Our Review
Thoughtfully designed to support even the smallest babies from birth.
The soft panel and wrap-style fabric mould around baby’s body for a close, secure carry.
Shoulder straps cross behind the back and fasten with buckles, offering a supportive feel without bulk.
Lightweight and breathable, with a gentle stretch that allows baby to settle into a natural position.
Panel height and base width adjust as baby grows, making it suitable through the early months.
While beautifully suited to newborns, most babies will outgrow the carrier around 6–9 months.
Fit Notes & Hints
For very small babies, fasten the waistband behind baby’s bottom to keep the panel short
Once baby is around 3.5 kg, shift the waistband to your waist and fasten shoulder buttons to stabilise the panel
The fabric allows baby’s legs to be positioned comfortably with knees above bottom
The carrier has a soft, low-profile feel and suits petite wearers well
Not suitable for back carry or for use into toddlerhood
