The Marsupi is a great option for anyone who wants a soft, close option for carrying right from newborn but are put off by the tying, steps and faff involved with wraps. Or for anyone who has limited hand/wrist movement or strength and struggles with clips found on other carriers. The Marsupi's cleverly designed velcro makes getting a secure, comfortable, cozy carry an absolute doddle. And it's soft 100% organic cotton fabric means this carrier is lightweight, breathable. It combines the softness of a wrap with the secure structure of a carrier, making it an great choice for a first carrier.

Size Guide:
Choose the size of your Marsupi based on the size of the adults who will be wearing it. The best way to choose size is to measure the waist of each parent or caregiver who will be using the carrier;
- S/M - Fits waists between 65-100cm. Works best for petite parents and those who comfortably wear UK womens size 10 and below, or mens size S and below.
- L - Fits waists between 75 and 105cm. Fits most women and men.
- XL - Fits waists between 85 and 120cm. Works best for larger frames and those with plus-sized waist measurements.
The sizes overlap generously, most people will find they can wear more than one size equally well. If sharing a carrier between more than 1 adult, choose the size that fits both parents waist measurement. If not planning to share and you are unsure which size to go for, opt for the size you are most in the middle of the sizing windows to ensure you have the greatest velcro overlap. For instance I am a UK size 12 with a waist measurement of 85 cm and I can wear both S/M and L equally well, but I get slightly better velcro overlap with the L so if purchasing only for myself I would buy the L. But either work equally well on me. If you are unsure about what size is the best to try, you are welcome to message me with your waist measurements and I'll be happy to advise.
Hire it and see how it works for you. If you love it, you can purchase your own here and those that hire first will receive a £7 discount code they can use against the price of a new one. Or choose a 12 week hire to rent for the whole 4th trimester - great if you already have a carrier for when baby is bigger and this saving both the planet and your wallet from bying something new that you'll only need for a few months.
