Is
Your Carrier the Right Size?
Top
Sizing is very important with the New Native® Baby Carrier, as it is one continuous piece of
fabric, with a deep pocket. It's a simple design,
free of belts and buckles, providing the most comfort
and ease of mobility for you and your baby. To check
for correct sizing, you need to size the carrier
with your baby in it. The lowest part of the
carrier (with the baby in it) should not
hang below the top of your thigh. If it is too long
you will bump the baby when you are walking, and it
could put strain on your back. The carrier is too
small if the bottom of it hangs above your belly button
(with the baby in it). When sized correctly,
the carrier with your baby will fall within your center
of gravity, and feel extremely comfortable. Call or
email us if you need help with sizing.

bleach! Wash dark carriers with like colors in cold
water. Tumble dry on low setting. Remove promptly.
Making
Your Carrier Smaller
Top
The New Native Baby Carrier can be made smaller by
sewing a simple seam across the shoulder area. This
can be taken out later if your baby needs more room.(Note: Once an alteration has been made we cannot honor a refund or exchange.)
Test First—Use pins to take
your carrier in. Adjust the carrier to a comfortable
length. Remove tacking stitch at the shoulder area,
and open your carrier up, inside out. Flatten carrier
out with the bottom seam along one edge. (see Figure
1)
Mark— the line that you wish
to sew (see A), with pins or chalk. Sew across the
length of the carrier and back again.
Open the carrier up (see Figure 2), lay the extra
fabric over and stitch down. (Figures 3 and 4). Now
turn your carrier back right side out and fold it
in half to make the pocket again.
