The carrier that doesn't look like a baby carrier.

Your baby settles against your chest. Your hands come back. The walk gets longer, the coffee stays hot, and you still look like you.

Three ergonomic carry positions, from newborn to toddler. Lightweight, breathable natural fibres, a structured waistband for even weight distribution, and an adjustable seat that grows with them.

All the comfort is built in. All you feel is them.

90% Cotton | 10% Natural Linen

Fit & Details+

One carrier, adjusted to both of you.

  • Adjusts to you. A fully adjustable waistbelt strap and crossable shoulder straps. One size, worn comfortably by petite and plus-size parents, and quick to swap between you and your partner.
  • Adjusts to your baby. A velcro square on each side of the panel slides along a strip inside the waistbelt, widening the seat smoothly as they grow, with buttoned thigh support under each leg.
  • Weight on your hips. The structured waistband and straps spread the load, not your shoulders.
  • Neck support. Folds up for newborns and naps, buttons flat for facing out.
  • Grows with them. Newborn to toddler, 7–35 lb (3.2–16 kg), and there is no infant insert to buy separately.
Carry Positions+

Three positions that grow with your baby.

  • Front inward from newborn, for closeness and bonding, with the velcro seat narrowed to fit them and the neck support folded up behind their head
  • Front outward once your baby has strong head control, roughly 13–22 lb (5.9–10 kg) and awake only, with the velcro seat slid fully out to its widest, the thigh support buttoned low and the neck support folded down and buttoned flat on the outside of the panel
  • Back carry from around 6 months, once your baby can sit unaided, with the velcro seat at least mid-width

Keep your baby high and snug, close enough to kiss, with their knees higher than their bottom.

Customer Reviews

Overall rating: 4.9 / 5 from 45 reviews.

This should cost more!! I bought this carrier instead of the other brand that sells the same one and its honestly better! My friend has the other brands which is more expensive and this one is much nicer, It has matching coloured straps where as my friends doesn't. Highly recommend, I was skeptical but it should be 5x times the price!

Baby Carrier - Neutral Houndstooth

Bought this as a gift. The recipient liked the colour, but I have not used it myself so cannot say much more.

Baby Carrier - Oatmeal Houndstooth

I kept talking myself out of buying another baby thing. Have actually used this on several outings already, so I am happy I finally ordered it.

Baby Carrier - Oatmeal Houndstooth

Pleased with how it looks and feels out of the box. Still waiting for our little one, so this is only a first impression!

Baby Carrier - Oatmeal Houndstooth

In love with this carrier! So easy to use and everyone asks me where I got it from. I will be buying the brown colour next!

Baby Carrier - Neutral Houndstooth

Love the colour. The instructions could be a bit clearer though, particularly the close-ups of where to adjust things. Once set up I was happy with it.

Baby Carrier - Oatmeal Houndstooth

First time buying a carrier so I had absolutely no idea what I was doing. Practised with my partner there and got the hang of the adjustments. Much less daunting now!

Baby Carrier - Oatmeal Houndstooth

We have a busy little household and getting outside sometimes feels like a project. Being able to head out for a simple walk with this has been really nice.

Baby Carrier - Oatmeal Houndstooth

The oatmeal is warmer than I expected from my screen. Still a nice colour, just different to what I had pictured.

Baby Carrier - Oatmeal Houndstooth

The oatmeal is such a nice colour. Was worried it would be too pale against my clothes but I actually love it.

Baby Carrier - Oatmeal Houndstooth

I was given a few baby things that never left the cupboard so I held off buying anything else. This has actually been getting used, which is the biggest compliment I can give it.

Baby Carrier - Oatmeal Houndstooth

I like a neutral but did not want something completely plain. The oatmeal print is a nice middle ground for me.

Baby Carrier - Oatmeal Houndstooth

Took a moment to get everything adjusted but I am happy with how it feels now. I would definitely allow yourself a bit of time on the first go.

Baby Carrier - Oatmeal Houndstooth

We live upstairs and sometimes I just cannot be bothered with the whole pram situation for a ten minute errand. This has been handy on those days.

Baby Carrier - Oatmeal Houndstooth

I thought I would save this for going out but it lives by the front door now. We use it for our little loop around the block most mornings.

Baby Carrier - Oatmeal Houndstooth

My sister helped me choose the oatmeal and it was the right call. Works with pretty much everything I wear.

Baby Carrier - Oatmeal Houndstooth

Pretty design and useful for short trips. I needed help with my first go and would have appreciated a really simple beginner video.

Baby Carrier - Oatmeal Houndstooth

I leave it next to the nappy bag now so I remember to take it. It is good to have the choice when we get somewhere.

Baby Carrier - Oatmeal Houndstooth

Really comfortable on our morning walks. Once I adjusted the straps, it sat nicely on me and bub seemed happy too. Pleased with the fit.

