Whilst many families do still use their Caboo very happily for naptimes or around the house with babies up to 9-12 months, most will find that a stretchy sling like the Caboo doesn’t feel sturdy enough for walking or days out past 6 months or so. I tried one on at a baby show and asked the rep what the point of it was and they said (in a surprised voice) "Oh well, it appeals to dads, dads like the extra security". They mention it's comfortable for the baby and convenient for the carer, as it enables them to have free hands. It is quick and easy to use by yourself, simply pop it on over the head like a t-shirt and tighten it down to provide the perfect fit and ultimate support for baby and wearer, without the hassle of tying or fiddly clips.

Breastfeed with comfort and ease in a sitting position while baby is safely held withing the Caboo carrier. It all tucks away nicely in to a neat bag (which is also part of the carrier so no unnecessary material) It hardly takes up any room so can be transported in a baby change bag or I just keep mine at the bottom of the push chair in case my baby needs contact with me. It consists of a harness-style sling that crosses over at the back and front and adjusts to fit a whole range of sizes by a simple ring mechanism. It's best to use from birth during the 4th trimester and will allow you to meet your baby's needs whilst allowing you to get on with your day.Sophistication Meets Functionality: Beyond its primary function, this carrier stands as a testament to modern parenting aesthetics, blending utility with sophistication, a hallmark of the Close Parent brand in the UK. The Caboo Cotton Blend is made from a cotton / polyester blend, whilst the Caboo Organic is 100% Organic Cotton. Perhaps a link to a youtube video on the manual would be good for ease of use - everything is digital these days and videos are so much easier than reading a manual! The soft wide straps make carrying more comfortable, and allow you to tuck little one's head in cheek to chest when needed. I - In view at all times - You should always be able to see your baby's face by simpling glancing down.

Our baby was born small so the carrier that we had we could not use for the first 6 weeks as she was under 3kg. The Caboo is ideal for wearing around the house, allowing me to get jobs done while keeping Katie close, and she likes feeling involved in what I’m doing. We recommend that if you have bought a complete set of nappies then just wash one or two to see how you get on with them. To a new parent, turning a long bit of fabric into a safe secure sling seems a bit like witchcraft, and the slightly more pre-done design of the Caboo is very reassuring.Like our other carriers it is quick and easy to use by yourself, simply pop it on over the head like a t-shirt and tighten it down to provide the perfect fit and ultimate support for baby and wearer, without the hassle of tying or fiddly clips.

It’s a great option for parents of low birth weight babies or twins who want a slightly more structured sling from newborn. Newborns can be carried in a foetal position or facing your chest, but at 5 months old, Katie loves facing outwards so she can see the world – an option that some baby slings lack. The Close Caboo Lite Carrier in Denim is a soft denim blue baby carrier with a delicate ripple design on the front panel. This super soft and supportive baby carrier holds baby in the frog-legged 'M' position, the best position for developing spine and hips, and has wide straps for an even weight distribution and stretchy binding for a comfortable carry. The Close Parent Caboo Lite Carrier is the original sling re-invented and has long been the UK's favourite newborn baby carrier.Its still lovely and soft although the binding doesn't feel as great (bit like tracksuit bottom material). Some parents prefer the narrower fabric, especially if they are petite or find too much fabric too warm. Like our other carriers it is quick and easy to use by yourself, simply pop it on over the head like a t-shirt and tighten it down to provide the perfect fit and ultimate support for baby and wearer, without the hassle of tying or fiddly clips. With its soft and supportive lightweight fabric, our Caboo baby carrier is incredibly comfortable to wear.
