Choosing the right baby carrier
Here’s everything you need to know about baby carriers Becoming a new parent comes with an overwhelming number of unanswered questions – one of which is how to choose the right baby carrier. Keeping your little bundle of joy close to you while running errands, visiting the grandparents or doing chores around the house might seem like a far-fetched idea at first, but with a baby carrier, you don’t have to choose between doing one or the other. There is a huge selection of baby carriers to choose from – everything from smaller models best suited to newborn babies through to adaptable carriers which can be used even into the toddler years. With so many options, it can make deciding on which one to buy a little daunting – especially if you’re a first-time parent. Let’s take a look at different styles of carriers, as well as a few tips for how to pick the right one for you and your baby. Types of baby carriers Ring slings Ring slings are a well-known and versatile style of baby carrier. They’re made from a length of fabric threaded through two rings. Ring slings are worn on one shoulder, spreading widely across your back to create a pouch for baby to sit in. With some models, extra shoulder padding can be added for long-term wearing. Because a ring sling offers a variety of different carrying positions, it can be used from newborn through to toddlerhood. For young babies, it supports the ‘C-shape’ curve they’re born with. Once the sling has been adjusted to fit you and bubs, it’s a simple matter of popping baby in and out. Ring slings are a great introductory carrier for new parents because they’re easy to use and can be stored in your nappy bag. Soft-structured carriers This style of carrier is a favourite with parents because of how easy it is to use and adjust. The basic design is a front panel where baby will be ‘seated’, a waist strap and two padded shoulder straps – all of which can be adjusted and secured with buckles to achieve a comfortable fit. Soft-structured carriers can be used for front, hip and back carrying, from newborns to toddlers. They carry your baby in an ergonomic upright position (rather than a hammock or cradle position), evenly distributing his weight over both your shoulders. Many have additional head support for younger babies or integrated infant boosters which can be easily removed as your baby grows – like this Nuna Cudl Carrier. They’re not quite as snuggly as wraps and can take time to work out the most comfortable position, but they’re super-quick to pop on and provide fantastic support for long-term wearing. Wrap slings or carriers A wrap – like this Aura Baby Wrap – is one of the most comfortable baby carriers to wear. For young babies, the swaddle-like design mimics the feel of the womb. The design consists of a long piece of specially-woven fabric that is wrapped, tied and moulded to your body and baby. You can use it in lots of different styles – front, side or back, on one shoulder or two. Some wrap snugly around your chest to distribute weight and others are more like a backpack. Most will fit all sizes, shapes and ages of babes. You’ll need to learn how to wrap, but with a little practice and patience, you’ll have it mastered in no time. Tips for choosing a baby carrier Baby carriers come in a wide variety of styles and features. Whatever carrier you choose, follow the usage instructions and safety advice in the manual, and always monitor baby when in the carrier to ensure proper airflow is maintained. When shopping for a baby carrier, here are some things you should consider: Longevity As your baby grows, your carrier will need changing features. Newborns like to snuggle in close with their head on your chest; toddlers want to see the world! Most carriers come with generous age and size ranges but it's essential to choose a carrier designed to fit your baby's size and age. Some parents opt for two carriers and others look for an alternative that can adjust to different ages. Fit and comfort One of the most important factors of a baby carrier is how well it fits. You want one that fits your newborn well and supports her safely. This means you’ll need to factor in weight, height, physiology and build. It should also be comfortable for both you and your baby. The seat of any carrier should allow your baby’s legs to be in the hip-healthy ‘M’ position. For you, think about how much back and shoulder support you’ll need for long-term wearing comfort. Most carriers are one-size-fits-most, can be easily adjusted and shared between parents. Other options come in different size ranges. Ease of use Regardless of what type of carrier you buy, it may take a little practice before using one becomes second nature. Some carriers require a multi-step process to get set up but can be easily stored in a nappy bag. Others may be easier to use but bulkier to transport. Easy to clean If you didn’t already know – babies are messy! Not all carriers can be machine-washed for easy cleaning – some need to be hand-washed or dry-cleaned. Be sure to check labels for washing instructions. Climate While physical contact is great for a boost of oxytocin (the love hormone) and bonding, all carriers will add heat. For warmer climates, lightweight and breathable fabrics are essential. For colder climates, heavier materials and padding are more appropriate. Organic and eco-friendly For those parents and babies with sensitive skin, or anyone looking for an eco-friendly carrier option, consider carriers with organic fabrics, colour grown cotton, unbleached fabrics, recycled materials, and non-toxic dyeing processes. Pick what’s right for you and your family Baby carriers are a great alternative to lugging a stroller in and out of your boot and navigating crowds. They’ve been shown to help promote bonding, improve postpartum depression and anxiety, and reduce crying. But ultimately, the perfect carrier for you and your bouncing baby is the style that you both find most comfortable. All carriers provide exactly what your baby is looking for – being close to you. Look at your budget, lifestyle, and who will be using the carrier to help you decide which styles to consider.