Baby Carrier - Oatmeal Houndstooth

We usually take the pram as well when we are out for a while. I like having this as an option rather than trying to make one thing work for every outing.

Baby Carrier - Oatmeal Houndstooth

Our favourite thing to do lately is a walk before my partner starts work. I take baby, he takes the dog. Such a nice start to the day.

Baby Carrier - Oatmeal Houndstooth

Getting ready was slow the first time. Second time was easier, third time I felt like I knew what I was doing. Glad I gave myself a chance to learn it.

Baby Carrier - Oatmeal Houndstooth

Mum and I chose the oatmeal together as a baby shower present for my sister. She was thrilled when she opened it. Cannot comment on using it yet, but it made a lovely gift.

Baby Carrier - Oatmeal Houndstooth

Bought this thinking mostly about weekend outings. Turns out I use it just as much during the week when it is only me and baby.

Baby Carrier - Oatmeal Houndstooth

Brought it along when we visited my parents. Ended up using it to walk down to their local park together. A lovely afternoon.

Baby Carrier - Oatmeal Houndstooth

We both like wearing it but changing the fit between me and my partner takes a minute. Worth knowing if you plan to share it a lot.

Baby Carrier - Oatmeal Houndstooth

I wanted something for those days when we just need a change of scenery. A little walk, some fresh air, back home. This has fitted into that routine really well.

Baby Carrier - Oatmeal Houndstooth

My partner picked this shade and I was leaning towards the darker one. Have to admit he chose well.

Baby Carrier - Oatmeal Houndstooth

Would buy again in a heartbeat The fabric feels premium, and it’s obvious a lot of thought went into the design. My newborn feels snug and secure, and I feel confident wearing her anywhere.

Questions, answered

Will it fit me, and my partner?+

Yes. It is one size, and it adjusts rather than assumes. The waistbelt is a fully adjustable strap and the shoulder straps adjust and cross over, so it sits well on petite and plus-size frames alike. Everything loosens and tightens in seconds, so it moves easily between two people of different sizes. As one reviewer puts it, “Super easy to adjust, and my husband uses it too.” If you would like a hand with the fit, email us at theteam@wyldbub.com.

How does it adjust as my baby grows?+

The seat adjusts to your baby, not only to you. A velcro square on each side of the carrier body sits on a long strip inside the waistbelt. Lift each square, slide it outward as your baby grows, and press it firmly back down, adjusting both sides evenly. The adjustment is continuous, from narrow for newborns from 7 lb (3.2 kg) out to its widest for facing forward. The thigh support buttons on the front panel keep them supported under each leg at every stage, and the neck support folds up or down. It carries from newborn to toddler, 7 to 35 lb (3.2 to 16 kg), with nothing extra to buy.

Is it comfortable for long carries?+

Comfort is the thing parents mention most. The structured waistband and shoulder straps spread your baby's weight across your shoulders, back and hips instead of hanging it from your neck. One reviewer with a 9 kg baby says: “this carrier distributes the weight evenly across my back and hips. No more sore shoulders!” And for your baby, the adjustable seat and soft natural weave keep them settled. “My little one always falls asleep in it!”

Do I need to buy an infant insert for a newborn?+

No. Many carriers make you buy a separate padded insert to carry a newborn safely. This one does not. It supports newborns from 7 lb (3.2 kg) in the front inward position straight out of the box. Narrow the velcro seat to fit your newborn, fold the neck support up behind their head, and slide the seat wider little by little as your baby grows.

What is the fold-over panel at the top?+

That is the neck and head support. Folded up, it cradles a newborn's head and steadies a sleeping baby on the move. When your baby rides facing out, fold it down and fasten it flat with the button on the outside of the panel.

When can my baby face outward?+

Only once your baby can hold their head up on their own and weighs roughly 13 to 22 lb (5.9 to 10 kg), with their face clearly visible above the top of the panel, and only while they are awake. Slide the velcro seat fully out to its widest and button the thigh support to the lower buttons on the front panel, so your baby is still supported under each leg before you turn them to face outward.

Can I breastfeed while babywearing?+

Yes. Loosen the shoulder straps and lower the waistband slightly to bring your baby to feeding height, without taking the carrier off. When you finish, return your baby to the high, close-enough-to-kiss position with their face clear of fabric and their chin off their chest. Most parents find it takes a little practice, then becomes second nature.

Will my baby get too hot in it?+

The shell is woven from natural cotton and linen fibres with no synthetic outer, so it breathes better than padded polyester carriers. “This carrier stays cool thanks to the linen blend,” as one reviewer says. In warm weather, dress your baby in one light layer, keep their face clear, and check their temperature as you go.

What if it isn't right for us?+

You have 30 days from the day it arrives. If it is not right for you or your baby, send it back and we will credit the full price to spend on anything at Wyld Bub. Return postage is covered by you. Email theteam@wyldbub.com and we will look after the rest.
