Neko Tiny Newborn Carrier In Stock Now

The Neko Tiny baby carrier can be used from just 2.5 kg (5.5 lbs) until 68/72 cm (approx 9 months depending on baby.)

Neko Tiny was designed for lower birth weight babies and tested in independent labs and by several babywearing consultants.

The Neko Tiny is a hybrid baby carrier: a structured semi-stretchy carrier which makes carrying tiny ones in a stretchy much less complicated, with no extra fabric to worry about. Simple, uncomplicated, and cuddly soft. An alternative to a stretchy wrap for the 4th trimester and beyond.

Suitable for low-birthweight babies who have reached 2.5kg and also late preemies who are stable. For early preemies, preemies with health problems, or babies under 2.5kg please seek professional advice first. Safety is always of the utmost importance.

The Neko Tiny baby carrier allows you to attach the straps to the waistband to avoid any unnecessary pressure on baby’s spine or your tender breasts, helping to avoid blocked ducts or mastitis. Neko Tiny fastens with a buckle at a choice of two attachment points – under baby’s bum for tiny babies, or into the waistband for bigger babies. This unique ‘2-option’ fitting system ensures greater flexibility and support for young babies.

Neko recommend fastening the buckles under baby’s bum under 3.5 kg, without using the buttons on the shoulder straps.

Once baby has reached the 3.5 kg mark (7.7lbs) you can move onto clipping the buckle into the waistband and start using the buttons to hold the panel steady as baby grows. Neko designed this to be done one-handed so that you can easily clip the buckles together by yourself!

A comfortably padded waist belt for you, and leg padding for baby’s comfort. The hood also has a lightly padded section that you can choose to roll up and tie at the shoulder straps for added neck support.

Fully adjustable panel in both width & height – the width adjusts with velcro on the waistband, and you can adjust the height by pulling the panel up and down the straps on both sides of the carrier.

Please note: Neko recommend fastening the buckles under baby’s bum under 3.5 kg - larger wearers or broad chested people (size 18+/XXL) may find they need the separate strap extension to do this. Simply clip it into the existing straps to provide more length. Please let us know if you would like this included in your hire.
