  "question": "Which baby carriers are easiest on the lower back?",
  "answer": "Diono Carus Complete: A wearer with back and hip issues reports no digging or irritation, and a partner with a different build also found it comfortable. The wearer reports that the fabric panel covers much of the back and spreads a heavier child's weight more evenly than a narrow-strap carrier, feeling more supportive and less tipping.\nCybex Laya: The wide waist belt supports both the belly and the lower back and spreads the weight instead of loading the shoulders, which made a real difference for a wearer with back complaints.\nCybex Amya: The store listing says the Amya has the AGR Seal of Approval for ergonomic design and back-pain relief.\nTushbaby Hipseat Carrier: A Pilates instructor and mother uses it to reduce back, hip, and shoulder pain while carrying her children.\nErgobaby 360 All-Position Baby Carrier with Lumbar Support and Cool Air Mesh: Many users find it comfortable once correctly adjusted, praise its back support and say babies settle or sleep in it. Others report the waistband digging in, shoulder or neck pain, bulk, or straps slipping from narrow shoulders.",
