The Patapum Baby Carrier has undergone numerous design modifications and vigorous testing before releasing the product you see here. Functional, comfortable and stylish. The Patapum Baby Carrier has it all!

Strong plastic locking clips and buckles ensure your baby remains safe at all times allowing you the freedom to continue with your busy life.

Pikkolo Baby Carrier

The pikkolo is a mei tai inspired carrier with the convenience of side-release buckle closures. Additionally, pikkolo's unstructured waist makes it possible to cinch the carrier narrower to enable small babies to ride legs-out or older infants to face forward comfortably. All buckles adjust both ways for an optimal fit. Use pikkolo:

front facing in or out

on your hip

on your back

with babies and toddlers 8 lbs. up to 40 lbs.

with your detachable sleeping hood (included with purchase) when your little one's head gets floppy

ERGOBaby Carrier

The ERGObaby Carrier has undergone extensive testing by tens of thousands of parents. Its innovative design makes wearing your baby comfortable for hours at a time, gives you the freedom to remain active and productive in your daily life, and holds your baby secure to your body so your hands are free.

The ERGObaby carrier's ergonomic design supports a correct sitting position for the baby's hip, pelvis and spine growth. It disperses most of the baby's weight between the hips and thighs, which helps to eliminate compression of the spine when hanging by the crotch which most other designs require. The ERGObaby also balances the baby's weight to parents' hips and shoulders, and alleviates physical stress for the parent.

Can be worn on the back, the front or the hip.

Ellaroo Mei Hip

The Ellaroo Mei Hip Baby Carrier is the most innovative baby carrier to hit the market in years. The Mei Hip was the first hip carrier available with a shoulder strap that cups the shoulder, rather than riding up toward the wearer's neck. Add the supportive waist strap, and you have a very practical, comfortable baby carrier.

Karen Baker developed the Mei Hip in a search for the perfect hip carrier. Her solution has allowed even those with neck and back problems to wear their babies and toddlers comfortably on the hip.

Easy-on buckles at the shoulder and waist (optional, included)
Reversible (for solid color and "leftie" position)
100% certified organic cotton fabric

Designed for comfortable use from head control to 35 lbs.

Reversible, 100% certified organic cotton, with recycled polyester batting (made from soda bottles).

Made in India.

Baby can be moved toward the back for short periods, just as with a ring sling.

The wide shoulder strap spreads baby's weight over a wide area, eliminating pressure points.
