Pouch

A carrier sewn to your measurements

The pouch is very simple. You don’t need to learn anything. It is sewn to your measurements and requires no adjustment. It is very easy to put the baby in and take it out — it only takes a few seconds.

It is fantastic for short trips (to the bakery, to the kiosk), or for when the baby is at the age where it starts walking and wants to be up one minute and down the next (and doesn’t know what it wants!).

It is suitable for breastfeeding (although perhaps not entirely hands-free) and offers many baby positions: for newborns, front, on the side, on the back. You can see detailed instructions on how to use your pouch here.

Like all carriers that use one shoulder, they let you leave your baby asleep in its cot without having to wake it up or take it out of the pouch.
It distributes the weight using just one shoulder.

It can be tiring for very long trips or for a very heavy child (who doesn’t want to go up and down, but wants to be up all the time!).

The right size is important and it may be a little difficult to find your size without trying it on (as the pouch is sewn to the measurements of the person who will wear it and does not adjust). For the same reason it is difficult for both parents to use the same pouch.

It doesn’t have the flexibility of the ring sling that would allow you to position the baby as high or as low as suits you, since this depends on the size of your pouch.
