Frequently Asked Questions

🍼 Product Fit & Safety

How to wear the Pouch Toddler Carrier?

Wear – Pop the carrier on with the strap facing out so you can tug it tight later.

Swoop – Scoop up your little one, slide the seat under their bum and lift.

Tighten – Give the front strap a good pull so they sit nice and snug against you.

Adjust – Shuffle the seat under and behind them to stop any slipping back or down.

Loop – Clip the safety strap through the buckle for extra security and peace of mind.

How does the Pouch Baby Carrier work?

Think of it as a more comfortable version of the classic hip carrier. Just pop your toddler on the Pouch, pull the shoulder strap snug, and off you go. No fiddly clips or complicated wraps. The seat takes the weight so your arms and back don’t have to.

What age, weight and height is it suitable for?

Pouch is designed for toddlers who can sit confidently on their own:

  • Weight: 6 kg – 20 kg
  • Age: Around 9 months to 4 years
  • Height: 70 cm – 110 cm

Is it safe for my child’s hips?

Yes, it’s designed with hip health in mind. The built-in seat keeps their legs in the natural “M-position,” which supports healthy hip development through toddlerhood.

Is it suitable for kids with special needs or delays?

It depends on your child’s needs. If your little one can sit upright on their own, the Pouch could be a great option for comfort and closeness. We recommend checking with your healthcare provider first if unsure.

👩‍👧 Parent Comfort & Use

What makes it ergonomic for parents?

The wide, sling-style strap spreads weight evenly across your torso and aligns your centre of gravity—so your shoulders stay relaxed and your back feels supported.

Will the strap dig into my shoulder or neck?

Not at all. The padded, wrap-style strap cups gently over your shoulder and doesn’t cut in. Most parents say it feels surprisingly light!

Can both parents use it?

Definitely. It’s fully adjustable and can be worn on either hip - just switch sides based on what’s more comfortable for you.

Can I switch sides while wearing it?

Absolutely. Just take it off, pop it on the other hip, and adjust the strap again. It’s designed to be worn on either side.

Do I need to support my toddler with one hand?

Yes - Pouch makes carrying much easier, but it’s not fully hands-free. You’ll still want to rest one arm around your toddler for safety and comfort.

Is it breathable in hot weather?

Yes, the fabric is soft, light and breathable -perfect for Aussie summers or active days out.

🌍 Everyday Use & Travel

Can I use it while travelling?

That’s where it really shines. Pouch folds flat to fit in a pram or carry-on and is perfect for airports, city trips, hikes or whenever your toddler wants a rest.

Can I bring it on the plane?

Definitely. Pouch folds flat and fits easily into your carry-on or under the seat. It’s a lifesaver in airports and queues.

Is it machine-washable?

Absolutely. Pop it in on a cold or warm cycle with mild detergent and hang it to dry. Easy as.

How durable is it?

We use double-stitched, high-quality fabric made to last through years of everyday use - even if you’re planning to use it again for baby #2.
