Questions answered

Is baby too low? Can they breathe properly? Are their hips okay? A carrier can be a lifesaver on the unsettled days, but it can feel fiddly and a bit nerve-wracking at first. These are questions new mums ask me all the time.

This guide covers the basics, based on current Australian product safety guidance: the different types of carriers, how to carry safely every time with TICKS, hip-healthy positions, and how to keep baby comfortable in the Australian heat.

These guides share general information based on current Australian guidance, along with our own lived experience. They aren't medical advice and don't replace the advice of a health professional. Always talk to your GP, midwife or child health nurse about your own situation and your baby.

Guidance is updated from time to time, so we review our guides regularly. If we update your guide, we'll email you the new version.

Because our guides are digital downloads you can access straight away, we're not able to offer refunds for change of mind.

If there's a problem with your guide, like a file that won't download, won't open or isn't what was described, contact us and we'll fix it, replace it or refund you. This doesn't affect your rights under Australian Consumer Law.

The last line of the refunds row matters. Under Australian Consumer Law you can refuse change-of-mind refunds, but you can't say "no refunds" outright. Customers are still entitled to a remedy if a product is faulty or not as described, and that wording covers you.
