Our buttery soft Hemp has been organically farmed in the foothills of the Himalayas in Nepal. It has been processed by hand into fiber and then hand woven on traditional looms supporting these remote communities.
They are then naturally dyed using plant and vegetable dyes.
It is VERY easy to secure the Snap carrier on your own. I've even managed to do it one handed!
The buckles secure at the front of the carrier so there is no awkward reaching behind your back to secure buckles you cannot reach. The buckles also fit into the palm of your hand making it very simple to secure and disconnect without needing extra support.
Can I face my baby forward?
No. This style of carrier does not support forward facing carry.
There are many reasons we do not recommend forward facing carry:
Overwhelming for a young baby
Difficult to respond to and monitor your child
There is very little hip support for their delicate joints
No head or neck support
Extra pressure on baby & wearers spine
Please readour article which explains this more in detail.
What if my baby wants to see the world?
Hip Carry is the perfect alternative to forward facing carry.
Babies hips are fully supported
Baby can see the world around them
Baby can come back into you when they are feeling overwhelmed
You can engage with and monitor your baby
Your child "helps" you carry by leaning in and supporting your posture
Hip Carry is a very easy carry position and feels very safe and secure.
And for babies over 6 months you can try Back carry which most children love!
How do I know when my baby is ready to use the Snap Baby Carrier?
Some babies are ready for the Snap Baby Carrier earlier than others.
The key thing you are looking for is full knee to knee support. You do not want the carrier seat panel to go beyond your babies knees forcing their little legs into the air. There should always be a natural bend at your child's knee.
Can I Breastfeed my baby in the Baby Carrier?
Absolutely! And we encourage you doing so.
Simply loosen the straps to drop bub down to your breasts, shift the waistband slightly to the side you are feeding on and you are now hands free feeding!
Does it get hot wearing the Zarpar Bebe Baby Carrier?
Our Baby Carriers have been made using 100% linen which we chose partly due to its breathability and absorbency. Linen remains cool to the touch and it also absorbs a fair amount of water before actually feeling damp, ensuring you don't get too sticky.
The carrier is also very lightweight and there is no unnecessary bulk or layers.
Of course having your child attached to you during hot climates will make you warmer than usual, so it is important that you dress accordingly. You can read our tips to summer babywearing here.
How do I wash my baby carrier?
Simply put it in the washing machine!
And due to the natural fabrics, it means drying is very fast so you wont be without your carrier for long!
