Beluga Cove Baby Carrier – Forest

Meet the Beluga Cove in Forest, a buckle carrier that its maker also calls the Beluga Buckle. It holds your baby or toddler close and keeps your hands free for everything else. A hood with a zippered hood pocket is included, and its longer straps help you pull it over your child in a back carry.

It is the comfiest carrier. It offers the ultimate in breathability. The curved straps alleviate shoulder pressure points and back pain. The deep seat is ergonomically correct for babies young and old. It gives a feeling of weightlessness. It comforts and calms your baby or toddler.

Its fabric is 55% hemp and 45% organic cotton, breathable, soft and thin, yet supportive. It is handmade in Canada, locally in Vancouver, by technicians earning a living wage. Tested by women from size 0 (XXS) to size 22/24 (XXXL), it has a waistband that extends from 26 to 52 inches. Curved shoulder straps follow your shape and share your child's weight evenly; they adjust in two directions, and fit adjustment straps on the shoulder panels refine the fit. The pleated seat is deep and adjusts in width to support your child knee to knee, while leg padding keeps the backs of the knees from chafing. Denser waistband padding holds its shape over time, reinforced rails stop the chest and back clip from sliding, and the straps are beige. Certified hip healthy by the International Hip Dysplasia Institute, it comes from a mama-run business.

It suits babies and children from 7 to 50 pounds, from newborn to about four years. Wear it on your front or hip, and use the back carry only once your child can sit unassisted.
