About Our Carriers
It all started with The Beluga Wrap, a stretchy wrap carrier for babies newborn* to 25 lbs. It is extremely unique, with its eco-friendly, breathable, and soft bamboo fabric. It has a four-way stretch to hug your baby from all angles, creating a womb-like environment.
The Beluga Buckle Carrier was designed to mimic the feeling of The Beluga Wrap, while providing more structure for your baby as they grow. It is the comfiest carrier for babies 7 to 50 pounds, from newborn to about four years. It can be worn on your front, your back (once baby can sit unassisted), or your hip, giving you your hands free while comforting and calming your baby or toddler.

Our Story
I became a mother in the early evening of April 2nd, 2015. My baby girl Sawyer was born, cord wrapped around her neck three times, and I was forever changed. I was mama. I was hers.
A healthy and loud baby, Sawyer loved interaction, and never wanted to be put down. I was exhausted, and in just a few short weeks was feeling a keen sense of the “baby blues”. I wanted to spend time with her, meet her every need. But what about me?
It’s a huge shift, becoming a parent, make no mistake. And I struggled.
Enter babywearing. I knew babywearing was awesome - find out whyhere. But I ended up trying lots of different types of carriers and was never fully happy with what was available. Some wraps were too thick, overwhelming, and they made me overheat. Other wraps only stretched in one direction and I felt like I didn’t have a full range of movement.
So I curated my own fabric, a blend of mostly bamboo with a touch of cotton for support and a tiny bit of spandex for that unique four-way stretch. You can see how it’s made (locally!)here.
The Beluga Wrap was born! It quickly became a favourite of new parents and has been well-loved ever since.
Fast forward seven years, and I’ve just given birth to my second daughter, Scottie Reign. Once again I’m reminded how invaluable the Beluga Wrap is. I use it every single day. Baby won’t nap? Into the Beluga. Need to chop veggies? Into the Beluga. Want to do your hair and makeup? Beluga to the Rescue! There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t wonder - how do parents survive without it? I honestly don’t know.
Now, we’ve also added The Beluga Buckle Carrier, which works for kiddos up to 50 lbs! Your entire babywearing journey is covered with Beluga Baby, and I’m so happy we can continue to be a resource and a community for new parents. You’re not alone! And this new parent life isn’t for the faint of heart. It’s totally rock n’ roll, and babywearing is the tool to take you from overwhelmed to peaceful, from harried to hushed, and from anxiousness to peace.
Take a breath, take a walk, wear your baby.
