Why I don't think you should buy a baby to toddler carrier before your baby is born...
I love that babywearing has grown in popularity over the last few years! I see so many parents absolutely loving snuggling their little ones while getting stuff done... and it's fabulous. But one of the downsides of this growing popularity is baby carriers are now on almost all must have lists of things to buyContinueContinue reading "Why I don't think you should buy a baby to toddler carrier before your baby is born..."
FAQ - In search of a "easy" carrier... what are the easiest baby carriers?
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?"
9 Ways to Wear a Close Caboo
The Close Caboo is an excellent and very popular newborn specialist baby carrier, it's a hugely popular option both in the library and the webshop. I have blogged before about its pros and cons and compared the different models available. Here I wanted to focus on what you can do with it! Most people onlyContinueContinue reading "9 Ways to Wear a Close Caboo"
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"
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"
