The Neko Half buckle is a fabulously versatile carrier that combines all the pros of a woven wrap with the easy and intuitiveness of a buckle. The flexibility of fit offered to the wearer means that this carrier fits almost all body shapes and sizes - from ultra petite to plus sized and everyone in between. It is an absolutely brilliant option for parents of very different sizes wanting to share the same carrier as there is no adjusting or fiddling around changing the straps between parents - you just tie to give an exact fit and off you go! Likewise, this makes it a fabulous option for parents with a bad back or history of back pain, because the exact fit offered by the tying the shoulders combined with the supportive buckled waistband means you get a brilliant weight distribution and superb support for your back. Whilst this is true of many half buckles, what stands out about the Neko is the deep, firmly padded waist band and the unique shoulder straps. The shoulder straps are the real star and the real unique selling point of this carrier. While other half buckles have either wrap straps or padded straps - forcing you to chose - the Neko half buckle really ingeniously combines both so you can have the best of both worlds. Great for parents who have different personal preferences sharing a carrier but also great for people (like me) who prefer different things at different times depending on what else I am wearing and how I am wearing the carrier.
Meanwhile baby is just as supportively held - silky soft woven wrap fabric molds to babies body to give a ultra comfortable supportive fit that - thanks to the Neko's super adjustable panel - grows with baby to give a perfect fit all the way from around 4-6 weeks or so through to 2.5 years! Simple to use poppers hidden inside the waistband allow you to adjust the width as baby's legs grow, while a drawstring allows you to adjust the height of the carrier as baby gets longer through the body. The Neko also offers three carrying positions - front, hip and back - meaning that this carrier adapts to your baby's changing developmental needs too. As such the Neko Half Buckle genuinely offers your family loads of flexibility, longevity and offers great value as it will last through multiple children and grow with your family.
