Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)


Babywearing / Toddlerwearing

Which is the best Baby Carrier?

This is a very common question. However, there is NO best baby carrier, there is only safe or unsafe carrier in the marketplace.

Overtime you will know.. Everyone’s body build, muscles strength, budget, lifestyle needs, preferences and expectations of a baby carrier can be very different.

There is no specific brand or type to satisfy everyone's pleasure but there will definitely be one best option for each individual. Be it the fit, matching features such as material to preference, expectation of the ease of use etc.

You can only find out after you trying it on with the recommended adjustments!

Is a tryout / trial important?

Absolutely! It is advisable to trial before any purchase so you can get a feel of the carrier you are eyeing on and understand whether the carrier matches your expectations afterall.

We have witnessed too many parents spending thousands of dollars over non ergonomic carriers or options that are unsafe or causes them unnecessary aches. 

Is rental the only way for tryout?

No, Babywearing Workshops will be conducted once a month or on alternate months depending on schedule of the certified babywearing consultant.
Workshops include teaching the safety and benefits of babywearing; an overview and demonstration of Slings, Wraps, Meh Dai and the full range of Soft Structured Carriers (type, structure, material, pros and cons).
Practical hands on session will be allowed and even strongly encouraged.
The entire session may take up to 2 hours. Do follow our Facebook & Instagram pages for events update.

I am confused with too many options. Can you help?

All recommendations that are offered face to face are personalised and non-biased. If you wish to arrange for this 1 to 1 session, you may arrange with us here.

Rentals of Carrier / Item

How long should I rent a carrier / item for?

Duration of rent is depending on your needs and wants.

Baby Carriers & Items

You can rent for a week or two rather than taking a risk to purchase on impulse and see whether baby fits well and wearer is comfortable.

Our minimum rental duration is a 5 days period. Purpose is to ensure you get sufficient time to test out a carrier or use an item over longer hours or even over a few days to test out the suitability, supportiveness and fit.

Benefits of rental includes the reduction of chance having white elephants at home and it definitely will also increase the confidence of wearer as professional guidance will be provided if you have any questions during the rent. 

Holiday Concerns

You may rent our carrier/ items for holiday use too. However, if you’re opting to check in during flight, we encourage you to add on a dustbag/ stroller backpack or ask staff to label item properly to indicate “Fragile” to ensure maximum protection of rented item.

You may also have to count in a day before and after your flight to give yourself enough buffer time for collection/ return in case of flight delays or unforeseen factors affecting return.

Are carriers/items that rented clean and safe for children use? 

Yes. Safety and Hygiene of carriers and items are our important quality assurance.

Each carrier and item is washed thoroughly after every rent. We let it dry well and be adequately sanitised before handing over to the next rentee.

That is also why late return fee has to be charged on per day basis due to our potential back to back rental of item, especially during MOE designated school holidays.

More information about late return fee can be found in our Rental Terms & Conditions page.

Consultation & Fittings 

Is trying on the spot in your home office ideal?

Yes and no.

Yes because you can feel the material on each and roughly get an idea of whether the structure of carrier is what you are looking for.

No because baby may fuss on the spot and leave you wondering whether baby is really comfortable in the carrier you have chosen.

Most of the times, baby fuss due to fear (first time in a carrier) and discomfort (diapers not changed, hunger not satisfied, cranky due to sleepiness, warm weather or incorrect positioning) rather than a direct answer to you that they are rejecting the carrier.

At times you may also be misled, even if baby sleeps on the spot in the carrier, it assures you greatly, but after you bought the carrier home, you experience a tough time!

Of course, having a certified babywearing consultant to guide, explain and impart skillset to you and help you with adjustments is surely a plus point. Not forgetting lifetime support after every purchase!

During rental, or after a purchase, you will be entitled to contact educator directly for lifetime support* in regards to the best fit even as child grows over the years.

How much is it to engage a Babywearing Educator?

In regards to charges, kindly refer to product listing or our Terms and Conditions for more details.

Should I try the baby carriers during my pregnancy?

Prenatal is a good season to start learning and exploring. You do not need to buy or rent one right away but you can expand your scope of learning on the type of category, the differences of features/material/brands/adjustability and how it roughly feel with our weighted doll (about 5kg) for an idea first. It is also the time to learn tips and keep that in mind before the after-birth experience overwhelms you.

After you gave birth, fitting your newborn with the choices that has been narrowed down will be very beneficial and learning of skillset will include care of infant while in carrier too. That is also when you put Babywearing skills learnt during pregnancy into practice. Be equipped beforehand can prevent confusion and reduce stress during post natal period.

Note: For special needs babies, please indicate medical condition at the time of booking so that we can assist you optimally.

Do I need to make an appointment before coming down?

Yes, please. We do not accept walk-ins and appointments are strictly according to available time slots.

Yes, delivery can be arranged right to your doorstep and it will be charged accordingly (stated in T&Cs). We have a regular delivery vendor to assist us in the efficiency of the delivery of rental / purchased products.

If I opt for courier, how would I know if I wore my child correctly? 

Generally, if the carrier you chose has an official video link, it will be sent via private message upon request.

Otherwise, if you are unsure, you can seek advice by taking photos of how you wear your child from the front, side and back, then privately message us through any of our communication channel. Online support will be in the rental / purchase package at no extra charge*.
