Baby Carriers
How to choose baby carriers
Decide between Baby Transport for a framed seat and Baby & Toddler for a wrap or sling with a small child.
Material choice trades breathability (cotton/linen) against easy care (polyester/cotton) and style (silk).
Colour picks split between light tones that mark easily and dark tones that warm in sun.
Think about storage: a rigid transport carrier needs a corner, a fabric sling rolls into a bag.
Fastening type matters: a ring sling adjusts quickly, a belt carrier spreads weight on your hips.
What's good
- Baby Transport carriers use aluminium frames to support a child on walks while keeping the load off your arms.
- Baby & Toddler slings in cotton or organic cotton keep a newborn close with breathable fabric.
- The range spans colours like black, grey, blue, pink, white, red, green, brown, so matching your wardrobe is simple.
- Cotton/spandex blends in the soft carrier group give stretch for a snug fit as a child grows.
- A denim or silk option in the toddler range offers a styled look that stands out from basic polyester.
Things to watch
- Baby Transport types with rigid frames take up more cupboard space than a folded cotton wrap.
- Silk or denim pieces from the Baby & Toddler set need careful spotting, unlike polyester/cotton mixes.
- Dark/grey or brown colours hide spills but draw in heat on a warm day out.
- White or pink shades show mud and milk marks, so they need washing more often.
- A ring sling without a frame gives less back support than a structured transport carrier for long distances.
Care & maintenance
Machine wash cotton and organic cotton slings on a cool setting, then air dry.
Wipe aluminium framed Baby Transport carriers with a wet cloth, avoiding full submersion.
Spot treat silk and denim items to keep their finish intact.
Check rings or belts on soft carriers for fraying before you head out.
