Connecta Baby Carrier


I'd been seeking out a new sling and researching thoroughly. After using a stretchy Close Caboo from birth, I wanted a more structured carrier which had buckles to support my growing boy. After searching online, I came across Connecta, they appeared to have a good standing in the world of Baby-wearing and with their vast waiting lists, they're very popular!

I'd fallen in love with the print of Zoology after seeing some local mums carrying their babies. I'm fairly new to babywearing, but I know a pretty print when I see one! We love African animals in our house, you could say that we're obsessed (we honeymooned in Kenya and are keen visitors to zoos in the UK!)

The print is beautiful and bright. As soon as it arrived, I couldn't resist testing it out. After reading the simple instructions, I chose a basic front carry. Isaac was snug and settled and I'm sure it had magic sleepy dust packaged with it, as he fell asleep almost instantly! Even my toddler, Noah had to have a turn. Although it's baby sized (toddler ones are available too) he's still petite and fit perfectly. I've not attempted a back carry yet, but will be trying this out in the future. It would be a good investment and a fantastic gift for new parents.

Whilst wearing the Connecta, I'm able to do jobs around the house, tend to both boys and multitask. It makes life so much easier.

The carrier is well made, with fantastic and accurate stitching and is quick and easy to put on. I think I'll be investing in some different designs too. I've also been researching the Solarweave; a fantastic carrier for sunshine holidays, as it has UV protection and is lightweight.

Connecta integras are priced from £62 and available from www.connectababycarrier.com/product-category/connecta-integra/in-stock/
