Beluga Cove Baby Carrier – Santorini

The Beluga Cove, also called the Beluga Buckle, is a buckle carrier for babies and toddlers, shown here in Santorini. Your child rides close to you and your hands stay free. A hood, a zippered hood pocket and longer hood straps make the hood simpler to pull over your child when you carry on your back.

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.

It is handmade in Canada, locally in Vancouver, by technicians paid a living wage. The fit is size inclusive: it was tested by women from size 0 (XXS) to size 22/24 (XXXL), and the waistband extends from 26 to 52 inches. The curved shoulder straps hug your body, spread your child's weight evenly and adjust in two directions, with fit adjustment straps on the shoulder panels. A deep, pleated seat with adjustable width supports your child from knee to knee, and padded leg openings keep the backs of the knees from chafing. The waistband padding is denser so it holds its shape, the chest and back clip runs on reinforced rails to keep it from sliding, and the straps are beige. Certified hip healthy by the International Hip Dysplasia Institute, it comes from a mama-run business.

For babies and children from 7 to 50 pounds, from newborn to about four years. Carry on your front or hip, and on your back only once your child can sit unassisted.
