Whenever I ask a parent what they want in a baby carrier, top of the list is always "something easy". Over the years I've had different ideas about what makes a carrier easy to use, or easier than other carriers. I have come to the conclusion the biggest factor by far is not actually anythingContinueContinue reading "FAQ - In search of a "easy" carrier... what are the easiest baby carriers?"

Baby Bjorn One Review
There are some carriers I have in the library because they fit a wide range of people, are very versatile and are generally brilliant. And then there are ones that are a bit different and I have because they are good for a specific situation or a particular subset. The Baby Bjorn One definitely fitsContinueContinue reading "Baby Bjorn One Review"
Beco 8 Review
In many ways the Beco 8 is the Beco Gemini's big brother. The Beco 8 shares so many of the features that I love about the Gemini.

This combination is rare in the carrier world, but isContinueContinue reading "Beco 8 Review"
Connecta Review
The first time I ever saw a Connecta my first thought was "I bet that's uncomfortable".

Boba X review
Adjustability and longevity - if I had to describe this carrier in just two words they would be it, because this carrier has both in spades. Many carriers on the market advertise birth till 4, but few actually really cover that whole range. The Boba X is probably one of the very few that reallyContinueContinue reading "Boba X review"

Carrying your baby is such a personal thing – people carry for different reasons and different carriers suit different people. Here is Fiona’s story…. "My baby wearing journey resulted mainly from living in a flat above a city center restaurant.