Babywearing made easy - New Limas Carriers
What are the benefits of babywearing? Baby carriers help you stay close and build a strong bond with your baby. The physical closeness can also help regulate the baby's heartbeat, body temperature, and breathing, all while providing them with a sense of security and comfort. Being hands-free while parenting is another great benefit. This convenience is great for everyday tasks around home. It also makes it easier to navigate crowded spaces, travel, or use public transport. A further benefit is that it frees parents to spend quality time with older siblings while keeping baby close and included. Babywearing has also been shown to ease discomfort and reduce crying. The gentle rocking motion mimics the womb and constant contact with a parent can have a soothing effect, helping to calm a fussy or colicky baby. Babies thrive on stimulation. Being in a carrier allows them to observe and engage with the world around them. They’ll get valuable sensory input from observing facial expressions, body language, and listening to the parent's conversations. Babywearing can also be beneficial for breastfeeding mothers with the close contact stimulating milk production. Babies' hips aren't fully developed when they're born. Babywearing supports healthy development of the hips. Our range of ergonomic carriers encourage the correct spread-squat position that is recommended by experts. New Limas Carriers The new Stokke Limas and Limas Plus are half-buckle carriers that combine the advantages of a baby wrap with an ergonomic carrier for optimal comfort & support. Both offer front, back (for 5+ months), and hip carrying options. The Limas Flex is a full buckle carrier with no straps to tie. It offers front and back carrying. In addition, the waistbelt can be easily removed, allowing it to be used as an onbuhimo - a traditional Japanese style for toddler back carrying Safety checks Ensure baby's airways are always clear and that they fully supported by the carrier. Make sure you keep one or both arms on your baby to secure them when fitting the carrier and when you bend over. And remember that if you wouldn’t do something with a baby in your arms, you probably shouldn’t do it while babywearing either – that includes anything involving hot liquids, running or jumping, or slippery surfaces. A great way to make sure your newborn is safely seated within their carrier is the T.I.C.K.S Rule. This stands for Tight , In view at all times, Close enough to kiss, Keep chin off the chest, Supported back. How to choose To make sure you’re choosing the right carrier for you and your baby it can help to try before you buy. The wide range of carriers we have available are all on display within our Dimples stores and we have amazing staff that can help fit the carrier for you.

Tips & Tricks for Travelling with a Baby or Toddler
Travelling with Kids: Your Fun, Fuss-Free Guide Heading off on a family adventure? Travelling with little ones can be full of magical memories – but let’s be honest, the planning and packing can feel a bit overwhelming. We’ve put together some handy tips and a comprehensive checklist to help make your trip smoother (and a lot more fun!). 🏖️☀️ Before You Go: Planning Ahead Research your destination: Does your accommodation provide a cot, high chair, or other baby-friendly gear? Think about how you’ll get around too – will you need car seats or airport transfers? Book smart: When booking flights, don’t forget the extras. Request a bassinet if needed, look for seats with extra legroom, and pre-order kids’ meals. Check your airline’s baggage policy and what baby gear you can bring. Get your documents sorted: Make sure everyone’s passports are up to date (including baby’s – with at least 6 months’ validity). Don’t forget visas and any required immunisation records. Getting There: In-Flight Tips Arrive early: Give yourself extra time to get through the airport stress-free. Take advantage of priority boarding – it gives you a few bonus minutes to settle in before the crowd. Ears and altitude: Offer a bottle or breastfeed during takeoff and landing to ease pressure on their ears. A pacifier or sippy cup can also help. Keep boredom at bay: New toys or books they haven’t seen before can work wonders – try magnetic books, sticker books, or even a stack of post-it notes for endless sticking fun. Load up your device with baby-friendly apps or videos for those moments a toy just won't do. Snacks, snacks, snacks: Pack food you know they love – and plenty of it! Snacks can be both fuel and entertainment. Once You Arrive: Making the Most of the Holiday Stick (loosely) to routine: Keeping to familiar nap and mealtimes can help your little one adjust. But travel rarely goes perfectly to plan, so go with the flow where you can. Baby-proof your space: Once you get to your accommodation, do a quick scan of the room. Move anything hazardous out of reach so you can relax and enjoy your time away. Stay cool and sun-safe: Keep fluids up and protect sensitive skin with sunscreen, sunhats, and breezy clothing – especially in tropical destinations. Your Ultimate Packing Checklist (with links