Coorie in with love

The NEW carrier 'Hold' by was released yesterday and im excited to show you it.

Some parts are similar to their other carriers but there are also new bits too.

The carrier is designed to be put on like a jacket first with a wraparound design. This gives a bit more space on your chest without straps right on your bust.

The newly designed buckles can be done with one hand which will make it easier for many.

The base is more mouldable and easy to adjust as baby grows without zips or straps.

There is a pocket in the waistband and ad added hidden sunshade in the shoulder strap.

The harmony is the most adjustable and longest lasting in the BB range.

This one is a lovely brushed cotton and much softer.
The harmony is one piece which makes it easier to get used to.

The zips at the bottom adjust the base depending on the size of baby supporting knee to knee.

I love the snaps on the flap allowing you to secure it down supporting to the back of the neck.

The harmony is available for hire as with other BB models.

The move is a more structured carrier with more of a back panel.

It's a step up from the mini with a wider base and more adjustability.

Be sure to adjust and set up the back panel and adjust to fit your body. You want the lumbar support in the correct place for support.

Take your time to bring baby into the carrier and allow them to settle to help with positioning.

Make sure to tighten all four straps either side of your body to have baby snug and supported.

Fold down and secure the flap so babys face and airways are clear and free.

Struggling with your mini?

Remember this is a simple narrow base carrier, it won't offer the 'M' position very long and has no waistband.

It's a popular carrier for those new to carrying and the first few months.

Let's help you get a better and safer fit.

The harness part adjusts to you, tightening it does nothing to the panel or baby.

Adjust the slider at the back to sit comfortably.

Adjust the height of the panel, you can try this first by lying it on the bed and putting baby on it.

Take your time settling baby in, this helps with the position and calms baby.

Secure the other clips and fold the flap. Babys ear must be clear at the top of the panel to be a safe fit.

You will hear a lot in groups and pages about how some carriers are not suitable for forward facing. But let's chat about why and explain.

🫣 Let's look at a carrier you have all seen, the and the fact they advertise the carrier is suitable for forward facing (but on their website they say it's not) 🚩

👎🏻When a carrier is not adjustable on the width of the panel, it makes it very wide to support forward facing. When tightened, the panel pulls baby's legs and hips apart which is not natural or comfortable. Especially with small developing hips.

✔️ So what are you looking for in a carrier that IS suitable?
You want a carrier that has buttons or sliders that makes the panel narrow in the middle.
Carriers like the Ergobaby or Tula explore offer this and many others.

👉🏻 There are also some carriers that have a narrow panel instead of adjustments, like the new Izmi carrier.

There are also some that have adaptors like the Artipoppe. But this only adjusts on the inside which doesn't offer a great position.

Babys airways are always our top priority when carrying. But sometimes babies can snuffle to one side and bury their head under the straps.

There is an easy fix though!

Imagine they are a wee puppet, you lift an arm and it will tilt their head the opposite way.

So gently lift the arm the side they are looking and lower the other. This will tilt their head up to ensure they have a free and clear airways.

You can also pop one of their hands under their chin.

Before this step thoigh always check the carrier is properly tightened so you have no excess slack.

Has this helped?
