Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
The Wilkinet Baby Carrier was designed by mother, Sally Wilkins. It gently cocoons a 5lb newborn baby, yet is strong enough to carry a chunky toddler. It is extremely versatile, the newborn can be snuggled up against your body, the three-month plus baby can face outwards, and the heavier or older baby can be worn on your hip, or back.
Excellent support is provided for your baby as their weight is carried on the thighs and buttocks instead of the perineum. Also designed to meet your comfort needs, the shoulder straps stop the baby falling forward and all the weight is transferred directly to the pelvis while, providing the waist straps are fitted low enough, it also acts as a sacro-iliac belt, helping to stabilise the sacro-iliac joints (especially important for a nursing mother, whose ligaments will tend to be lax). Plus there are NO moving parts - an engineering tour-de-force. That means guaranteed 100% reliability with NO maintenance!
"The Wilkinet transfers the weight directly onto the pelvic bones (your hips) and from there to the legs, so none of the baby's weight has to be carried through the spine, so there is hardly any load placed on the spinal column at all." Martin Grundy - Osteopath (specialist in pregnancy and postnatal treatments).
Working like a wraparound shawl, but without the parent being engulfed in wide bands of cloth, it holds your baby onto and against your upper body. The wide well-padded shoulder straps and unique wraparound method of tying ensures evenly distributed weight with no dragging on your neck, shoulders or back. Your baby is gently supported by the cushioned head, back and leg areas.
In the early weeks, when you carry your baby facing in on the front, the Wilkinet will cuddle your new baby snugly and firmly, supporting under its bottom and thighs, and providing support for his/her back and head as if being held in your arms. There are no rings, zips, clips or buckles to fiddle about with and nothing to break and render it useless (one happy user reported using the Wilkinet for herself, friends and family for 10 babies over 12 years!).
Available in a high quality twill weave cloth with a choice of 3 colours, navy, black and red plus an organic cotton version in chocolate. In addition, navy and black come in an extra large version for women size 20 plus and men with a chest size of 44 inches plus.

Not for me!,

This review is from: Wilkinet Baby Carrier Cotton Twill (Black) (Baby Product)
Bought this after reading the reviews as i am short and was worried about back support. it was simple to use if a little fiddly, however gave me chronic back pain after 5 mins of wearing it. I tried using it several times and gave up and ordered the baby bjorn active carrier instead, which is much better and very easy to use.

Secure and comfortable, though need practice to start with,

This review is from: Wilkinet Baby Carrier Cotton Twill (Navy) (Baby Product)
We have has this carrier since our baby was born, and we have found it incredibly comfortable for both the baby and us. I use it all the time. The carrier is not designed with buckles, but has long straps that sre wrapped around. This does require trying a couple of times with a teddy bear, but once sorted, it is very easy/quick to put on and off. This design also makes it incredible secure, even if you are bent right down, and means that it doesn't need endless adjusting between me and my husband.The carrier sits on the top of your hips as well as over your neck and so can be worn for much longer than other baby carriers I've seen. The only disadvantage is if you have tiny hips, where the carrier might slip a bit. The main reason I bought this one over the others was that it can be attached in four ways and so your baby can still be carried safely when they are bigger.

too fiddly,

This review is from: Wilkinet Baby Carrier Cotton Twill (Navy) (Baby Product)
Wasn't very impressed with this item. It was taking very long time to put on. It was too fiddly. Couldn't do it on my own. Needed help therefore no good to us while on your own. Plus my baby started to be very unhappy while I've been trying to hold him and at the same time fit the carrier on. It was no good so I had to return it.
