Key Features
-
- Weight tested from 2.5 kg (5.5 lb) to 33 kg (24 lb)
- Realistically works right from day 1 (even for babies born prematurely or at low birth weight), gently supporting and growing with baby through to around 6-9 months.
- Made from super soft, 100% Cotton Jersey fabric
- Panel adjusts in width from 13 to 28 cm and in height 17 to 31 cm, meaning that this carrier can go smaller than any other on the market allowing it to fit a really very tiny baby and then grow incrementally with your baby as they do. Ensuring perfect support as little grows - ideal for those born at a low birth weight and/or born prematurely.
- Shoulder straps can be done up either under baby's bottom (recommended for babies under 3.5 kg), or into the waistband. Shoulder straps do not attach to the panel, which means this carrier really suits smaller and younger babies but will start to feel much less supportive once they are 6 months or over 7 or 8 kg.
- Offers 1 carrying position only - front inwards.
- Features a wide, lightly padded soft waist belt with unpadded, spreadable soft shoulder straps that cross over the parents back. Both the waistband and spreadable shoulder straps are very comfortable and supportive.
- Fits a wide range of parent shapes and sizes from XXS to XXL, men and women alike
The Neko Tiny has been designed with low birth weight and premature babies in mind. It is possible to make the panel absolutely tiny and as such this is a fabulous option for parents of a premature or low birth weight baby or looking to carry right from day 1 and don't like the idea of a stretchy wrap. It gives all the softness of a wrap without any of the tying. While there are other similar newborn carriers on the market - namely the Ergobaby Embrace, and Izmi Baby carrier - the Neko Tiny will work when these options are too big. However, it is worth noting that consequently this carrier doesn't last as long as the Embrace or Izmi Baby, nor does it offer as much flexibility of use (in terms of carrying positions) and while the fact the straps don't attach to the panel (and instead attach into the waistband) does mean it offers a better fit for very small babies but that is it also slightly harder to do up.
