Getting the perfect fit with your Hana Baby Carrier shouldn't be difficult. We designed our carrier to be as intuitive as possible, and easily adjustable.

When your carrier isn't quite right, both you and your baby might feel fidgety or uncomfortable. But a few simple adjustments can turn your carrier into a snug, soothing hug that supports parent-child bonding. Let’s walk through how to adjust your carrier for the gentle comfort you deserve. 

Understanding Your Hana Baby Carrier

The design of our carrier has been created with both parents and babies in mind. From the beginning, we had a long list of features and functions we wanted it to achieve. It needed to be comfortable and easy for parents to use, with maximum adjustability to fit every body type. It also had to support babies and parents ergonomically and be safe enough for even the tiniest newborns.

Our biggest goal for this fabric carrier was that it would grow with your child, one carrier that could take you from the newborn stage all the way to toddlerhood. I’m pleased to say it passed every test and exceeded our expectations. We’re so proud that it’s now out in the world, supporting parents and their babies.

Importance of a Proper Fit

A well-fitted carrier ensures comfort and safety for both you and your baby. When your carrier fits right, it evenly distributes your baby’s weight, reducing pressure on your shoulders and back. This means longer, happier walks together. It’s not just about comfort, though. Proper fit helps your baby maintain a healthy posture, supporting their developing spine and hips. Imagine the relief of knowing your little one is both safe and snug as you move through your day. We have a wealth of information over on our instruction page. 

Key Features of Organic Materials

The Hana Baby Carrier stands out for its use of organic materials. Why is this important? Organic fabrics, like bamboo and cotton, are not only soft but gentle on sensitive skin. This means fewer irritations and more cuddles. Plus, they are breathable, keeping you both cool in warmer weather. Our cotton which goes into our carrier is certified organic, and all it's manufacturing is free from toxins and harmful chemicals. Trust in a carrier that cares as much as you do.

Adjusting for Babywearing Comfort

With an understanding of your carrier’s features, let’s make sure it fits just right. The next steps will guide you through adjustments, ensuring your babywearing experience is as comfortable as it is heartwarming.

Growing with your baby

The Expand Carrier does exactly what it says on the tin, it expands as your baby grows, right down to the millimetre. You can adjust not only the width of the carrier but also the height of the panel. These adjustments can be made before you put the carrier on, as well as while your baby is already positioned in it, ensuring a truly perfect fit every time.

Ergonomic Design

The Hana Baby Expand is an ergonomically designed carrier. What does this mean I hear you ask. An ergonomically designed carrier keeps the baby in a safe, developmentally supportive position while ensuring the wearer stays comfortable and well-supported, even for longer carries. No sore backs or shoulders. 

Two way adjustable straps

Each of the straps on the Hana Baby Expand offers two-way adjustment. This means you can easily fine-tune the fit from any angle or position, ensuring the carrier always feels secure and comfortable. Whether you’re tightening the waistband or adjusting the shoulder straps, the design allows for quick, simple, and precise adjustments. Perfect for achieving an optimal fit as you and your baby move throughout the day.

Wear it your way

Our Best Buy baby carrier can be worn in multiple carrying positions. You can comfortably carry your baby on your front or, for added convenience, on your hip. Once your baby is developmentally ready, you can also transition to carrying them on your back.

The straps can be worn in two different configurations as well, either in the classic “H” position or crossed in an “X”style. This allows you to choose the option that feels most supportive and comfortable for you, giving you complete flexibility in how you wear your carrier.

Step-by-Step Adjustment Guide

• Start with the Waistband: Secure it snugly around your waist, ensuring it sits firmly without pinching. The waistband should support most of your baby’s weight.

Like the above image. Showing a well tightened waist band, and not loose like the below image. 

• Position Your Baby: Gently place your baby in the carrier, ensuring their legs are in an “M” position. This supports their hips and ensures comfort.

• Adjust the Straps: Tighten the shoulder straps so your baby sits close to your body. You should be able to kiss the top of their head easily.

Adjusting your carrier might feel like an art, but once you get it right, it’s a game-changer. You’ll feel the difference immediately, with less strain and more joy in carrying your little one.

Common Fit Issues and Solutions

Struggling to get the fit just right? We are here to help. If your baby seems too low, check the waistband height. It might need to be higher. Is the carrier pulling on your shoulders? This could be that the straps are too tight or not tight enough. Try redistributing the weight by adjusting the straps. Remember, small tweaks can lead to big changes in comfort.

Enhancing Parent-Child Bonding

Now that your carrier is adjusted perfectly, let’s explore how this simple tool can foster deeper connections between you and your baby.

Benefits of Eco-Friendly Babywearing

Choosing an eco-friendly carrier isn’t just about the planet, it’s about your baby’s health too. Organic materials ensure fewer chemicals and toxins, providing a safer space for your little one. Plus, eco-friendly choices reflect a commitment to sustainability, teaching your child the importance of caring for our world. Imagine the peace of mind knowing you’re making a choice that benefits both your child and the earth. 

Creating Lasting Memories with Your Little One 

Babywearing is more than convenience; it’s about moments, development, and getting things done, (Even if just having a hot cup of tea whilst contact napping). Those soft coos, gentle breaths, and quiet smiles create memories you’ll cherish forever. Not only that having your baby close to you regulates them and helps with their development. You baby was literally born to be carried.

Your baby carrier becomes a vessel for these beautiful experiences, allowing you to hold your baby’s world close while exploring your own. As you walk together, you’ll find that each step strengthens your bond, making every journey special. Embrace these moments, for they are the heart of parenting.
