Give another family the opportunity to experience the joy and benefits of babywearing. Your gently used carrier can help caregivers bond with their children, navigate everyday tasks hands-free, and feel supported by a community that cares.
Why Donate a Carrier?
Your donation directly supports families who may not otherwise have access to a quality baby carrier. By giving a carrier a second life, you:
- Provide Essential Support: Help caregivers carry their babies comfortably and safely, regardless of financial limitations.
- Promote Sustainability: Reduce waste and extend the life of your baby carrier, contributing to a more sustainable, eco-friendly future.
- Foster Community: Be part of a movement that prioritizes connection, care, and sharing within the babywearing community.
What Carriers Do We Accept?
We accept a wide variety of baby carriers in good condition, including:
- Soft Structured Carriers (Buckle Carriers)
- Ring Slings
- Meh Dais
- Wraps (Stretchy or Woven)
- Hybrid Carriers
Carriers should be clean and free of major defects, such as broken buckles or torn fabric. We particularly welcome ergonomic models that cater to various ages and stages, ensuring we can meet the diverse needs of families.

There are 2 ways to join the waitlist:
- Join our membership program and immediately get access to our member benefits including exclusive discounts, educator support, and private Facebook community (in addition to access to the rental collection). Members can join the waitlist for no charge (you pay the shipping fee and any upgrade fees when it’s time to ship), however you must still be an active member when you turn comes and throughout the rental period. Example: if you joined as a monthly member 11/18 and got the carrier 12/8 the carrier would be due to be mailed back 12/18 unless you continued your membership
- Place an order for the rental at the standard rental rate and shipping by putting this item in your cart and completing the order. The carrier will ship when your position on the waitlist is reached.
You can also wait and join our membership program closer to when the carrier will become available. However, it is possible that another person may request to be put on the waitlist (using option 1 or 2 above) between now and then in which case you may have to wait longer to borrow that carrier.
