The best baby carrier for hiking and walking

The best baby carrier for hiking and walking

Here are the top 3 reasons that users think the Carifit+ is the ultimate baby carrier for parents who love walking and hiking.

1. No clips or buckles behind you meaning your rucksack or day bag will sit perfectly comfortably on your back.

2. Posture+ technology designed to make your baby feel lighter so it is perfect for long adventures babywearing.

3. Lightweight, breathable sports tech fabric meaning you and your baby stay cool, even when you are working hard up those hills.

The Carifit+ is designed for active parents and was initially created for Carifit babywearing workouts, the happy accident of creating the worlds first athleisure baby carrier is that parents who love to hike and walk have been rapidly adopting the Carifit+ as the ultimate companion on their babyweraing adventures.

So let's take a deeper look at what makes the Carifit+ baby carrier such an incredible baby carrier for parents who want to go exploring with their baby safe, comfortable and connected.

Posture+ Technology.

The Carifit+ is the only baby carrier in the world with Posture+ technology. Designed by a team of sports science experts it's Patented design means that your baby will literally feel lighter when worn in the Carifit+. 

This is obviously a huge advantage if you are taking on a challenging hike but it also a key part of supporting postnatal recovery for new mums. By spreading babies weight more evenly, without any pull on the shoulders or lower back, we can access more muscle and move with more ease, comfort and confidence.

It is a big part of the reason why physios often recommend the Carifit+ as the best baby carrier for parents suffering with back pain, you can learn more here.

Lightweight And Low Profile

Most baby carriers create "comfort" through padding, creating big bulky straps and taking up a lot of shoulder space. The Carifit+ is laser cut from a single pre-stitched panel and therefore has no need for bulking inserts. In fact the Carifit+ sits totally flat to the wearers body. This means two key things when it comes to supporting the wearer. Firstly there is no slip or drift, once the carrier is in position it stays put "it doesn't move - so you can". Secondly if you are wearing a rucksack or day pack then you aren't stacking padded straps on top of more padded straps, this is a comfort win in the extreme!

Connected And Balanced

In the Carifit+ thanks to our incredible fabric technology your baby feels truly connected to you. There is no slumping, slipping or drifting for your baby in the carrier unlike some other carrier brands that have fixed panel sizes. This means that you the wearer will feel more balanced and confident when navigating more challenging routes, opening up a world of possibilities.

Quick And Easy

The Carifit+ goes on T-shirt style and our users love it once they get used to the massive comfort and fit benefits that this fitting method brings. It also means that there are no hard to reach clips or buckles that are out of sight or digging into your back once you pair your baby carrier with a rucksack.

Adaptive Sizing

The Carifit+ is performance wear and as such it fits a range of babies and a range of wearers effortlessly. With a baby weight range from 7lbs to 45lbs whether you are exploring with your newborn or needing to keep moving with a tiring toddler, the Carifit+ has both you and your back supported.

With easy to adjust wearer side straps the Carifit+ can also easily be shared mid hike, so you can both enjoy some incredible bonding, connection and adventures with your baby.

The Ultimate Dog Walking Baby Carrier

One of the most common use cases we see for Carifit+ wearers is walking their four legged friends. So whether it is a quick walk round the block or a romp somewhere more challenging and adventurous, being able to quickly and easily pop your baby into your Carifit+ and then be hands free is a game changer. Whether you need to hold a lead, throw a stick or a ball or hold hands with an older child a babywearing dog walk keeps the whole family happy, active and having everyone's needs met. We've even built in a handy little pocket that you can fill with poo bags or a spare nappy...!

Get Moving Sooner.

Most metal framed baby carriers ("hiking carriers") are only suitable from 6 months plus in terms of babies age but in truth most only really become suitable from 12 months plus and are deigned for much bigger and stronger babies. But you will want to explore and walk and hike way before your babies first birthday. So the Carifit+ is the best choice you can make, and means that you don't need to wait to start exploring the world together in safety and comfort.

Breathable And Planet Friendly

The Carifit+ is a mesh carrier, so it is cool, has amazing airflow and means that you and your baby will stay in control temperature wise, allowing you to appropriately layer for the conditions your adventure require. Plus, if you love the great outdoors you probably have great respect for taking care of the incredible environments that you explore together. The Carifit+ is created from a super soft, fully recycled yarn which takes 30 post consumer plastic bottles to create and is certified to the global recycled standard. Again like much modern sportwear and sports footwear the Carifit+ is created to feel good, look good and do good.

Benefits To Your Babies Body And Brain

You might be looking forward to hitting your favourite climb or trail with your baby for your own reasons, be they physical or mental, you probably know just how beneficial a walk can be for you. But did you know that walking with your baby connected to you through nature has some massive benefits for your babies developing brain and body as well.
