Baby carriers and slings
We've used our African Baby Carrier since our first was 3 months old. We bought the extended version which works for children up to 4 years. It is comfortable, lightweight and was recommended by my lactation consultant. We absolutely love it.
Great for older toddlers as you can back carry. Its light weight & easy to clean and put away after use
The original African Babier Carrier was the first ergonomic carrier I bought, once I realized that the narrow-based carrier I was using was not very comfortable for me or my son. It changed my mom-life! Suddenly my son would fall asleep without too much effort, and once he nodded off I could get about my day hands-free, but with baba safely against me. Unfortunately my boy grew chubby and tall, and this carrier was no longer big enough to support his legs nicely, or comfortable enough for me with his increased weight, so when he was about ten months old I upgraded to a more supportive, higher quality soft-structured carrier. The ABC was great and I'll always have a soft spot for it! It is affordable and designed well. But the cheaper price does, understandably, come with downsides - mostly that the waistbelt and shoulder straps are not padded enough for mom to be comfortable carrying a heavier baby. The hood is also a bit of an awkward design, and as a small-framed woman, I wish that the shoulder straps could be made significantly shorter for more comfortable back carrying. But overall it is comfortable for carrying younger babies, both in cooler and in hotter weather.
We have had our carrier with 2 babies and really loved it. With our new born we couldn't find a stretchy baby wrap and bought the ABC new born carrier, absolutely worth it! Compared to a wrap it is so much easier to use and more convenient to put baby in and out when they are hungry or need a diaper change where as with a wrap you have adjust the whole thing take it off and eventually they get super stretchy and not comfortable anymore. This brand (both carrier sizes) is just really amazing and bonus that it is locally made and affordable! It's longevity is also great and would still be good to sell second hand.
I have one of these and love it
I am a mom to be in less than 3 weeks and as any mom to be setting up for a first baby will tell you, it’s EXPENSIVE!!! However, I don’t like wasting money and having to replace things, so I try to keep up my standard levels with everything I buy FIRST time as to not have any regrets later. This means I look around, I do my homework and I find the best deals with neat quality. So although my baby hasn’t sat in this carrier yet, I will tell you that out of all the different baby carrier brands that I looked at, this one was the best value for money! Baby can sit facing you or facing the world, you don’t need a “stage 1, then” etc, it lasts until baby is 3! It also comes in a lovely little bag and comes with a matching baby hat to block out the sun too! I love the softness of the material and can’t wait to put baby Carter into this carrier! (Only not putting 5 stars since I haven’t actually carried my baby in it yet)
My 8month old is really comfortable in this carrier. My older boy doesn't being carried anymore so finding it more useful with smaller baby.
My baby loved being in this carrier when he was smaller as he got bigger he no longer liked as much i think he felt a bit restricted in his movements. But a good comfy carrier either way.
A friend of mine borrowed me hers for my 9 month old when i went on holiday because i tried about 5 carriers on the market and returned them all, and i promised myself that i will get one if i had another kid. Amazing carrier!
Very easy to use and fits both me and my husband comfortably. I even compketed a 5km walk with baby in it and she was sleeping the whole time.
Love our African Baby Carrier!! we use it everyday to take a walk and to get baby asleep
Ben loved this carrier around 6 months. It was easy to use and comfortable.
The African Baby Carrier is simple in its design yet provides good support for baby. I found that when my son was very little it didn’t provide him with a special much support compared to another carrier I was using. But as he got bigger, from about 9kg, I really enjoyed using the ABC. It is super simple to fit and adjust and I used it for both front and back carrying. A life saver to have hands free while keeping baby close!

I recently purchased my abc and I'm absolutely loving it. Baby is 4 months and enjoying the long walks in it. Definitely value for money.
I purchased my ABC 5 years ago with my middle child, he was a child who needed to be carried and slept very little. This made it easier for me, I found the carrier extremely user friendly, li
