Whenever I ask a parent what they want in a baby carrier, top of the list is always “something easy”. Over the years I’ve had different ideas about what makes a carrier easy to use, or easier than other carriers. I have come to the conclusion the biggest factor by far is not actually anythingContinueContinue reading “FAQ – In search of a “easy” carrier… what are the easiest baby carriers?”

Lillebaby Complete All Seasons Review
The Lillebaby Complete, as its name suggests, has and does everything! It has a frankly staggering 6 carrying positions, works from a newborn (or maybe a month old) until at least 3, maybe even 4 years old. Its filled with clever design features and has a emphasis on parent comfort with oodles of padding and lumbarContinueContinue reading “Lillebaby Complete All Seasons Review”
Vatanai Gaia Labrinth Review
This wrap is unlike anything I’ve ever tried before! It’s absolutely stunningly beautiful. I’ve had the good fortune to try a good number of stunning wraps before, but where this one is different is the slubs. Slubs arise when the threads used to make the wrap is of uneven thickness … leading to some bigContinueContinue reading “Vatanai Gaia Labrinth Review”
Why I don’t recommend the Baby K’Tan
Probably seems a little harsh to say about a pretty decent, ergonomic, simple carrier aimed at newborns but I don’t generally recommend the Baby K’Tan for one simple reason – It’s sized. It does not adjust to fit different sized parents, instead you need to buy the correct size to fit you. There are aContinueContinue reading “Why I don’t recommend the Baby K’Tan”

Baby Bjorn One Review
There are some carriers I have in the library because they fit a wide range of people, are very versatile and are generally brilliant. And then there are ones that are a bit different and I have because they are good for a specific situation or a particular subset. The Baby Bjorn One definitely fitsContinueContinue reading “Baby Bjorn One Review”
Beco 8 Review
In many ways the Beco 8 is the Beco Gemini’s big brother. The Beco 8 shares so many of the features that I love about the Gemini. In particular; Firm thick padding at the waist band combined with soft light padding at the shoulder straps. This combination is rare in the carrier world, but isContinueContinue reading “Beco 8 Review”
Connecta Review
The first time I ever saw a Connecta my first thought was “I bet that’s uncomfortable”. At that point I’d only ever tried fairly well padded carriers like Ergo’s and Manduca’s and the thought of carrying my then 9 month old something with a completely unpadded waist band and barely-there padding made me shudder. I was,ContinueContinue reading “Connecta Review”
Didymos Lisca Achat Review
This was the second wrap I ever bought and is still one of my absolute favourites. I adore this wrap. It’s just perfection. I’ve used this with both my children and its proved itself to be absolutely perfect for tiny tiny newborns and heavy older toddlers/preschoolers alike. What sets Lisca’s apart from other wraps isContinueContinue reading “Didymos Lisca Achat Review”
