While simultaneously fitting an wide range of different parent sizes and shapes.

This carrier comes in 2 main finishes - a standard all cotton and the "Cool Air Mesh". The cool air mesh is perfect for summer babywearing and warmer climates and also year round for parents and babes who have a tendency to run warm! The only other difference to be aware of is that the standard uses buttons to adjust between facing inward and facing outward carrying modes while the Cool Air Mesh uses sliders instead. The sliders are easier to do one handed and/or with the baby in the sling, but they also are easier to fiddle with absentmindedly!
