The Kozy Carrier is a modern version of the Asian Mei Tai, otherwise known as an Asian Baby Carrier (ABC). With wide padded shoulder straps, a padded curved head support, and sturdy durable fabrics (which give the body the stability it needs to carry heavier weights comfortably), the Kozy was designed for the comfort of not only you but your child as well. And with its generous sized body, it not only supports your child throughout their legs, bum and back, but it is made to grow with your child. It can be used from birth through toddlerhood and beyond. The cost of the Kozy Carrier is $165

I’m Liking:
That this is a combination of a wrap sling (Moby wrap etc) and a carrier (like the Ergo and Natures Sway Pouch). It is extremely comfortable with a small baby or a 3 year old. The reason I liked it was that it immediately felt like the weight was as evenly distributed as when I wear babies for hours on end in a wrap.
Things that make me go hmmm:
The biggest thing that I didn’t like was that when I put a 3 year old on my back in it, she and I were both comfy, but it looked ridiculous with all sorts of bulges where I do not want them 🙂 another thing is that I find that knotted slings can adjust themselves so need re-jigging, but that is not the end of the world.
Extra for experts:
To me this is the quick version of the long Wrap, but has less fabric and more straightforward to use (no origami required). I would definitely use one of these if it were available for shopping trips etc… as it is quick and easy to use but also distributes the weight well.
The conclusion:
A great choice if you are wanting an “in-between” two different kinds of sling, it has the best features from both worlds of wrap and carrier. It is also lightweight and portable. Although I really like it, personally, I do think there are other carriers with more going for them.
