The Lillebaby Airflow Complete Carrier has six (!) carrying positions, fits newborns through 45 lbs, and includes tons of features making it comfortable for both you and your baby. Cool and supremely capable, the Airflow is as versatile as it is ventilated and ideal for sporty parents on the go. Breathable 3D mesh for maximum air circulation brings a breath of fresh air for you and baby. Here is what we love about Lillebaby:
- Six carrying positions without the need of an infant insert! 1) Newborn facing you on the front 2) Infant facing you on the front 3) Baby facing out on the front 4) Toddler facing you on the front 5) Hip Carry 6) Back Carry.
- Lumbar support for the wearer increases comfort and minimizes lower back strain.
- Enables wearer to carry "backpack style" or with straps crossed on the back.
- Dual adjustment buckles simplify breastfeeding and adjusting straps on the go.
- Sleeping hood is removable and very adjustable. It provides great head support for the newborn stage and also provides more discrete nursing and sun protection when needed.
- The torso can be made taller than many other soft-structured carriers. This provides more back and neck support for your baby, is more comfortable for them to sleep in, and also helps you feel more comfortable because it keeps babys weight over your hips rather than baby pulling away from you more.
- Two pockets! One large zippered pocket for storing your things and a small pocket to tuck the hood into.
- Shoulder straps and waist are wide and comfortably padded.
- NO extra infant insert needed for newborn babies. newborn strap is included.

For use from newborn through 45 lb.
Materials
Made from cotton and 3D mesh.
Lillebaby tests extensively for both voluntary and mandatory standards. Their products contain no lead, toxic dyes, phthalates, flame retardants and are CPSIA compliant and ASTM safety certified. The padding on the shoulder pads is comprised of a non-toxic PE, a material frequently used in baby mattresses. The waist belt is also made of non-toxic PEVA material. Many baby products (bibs etc.) are now using PEVA as it is considered “greener” and safer than PVC etc.

About Lillebaby
The idea that functional and beautiful everyday objects should be available to us all is a core theme in Scandinavian design. With a Scandinavian foundation, the LÍLLÉbaby brand has from its very conception been true to these roots and shown a warm passion for combining functionality and style.
Resonating with the Scandinavian values of quality of life, honesty, and a love for nature's beauty, LÍLLÉbaby strives to make baby products that bring this functional style to parents, anywhere. We wish parents to attain the simple luxury of keeping their baby close while building a natural bond, in perfect comfort and style.
Green Commitment:
Becoming a parent reminds us that we pass the world down to our children. To that end, LÍLLÉbaby is committed to minimizing our impact on the environment by bringing you environmentally responsible products and maximizing recycling in our production, packaging and day-to-day work. Though "organic" and "sustainable" are quite the buzzwords these days, they've been a part of our company vocabulary from the very beginning. We started almost 10 years ago with lots of optimism, but little money, so conservation was critical - it became a way of life. But the biggest impact is not our biking to work or reusing the printing paper, but the way we make our products. That’s why we design our products to be the most sustainable versions we can make. Our packaging and ink are tested for their decomposability performance in landfills to ensure they are not harmful to the environment. The materials we choose, the coloring we use, the production methods we employ, and the factories we select are where we make sure the products are healthy for our little customers, and where our green philosophy makes the biggest difference.