to products we love!) Important Documents: Passports and visas Luggage ID tags (don’t forget to label strollers and baby gear too) Travel insurance Carry-On Essentials: Nappies and wipes (pack more than you think you’ll need) Disposable change mats - super handy for when you're on the go Spare clothes for baby and you Swaddle or blanket Pacifier and a favourite cuddly toy Snacks and meals Bottles and formula (if needed) Baby-safe hand sanitiser - we love this one from Paume Toys and books Tablet with headphones Baby carrier for hands-free travel For older toddlers, consider the Jetkids Bedbox by Stokke – a ride-on suitcase that converts into an inflight bed! Baby Gear & Equipment: A compact travel stroller (like the YOYO) that fits in overhead lockers is a game-changer Travel cot if your accommodation doesn’t provide one – bonus as it doubles as a play space! For bigger kids, the Stokke Cloud Sleeper inflatable bed is a great option White noise machine - we love the Yogasleep Hushh Stroller fan for warm climates Insect nets for cot and pram Car seat – different countries have different rules, so it's very important to research ahead. We recommend the Maxi-Cosi Nomad for its light weight and compact size (suitable from approx. 15 months to 4 years) Portable blackout blinds for the room, or even a stroller shade to help with daytime naps Clothing & Accessories: Weather-appropriate clothes, including wet bags for damp items Sleep sacks (bring one your child is used to, and adjust for warmer/cooler climates) Sun protection – sun hats, sunglasses, and lightweight layers Feeding: Bottles or sippy cups Enough formula or food for the trip (plus some spares) Bibs, burp cloths, and baby-safe detergent Changing, Hygiene & Health: Nappies and wipes (pack for a few days, then restock locally) Sunscreen and insect repellent Baby-safe medication, thermometer, and first aid basics Travel-sized toiletries and nappy cream Once you’ve nailed your list, save a copy for next time. A notes app on your phone works perfectly! Bon voyage and happy travels with your mini adventurers! ❤️

Airport Saviour Guide for When Traveling with Kids
Traveling with kids can be an adventure filled with excitement—but also a lot of challenges. Navigating airports with little ones by your side requires a bit of planning and the right tools to make the experience smoother. Here’s how you can tackle the common airport travel problems with practical solutions: Problem: "I can’t deal with the long lines and crowded airports while managing my toddler." Solution: Keep Your Hands Free for a Stress-Free Airport Experience Airports can be overwhelming with long security lines and busy crowds, making it difficult to manage both your bags and your child. One effective way to ease the process is by using a toddler carrier to keep your hands free. Make sure to check how to correctly use the carrier before your trip for maximum comfort and security. This way, you can focus on your essentials, easily navigate through crowded areas, and manage your luggage, all while keeping your toddler safe and close. Problem: "My toddler is restless and uncomfortable during the flight." Solution: Create a Cozy Travel Comfort Zone Help your toddler feel at ease by recreating a cozy, familiar environment. Bring a favourite blanket or stuffed toy from home and consider the comfort of a Stokke Jetkids Bedbox to help them stretch out. Noise-cancelling headphones with soothing music or white noise can also help them relax. All this can help make the flight more comfortable so your little one can settle in for a nap or quiet time. Problem: "Strollers are bulky, and it’s hard to juggle them with all my bags." Solution: Opt for Flexible Travel Gear While strollers are handy, they can be difficult to manage alongside your luggage. Consider a flexible and stylish option, like a leopard print toddler carrier , for hands-free convenience. This way, you can easily navigate tight spaces, keep your child close, and still have room to manage your travel gear. Problem: "I’m feeling stressed and overwhelmed with everything I need to manage." Solution: Be Prepared and Stay Flexible Traveling with kids can be overwhelming, but being well prepared can help. Pack all the essentials in advance—including snacks and entertainment and create a to-pack list so you don’t forget last-minute essentials. Giving yourself extra time for check-in, security, and boarding, and staying flexible if things don't go as planned, can make all the difference. When you have a carrier to keep your toddler close and calm, you’ll feel more in control. You can also more easily talk your little travel buddy through the new experiences you’re navigating and get them excited about the adventure to come. Traveling through airports with kids doesn’t have to be stressful. With the right preparation and tools, you can turn the airport experience into an enjoyable part of your adventure. By staying organized and keeping your child close and comfortable, you'll set the tone for a successful trip. Embrace the freedom that comes with staying hands-free and enjoy a more relaxed journey for both you and your little one.
