Wompat baby carriers are manufactured in Finland by handwork. The shoulder straps and waist bands are made of durable velvet or corduroy and the carrier body is made of firm cotton fabrics. Our standard collection include Girasol baby wrap fabrics. In addition to that we will offer some good quality fabrics from Finnish designers which will change every season.
The shoulder straps are wide and padded and they distribute the weight of the child evenly over your shoulders so no pressure points will occur. Wompat carrier has a soft padded and shaped waist band and this is why a great deal of your child's weight will be set on your hips instead of your shoulders. There are two pleats at the bottom of the carrier body and these create a pouch for your child's bottoms so that he/she will settle in an ergonomic frog-leg position easily.
We offer two sizes of Wompat carrier: the standard size is suitable for babies from about 4-6 months old and the toddler size for children over 1 year old. But of course you may also use the standard size for over 1 year olds – especially if your baby likes to keep her hands free. The panel of standard size carrier is 38 cm high and 42 cm wide at top. Toddler size is 45 cm high and 45 cm wide at the top of the panel. The lower part of the panel is narrower because of the pleats.
The waist and shoulder straps have two way adjustible buckles. The buckles and straps are made of durable and strong materials. The back side of the panel is made of nice feeling and strong cotton and we have also added an extra layer of cotton between the panel fabrics.
All Wompat carriers have a cute sleep hood which can be tied up. The hood supports your baby's head while sleeping and it will also give some privacy for the little one, if she feels overwhelmed. The sleep hood is handy when a bad weather catches you.
With Wompat baby carrier you can carry your baby on front belly to belly, on your back or on your hip. While carrying the baby on front, you may wear the carrier either with straight shoulder straps or you can cross the straps on your back.
