The Honey & Sage Ergonomic Baby Carrier is a front-carrying baby carrier made for everyday, hands-free closeness. It supports babies from 3.5kg to 20kg, so the same carrier works from the newborn weeks through to the toddler years.
A newborn baby carrier that grows with your child
From 3.5kg, the carrier adjusts to sit your newborn high and snug on your chest, close enough to kiss, with their chin off their chest and their face always in view. As your baby grows, you loosen and adjust the straps and waistband rather than buying a new carrier.
Ergonomic support for you and your baby
A supportive waistband carries much of your baby's weight on your hips, and the shoulder straps spread the rest across your back, so you can carry for longer without the strain of carrying your baby in your arms. For your baby, the wide seat supports the M-position, with knees higher than bottom and a gently curved back.
An adjustable baby carrier for different parents and caregivers
The buckle-and-strap design adjusts at the shoulders and waist, so it can be shared between parents, grandparents and other carers. Most people find it quick to put on solo after a few practice runs.
Front carrying, facing in or out
Newborns and young babies should face in towards you. Once your baby has strong head and neck control, you can switch to facing out for short periods, following the included instructions.
Breathable cotton for Australian weather
Made from 100% cotton, the carrier is lighter and more breathable than heavier synthetic designs, which helps on warm Australian days. In hot weather, dress your baby in a single light layer and take regular breaks.

How it compares to other ergonomic baby carriers
Australia has some well-known specialist carrier brands, and many of them offer extras like multiple back and hip carry positions, mesh panels or a wide range of sizes and accessories. Ours is deliberately simpler: one adjustable, breathable cotton front carrier that covers 3.5kg to 20kg, for parents who want a comfortable everyday carrier without a long list of settings to learn. If you need back carrying or a specialist fit, a dedicated babywearing store or consultant can help.
TICKS babywearing safety
Always use the carrier according to the included instructions, and check TICKS every time you carry:
-
Tight: the carrier is snug and secure, keeping your baby close against you.
-
In view at all times: you can see your baby's face just by looking down, with their airway clear and unobstructed.
-
Close enough to kiss: your baby is carried high enough that you can kiss the top of their head.
-
Keep chin off chest: no slumping in the carrier, with at least a finger's width under your baby's chin.
-
Supported spine: your baby's back is naturally curved and supported firmly against you.
