This week we're taking a look at the amazing Mamalila Babywearing Jacket - it's easy to see why it's so popular! Great to use from pregnancy, front and back carrying and even a stylish coat when you are no longer carrying!

The Mamalila Softshell Babywearing Jacket is an absolute favourite (read the reviews!). The light flexible fabric with its soft fleece inner membrane moves with mum and baby, keeping wind and rain out, while regulating temperatures inside and preventing overheating.

The jacket includes a babywearing insert and a pregnancy insert which can be quickly zipped into the jacket allowing it to be easily adapted from a classic form-fitting woman’s jacket into a maternity or babywearing jacket.

What a carrier! My first impression when I first opened the Love and Carry One Plus baby carrier was that how light and compact it was, even down to the lightweight buckles.

The whole carrier is well made and so amazingly but at the same time isn't overwhelming. The padding is a lovely thickness without being overly bulky, and the shoulder strap padding seems longer than other carriers.

For smaller babies it adjusts down without creating too much bulk around baby and feels very comfortable on. The waistband is easy to adjust to the size you need for baby, and the height cinches down with two straps at the top of the panel. The straps buckle underneath

This week we look at the new and exclusive Love and Carry one +, which is our sling of the month - you can save 10% during October 2020.

This week we look at the Marsupi Baby Carrier. This is a great option if you have mobility problems with your hands or wrists, or issues with buckles and ties.
