This carrier comes in 2 different finishes - all cotton or 'sunshine'.
The cotton is beautifully soft and light and a great all year round choice. The solid colour cotton Kahu Baby's are 100% certified organic cotton throughout, while the prints feature 100% certified organic straps and inner layer combined with a cotton print fabric outer layer.
The Sunshine Kahu Baby carriers are made from a woven polyester that is rated UPF50+, this fabric blocks 99% of the sun's harmful UVA & UVB rays. The fabric feels soft, breathable, silky and actually cool to the touch! It's also a wicking fabric, meaning you won't feel sweaty in this carrier and that it dries extremely quickly (either after getting wet or washing). Making the Sunshine the ultimate warm weather sling. A great option for beach holidays, splashing about poolside or warm weather walks closer to home too. Plus add a jumper and you'd be plenty warm enough in winter too!
