Child carriers are, quite simply, the oldest known method of transportation. Prehistoric in origin, the child carrier is humanity's first and best method of caring for a child . . . providing the developmental benefits of close contact with mother or father without depriving parents the freedom to fulfill their day-to-day duties. By all accounts, keeping your child close to you in a child carrier during their early development is beneficial to both you and them. It is not only a bonding technique, but also a way for your child to see and interact with the world as you do, and not as an idle spectator.
These are just some of the benefits to "wearing your baby":
Pure Convenience
You can use Both Hands! Shopping, eating, cleaning, taking care of your other kids, and walking busy streets become much easier when you use a baby carrier. You always know where your baby is, and keeping them close enhances their development (see below).
Aids Breastfeeding
Some babies feed better while moving, and children that are slow to gain weight are known to gain weight if they are held or carried in a sling for several hours per day . . . proximity to mom encourages eating and weight gain.
Many child carriers and slings, such as X and Y, are designed specifically for breastfeeding. These and other models often have special flaps to protect mother's privacy.
Enhances Baby's Development and Experience
Studies indicate that 'worn' babies have improved visual and auditory alertness relative to children that are frequently left on the floor or in a crib or playpen. Other studies indicate that carried babies have improved speech development since they are more directly exposed to normal adult conversation rather than 'child directed speech'.
Keeping your baby 'up' and with you as you manage your day-to-day tasks, especially in a forward facing child carrier, provides them with a 'heads up' perspective on the adult world.
Reduces Crying and Colic
A survey of 99 mothers of infants in Pediatrics indicates that carrying a baby for at least three hours per day reduces crying and fussing by 43% in the day and 51% at night, even when the child is set down.
Builds a Bond
Perhaps the best thing about a child carrier, baby sling, or front carrier is that the close proximity between parent or caretaker and baby can be instrumental in enhancing the close bonding that children need in order to be happy and satisfied. For mothers in particular, the close and constant proximity afforded to users of baby carriers stimulates and encourages the development of unspoken cues.

Thursday March 6, 2008 - By David Sweet, About.com Guide to Camping since 1997

Peter Dean opened Upside Over's online doors in April 2006. Peter and Cynthia Dean are outdoor enthusiasts who wanted their kids to have appropriate outdoor gear too. With this thought in mind, Peter created Upside Over, a store dedicated to offering the best selection of outdoor gear for kids.

We are here to assist families in finding the right gear for the right activities for their children while continuously researching and, in many cases, hunting down the right products to get the job done.” ~ Peter

Baby Carriers and Baby Slings:May I give you a hand
While baby carriers and baby slings give your baby the developmental benefits of intimacy and physical closeness to you, the most convenient benefit to parents is their easy, hands-free operation. With your baby safe and your hands free, you can go about everyday tasks such as grocery shopping, running errands, or even vacuuming with peace of mind.
Many carriers come in chic, modern designs focusing on both comfort and style, so you can stay in fashion and still be comfortable while wearing one.
Baby Carriers
Many carriers hold your baby facing your chest when he's small. Then—once your baby has sufficient head control—some baby carriers let you face your baby forward so he can explore the world and enjoy the view. Some carriers are reversible even, switching from front- to back-carrying so you can carry a small baby on your chest and then use the carrier as a backpack when your infant is about 6 months old.
Also, as your baby grows, carriers can be easier on you since they distribute your child's weight more evenly along your back instead of concentrating on your shoulders. Generally, baby carriers work great for newborns and toddlers up to 30 pounds.
Baby Slings
With a little practice, baby slings and wraps can be easier to put on and take off compared to the typical baby carrier. Slings and wraps not only allow you to nurse discreetly, but they even let you lay your baby down without waking him. This is because of an important distinction between carriers and slings: carriers have safety restraints, whereas slings and wraps do not.
For this reason, many parents opt for slings when the baby is newborn and not quite as active as an older infant. Some parents can continue to use the sling throughout the first year and even when their baby becomes a toddler, although many children find the sling too restrictive once their muscles and senses develop more.
Baby Backpacks
Baby backpacks are best for an older infant—your baby must be able to sit up alone before riding in a backpack. Baby backpacks are very similar to camping-style backpacks in that most have a lightweight frame that supports and distributes weight along with padded backing and shoulder straps. Many backpacks offer additional strapping, such as a waist or sternum strap, to distribute the weight over more of your body.
If you and your baby are the outdoorsy type, you should look for models that come with accessories such as sun or rain canopies (or the option to upgrade or add-on) so that your baby stays cozy and shielded from the elements.
The drawback to backpacks is that some models can be cumbersome to put on and take off if you’re by yourself or if you need to make frequent stops. However, some baby backpacks are equipped with frames capable of standing on their own and even acting as a baby seat, supporting your little one while you take a break.
