Aside from Andala, MoniLu is probably the most popular carrier manufacturer in the Czech Republic. Anytime you go anywhere at a babywearing meet-up, or basically anything connected with babywearing, you can be sure to encounter at least one or two MoniLus. Therefore, we had the opportunity to look, touch and try these carriers in [...]
Kokon (i.e. ‘cocoon’ in English), or ‘Gooslionok’ in its native Russian tongue, is widely known in its classical version - a soft structured carrier made of fabric (i.e. not of a woven wrap), with a cooling vent pocket or without it (we had the opportunity to test one with the pocket last autumn) and with wide [...]
At the very beginning, I need to give some space to two different Polish babywearing brands in this article. I first saw Kavka as a wrap conversion made of a Pabelle wrap, and later also a Kenhuru conversion. I was especially intrigued by the blue Pabelle Llama wrap conversion; however, buying a carrier I [...]
KiBi - that’s a real thing in the Czech lands – in the babywearing groups on Facebook, the questions like “Is it better to buy Manduca or KiBi?” are asked on daily basis. If ˈManducaˈ is a synonym for ergonomic carrier for less-experienced wearers or beginners, thenˈKiBiˈ has a similar function in the Czech [...]
Linda’s View: I promised you a review of the non-adjustable Be Lenka carrier, specifically its middle size, some time this summer. I must admit I forgot about it and because it is the time of the New Year’s resolutions, I have to make amends. Nowadays, most mums want a carrier that could be used [...]
I have to make a confession at the very beginning – I simply hate writing all those ˈhistoricalˈ introductions about manufacturers of wraps and carriers… ;) Well, it’s great and all to get to know something new, you often get a brand-new perspective, but… I really do not enjoy all the digging on the [...]
We have already published quite a comprehensive review of the Kokon Chick carrier (in which you can find all the information about ˈwho, what, when and whereˈ of this brand); however, it is actually this classical version of Kokon that we tested with Emilka more thoroughly than any other carrier. The first time we [...]
There is nothing to discuss – the Slovaks simply know how to make a carrier. The carriers from Slovakia, those are not only Moyo, Sestrice, Zumbucca or Lenka, but also BIMBI (spelled in capitals). Bronislava Froncová is the founder of the brand that won ˈThe Most Beautiful Product from a Mom 2015ˈ Award. And, [...]
Recommendation of the manufacturer: 8 - 20 months of age (from 70 - 75 cm, the maximum height limit is not specified), recommendation of the babywearing group Moderní nosičky (i.e. Modern Babywearers): 70 - 90 cm Width x height of the back panel: 40 x 44 cm OK, then. We are going to measure [...]
Tiki-Mechulka is certainly not the most well-known or common carrier brand in the Czech Republic. Moreover, the ergonomic carriers are only in minority among the Tiki’s sortiment which comprises mainly of fabric swings for babies called ˈhackaˈ (which you can actually find in Tiki’s logo), babywearing and nursing clothes, clothes for children, purses, hip [...]
