The Wilkinet Baby Carrier adapts to the changing needs of you and your baby.
It gently cocoons a tiny 2.5kg (5lbs) newborn yet is strong enough to carry
chunky toddlers! You can use the Wilkinet to carry your baby facing in on the
front, facing out on the front (usually not before 3 months/6½-7kg/13–14lbs)
on the hip and on the back. Supplied with standard length straps - should you require longer
straps (clothes size 20 upwards) please email
us.
A high quality twill weave cloth and a good choice for hot climates.
Some of the advantages of choosing the Wilkinet:
1. The Wilkinet holds your baby onto and against your upper body. Your baby’s
weight is drawn towards you rather than pulling away from you
2. The Wilkinet works like a wraparound shawl but without the parent being
engulfed in wide bands of cloth. Buckle fastened carriers tend to ride up the
parent’s back as the weight of the baby, which is suspended through leg-holes
and hanging off parent’s shoulders, drags downwards. This causes pain
across parent’s upper back and neck and can result in the parent instinctively
using their arms to support baby’s weight to relieve the discomfort.
3. Wide well-padded shoulder straps and unique wraparound method of tying.
Ensures evenly distributed weight with no dragging on your neck, shoulders or
back.
4. Cushioned head, back and leg support for your baby. In the early weeks
when you carry your baby facing in on the front the Wilkinet will cuddle your
new baby snugly and firmly, supporting under its bottom and thighs, and providing
support for his/her back and head as if being held in your arms.
5. No rings, zips, clips or buckles. Nothing to break and render your Wilkinet
useless.
