Stretchy Wraps
Stretchy wraps are, in our opinion, a great introduction to babywearing for parents with newborn babies. Soft and comfortable with no buckles they mould perfectly to the shape of baby and parent. You can leave the wrap tied while popping baby in and out, making nappy changes quicker and eliminating that 'wrapping in public' fear.
Mei Tais & Asian Style Carriers
Based on a traditional Chinese baby carrier, Mei Tais consist of a piece of fabric - rectangular or shaped to make it more ergonomical. Fabric straps are attached to each corner - the bottom two to tie at the waist and the top two go over the wearer's shoulders, cross across the body and tie underneath baby's bottom.
They have become more modern over time and can either be 'half-buckle' (buckled waist and tied shoulders) or 'full-buckle' (buckled waist and shoulder straps).

Soft Structured Carriers
The modern style Asian Carrier, fully adjustable and fastened with buckles. Their biggest plus is the speed with which they can be put on and taken off. Can be used on the wearer's front, hip or back.
Ring Slings
A ring sling consists of a length of fabric with two rings sewn into one end. The other end of the fabric is threaded through the rings to form an adjustable buckle. The sling then sits on one shoulder and baby sits or lies in the resulting pouch. Ring slings are quick to put on and take off and will adjust easily to different-sized wearers.
Woven Wraps
A length of material with a slight diagonal stretch, allowing you to wrap your child onto your front, back or hip. Available in several sizes and many beautiful designs and fabrics - from 100% cotton to silk or cashmere blends. These carriers are not as scary as they look and are excellent for comfortably carrying your child from newborn up to the age of four years.
