The Love & Carry ONE+ Cool is a really smart carrier. It has all the amazing features of the standard Love And Carry ONE+ Baby Carrier with an added extra - the main panel can be rolled down and neatly tucked away to reveal a mesh panel, to help keep you both cool on hot days, or if you or your little one run warm, it’s ideal to help you keep cool whatever the weather.

So let's dive in a take a look at the main features of this baby carrier:

• For babies 0-24 months, weighing 3.5 to 15 kgs.
• Made from 100% cotton.
• Fully adjustable width and height of the back panel.
• Keeps the baby's hips in an ergonomic position - the M-position.

So summer is finally here! Summer is fun, I love summer; although having said that, anything over 20C I find a bit melty. And that's even before I start babywearing! But there's nothing better than being out in the sunshine with your wee one in a sling, chatting away and having fun together, pointing out the sights and sounds.

It goes without saying that it can take a little bit of extra thought and effort when babywearing in summer, and choosing the right baby carrier can make all the difference.

What To Wear When Babywearing - Spring Edition

Spring is a wonderful, beautiful time of year. The days feel longer, the sky is bluer, the grass is greener; there’s a sense of renewal and hope for the days ahead.

Then there’s the rain and wind and sometimes hailstones. Spring is the time of the four-seasons-in-one-day-thing, also known as the four-seasons-in-one-hour thing. That’s why we’ve included the Warm Weather & Cold Weather Carrying Infographics - both can apply at this time of year!

It can take a little bit of extra thought and effort when babywearing in summer, and choosing the right baby carrier can make all the difference. Baby carriers that work well in summer / warmer weather fall into 2 categories, generally speaking:

• those that are lighter / less structured, and therefore naturally cooler in themselves, and;
• those that have been specifically designed for babywearing in warmer weather (using a mesh fabric for the main panel, for example).

A really good buckle carrier (also known as a soft-structured carrier) will allow you to carry your little one in such a way as to be respectful of their physiology.
