  "question": "Which baby carriers are suitable for a baby to nap in, based on the checked product facts?",
  "answer": "The checked facts do not state whether any of these carriers is safe for naps, so the points below cover only the stated limits and fit. Ergobaby Alta Hip Seat Mesh Baby Carrier: Designed for babies weighing 12 to 45 lbs, recommended for ages 4 to 48 months. Judged to function surprisingly well as a plain hands-free buckle carrier, holding the baby secure and close with weight spread across shoulders and hips before the seat modes are considered. Ergobaby Alta Hip Seat Baby Carrier (Mesh): Use only for babies between 12 lbs (5.5 kg) and 45 lbs (20.4 kg). The seat is described as firm and wide, so a baby's bottom does not slip off when the baby moves. Ergobaby Alta Hip Seat: Only use the carrier for babies between 12 lbs (5.5 kg) and 45 lbs (20.4 kg). A curved bucket seat supports the baby's hips and a wide padded waistband spreads the weight. Ergobaby Embrace Newborn Carrier: The carrier is designed for babies from 7 to 25 lb, recommended for about 0-12 months. As the baby got heavier the carrier slipped lower on the waist no matter how tight the waistband and straps were, and it felt heavy on the back.",
