Description

A great baby carrier makes a huge difference, but what works for one family might not work for another. Lillebaby’s Complete Original carrier offers versatility above all. It has six different carrying positions to accommodate your baby’s different stages and needs, from newborn to 45 pounds. (Note that the carrier won’t work for preemies, as the minimum weight is 7 pounds. But because of its high weight limit, it’s a great carrier for toddlers.)

You can wear your baby on your front in three positions: newborns use the fetal position, with arms and legs tucked in; for infants under 6 months, the seat adjusts to a narrower setting so legs can be out but hips are still properly supported; babies 6 months and older use a wider seat setting, with legs wrapping around your body. Unlike the ErgoBaby Original Carrier, you don’t need an extra newborn insert for the Lillebaby carrier. Toddlers six months and up can also ride on your front facing out, on your hip or on your back.

Your baby’s hips are well supported and positioned in all carry modes, earning the carrier the International Hip Dysplasia Institute’s seal of approval. Adjustable seat and leg openings facilitate proper hip support, frog-leg seating, and curved C-spine position. There’s a padded, adjustable head support to secure your little one’s head and neck in comfort. A UPF 50+ sun hood provides sun protection and a cozy place to sleep.

For parents, the lumbar support and waist belt help to distribute your baby’s weight more evenly, providing stability and relieving back pressure. You can wear the straps backpack style or crossed like an X, and the padded straps have two-way adjusters, all features that help you get the perfect fit. The carrier is breastfeeding-friendly, and it has a zippered pocket to stash essentials and another for the hood.

The Lillebaby Complete Original is made of strong yet lightweight cotton and is machine washable (always an important consideration for baby gear).

Quality seems nice but such an ordeal to put on. You need to buy an insert for infants

Was hoping this carrier would work out.
2 stars off for functionality and outdated illustrated instructions on how to adjust the seating and straps of the carrier. I bought this hoping a toddler would enjoy the back carry position; she did not. I followed the products toutorial on how to strap a baby safely on my back and it was extremely stressful. The strap would tangle and it took up a lot of my energy to hold the baby in place and, unsuccessfully, put on the straps (like you would with a back pack). Additionally the instructions were hard to follow. Returning this item.

I love it
I just had my second baby and have been experiencing back pain with my current baby carrier so I did some research and purchased this one . Things I love - lumbar support , being able to use up til two years of age ! And multiple ways of wear . I’ve only been using it for a week and I love it so far and so does my baby!

Favorite baby carrier EVER!!!
Not only is the desert leopard pattern adorable, this carrier overall is the best one I've ever used! Sad it took me until my 3rd (and last) baby to find that out! It's so comfortable to wear and so easy to put on and put the baby in solo!
