Baby wearing has so many benefits, if done correctly.
