Learn about the Cairis Carrier?

The Cairis is a beautiful & comfortable buckle waist, tie strap carrier that has been thoughtfully designed by Mum of 3, Zoe, to bring all the features she wished to find on a baby carrier.

It is ergonomic and has unique elements designed for comfort and optimal positioning of your baby. There is no digging from webbing and buckles like many carriers,

Featuring Oscha's unique jacquard woven sling fabric, customers love this style of carrier as it is easy to use yet gives the snug adjustability of a woven baby wrap carrier.

Strata-linea® waistband

This unique waistband is gently padded and beautifully contoured with rows of stitching. We designed it to prevent digging in at the waist, which you will find in regular baby carriers from webbing and buckles.

For me it's the best carrier. Convenient with the buckle waist but adjustable with the wrap straps.
Love the straps and waistband! ... No fiddling with buckles on the back etc and super versatile.
So easy to get a good fit that works for different body types.
I like that there aren't a bunch of buckles digging into my body. The wrap straps are easily adjustable for comfort for multiple wearers meaning I don't have to fiddle with anything to fit my own body after my husband uses it.
The cushioning on the waist and tops of the straps is so nice. The width of the straps is perfect and you can spread it perfectly to carry weight. My boy looks comfy and never complains in the Cairis
