Connecta
The Connecta baby carrier is a soft structured carrier which is based on traditional chinese ‘mei tai’ but fastens with buckles for ease. It has wide, well padded straps and a curved padded headrest. It also comes with an accessory strap that can be used as a chest strap, to narrow the body of the carrier to use with a younger baby, and to hold the carrier together when folded. It can be used for front or back carries.
We have a Connecta baby carrier in our Sling Library which was kindly donated by Connecta.

My husband and I have used a connecta baby carrier for our baby from 3 months to 11 months (& counting).
We chose it because it was a rucksack like clip to do up so was easy and clear to do up and adjust. We have also found grandparents and aunties find it easy to use.
We do up the waist strap and one shoulder strap and then post the baby in before doing up the other strap. This feels quite secure and you can do it standing up or sitting down.
The toddler hood is great for when our baby falls asleep as you can keep their head supported.
In the early days we used the separate strap to narrow the carrier for his little legs but now it is just used to keep it together when we aren’t using it.
We have used it on the front and back and will continue to use it in the months and years to come.
