Wide Straps: Comfort of a Wrap, Convenience of a Mei Tai

The hourglass shape to the body reduces bulk and increases air flow and comfort. Smaller babies often find the narrower seat more comfortable for their little legs, while older babies don't feel as confined.

The fabric does not cup across the shoulder and upper arm like a traditional wrap, so there is no restriction of your arm movement. The straps taper back in at the tips to allow for easy tying.

An optional newborn pillow can be included -- a roll of padding is sewn into the curve of the headrest, making a neck cradle for sleeping babies. The top curve of the body can be flipped down for babies and toddlers who prefer to ride with their arms out of the carrier.

Napsacks can be worn as a front or a back carrier. Like a wrap, the wide straps can be comfortably and flatteringly crossed over your chest, or gathered and worn straight over each shoulder like a rucksack.

The upper straps are set at an angle slightly more vertical than 45 degrees, which allows you to snug the baby close to your chest. This provides longer and more weightless babywearing, with less strain on your back and shoulders.

There is a layer of sturdy canvas hidden inside the body panels for strength.

All fabrics, including silks and brocades, are machine washable.
