Kristen Schindler's review

What I especially appreciate about this is that it supports the idea that movement doesn’t have to disappear after becoming a parent. It just changes for a while. But being able to take your baby on walks, easy trail outings, or recovery hikes creates a way to reconnect with yourself and your athletic identity without needing perfect conditions or childcare every time. It’s also lightweight, breathable, machine washable, and adaptable across multiple carry positions as your kiddo grows, which makes it feel much more sustainable than gear that only works for one short phase.
