Coming soon: Instructions, benefits, Tips and frequently asked questions

Support for You and Your Baby

Our front baby carrier system is designed to carry baby in a natural position on your chest. Carrying your baby at the center of your body, rather than on the side, is better for your spine and hips. The weight is evenly distributed on both your hips. The carrier offers support in many ways:

How the shoulder Harness supports you

The Shoulder Harness clips in front at your chest like a vest, which is then adjusted quickly to a proper fit. Your baby will be carried in the right place against your chest. This will increase the support for your baby and also support your back by reducing the shift in your center of gravity. Much of your baby's weight will be distributed across your shoulders, and some will be taken on your chest as the carrier holds your baby close to you.

Clips at front for correct fit

Wide at shoulders

Pull crossover down with tab

The harness straps are wide and comfortable with the widest part at your shoulders. This distributes weight over a wider area and makes baby carrying more comfortable.

Support for Baby's Head

The Okkatots front baby carrier cradles your baby's head. Straps come over your baby's shoulders and attach to the pouch on either side of the baby's head, bringing the baby's head and body close to your body. This provides the following benefits :

The straps and pouch form a circle of support so that baby's head has lateral as well as back support and allows a young baby's head rest on the parent's chest.
This helps keep baby securely in the pouch if the parent bends to reach for an escaping toddler's arm
Holding your baby close also minimizes the shift in your center of gravity, reducing back strain.

When babies spend much of their time lying on their backs in cribs, car seats and strollers it can cause the back of baby's head to become flat. By carrying your baby, pressure is taken off the back off baby's head.

Add support using the Waistband

The new and unique Okkatots Waistband attaches to the carrier and shifts your baby's weight from your shoulders to your hips. It also brings your baby closer to your body's center of gravity.Thick wide pads distribute the weight evenly on your hips.

The waistband is great for those who carry a baby for longer periods of time, or when their baby gets too heavy for shoulders alone. The waistband also provides your baby with a wider seat, both when facing in towards you and when facing out.

The baby carrier can be used with or without the waistband. You choose the support you need.

How the Pouch Supports Your Baby

Babies grow fast in the first months of life. Keeping up with that growth can be a challenge. The Okkatots front baby carrier system has a separate fitted pouch that adjusts two ways to fit your growing baby. When contracted for a tiny baby there is even more support around your little one's back. Fingerlike folds wrap around your baby's back, increasing support. The Okkatots front baby carrier system is designed to give baby a wider seat than most popular types of carriers. As your baby grows, the seat expands with your baby. Straddling baby's legs as the pouch does is just fine for the health of your baby's hips.

Baby is fitted into the pouch before being attached to the harness. This means that you can give full attention to fitting your baby correctly before carrying. This is as easy as putting on a diaper. It breaks down the process of baby carrying into three easily doable steps: Fit Harness to you, fit Pouch to baby, clip Pouch to Harness.

When the pouch part of the Okkatots front baby carrier system is used in a shopping cart your baby is supported as the cart moves and turns. It's great for when your baby is learning to sit. The pouch also provides your baby with a padded seat and back.

Babies and little children should never be left unattended in a cart or on a chair

The Okkatots front Baby Carrier System is now available in both black and in tan.
