Today we restocked our BabyHawks in all the colors that were so popular they sold out!

There are 21 colors in stock now – half our selection is shown below. These are stunning in person.

Every baby carrier is suitable from birth to 40 pounds. Babyhawk mei tais are versatile to match your outfits and the places you go since each carrier has one side with a design and one side of solid color. This is really helpful when two adults want to share one carrier but have different preferences about the design.

Chocolate, Espresso, and Olive solids are in stock as well.

Did you notice? We slipped some Babyhawk brand  “Oh Snap” carriers into our baby carrier section!

The Babyhawk brand is a very respected little company in California, ran by the mom who founded it. They’ve been making mei tai carriers for years and they just launched the new Oh Snap. We were among the first to get it in store and currently there are  8 colors here for immediate shipment.  (Scroll down for UPDATED INFO)

The OhSnap fits babies from 15-45 pounds using either a front carry or backpack position.  It is comparable to a Babyhawk Mei Tai in its style and design, except there are no long straps to tie, and it offers good waistbelt support for carrying older children or for carrying a child for long time periods such as hiking or day trips. The adjustability is meant to fit a women’s size 0 to 22.  The carrier is not meant to be used with newborns, and no, there aren’t any snaps on it, just buckles.

Updated August 11 2010 – The Oh Snaps are getting popular! We now have them in 5 solid colors and 20 fabric prints. These are in-stock items, no waiting. The solid color carriers are black, espresso, steel, charcoal, and caramel.See photos of the fabric print choices below. the only one not pictured yet is the Apple viceroy. Remember, if you have a small baby, the regular Babyhawk is right for you, the Oh Snap is only for older babies, like one year olds and toddlers. you can begin using it with a baby who is sitting up and weighs 15 pounds, but really the carrier design is optimized more for a larger baby than that. We do have one OhSnap baby carrier available to try out in our physical store, but the rest of our supply is in the shipping location so it is better to order online.

Just snapped this pic of the Zebra print babyhawk. Love it!

(only 2 in stock)

We’ve had a few new colors of Babyhawk in the store that I just finally put online today.  Check out the Babyhawk area, you’ll be able to tell the new ones because they have swatch photos posted instead of our homemade photos of the carrier on a manequin like all the other Babyhawks show. Sorry, that’s just been pushed down the to-do list so long, I thought it was best to at least make them available for order even if the photos weren’t done yet.  If that’s a big deal, just say so and I’ll try to get to it sooner!

The all-Camoflauge one has been really popular, – now I’m just curious how the zebra print does. Do you like it?

Today we have 6 new babyhawk colors in stock and 4 bestselling babyhawks are now here in the toddlerhawk version as well!  Every babyhawk and toddlerhawk in store is reversible to a solid color.

Babyhawk carriers are a long-established brand in comfortable infant and toddler slings. They’re actually a Mei Tai, meaning that they tie on to you with two easy straps, not buckles or snaps or rings.  Once you try once or twice, it is so fast and easy to tie the waist straps and then the shoulder straps and you’re done – and it is perfect for sharing the carrier with another adult of a different size, since there are no settings or buckles to change between you.  The babyhawk includes a folding headrest for infant head support and is also useful for older babies or toddlers who nap in the carrier. The two-shoulder design makes it effective and comfortable even for growing toddlers. Babyhawks are meant for front, back, or side positions and are quite reasonably priced at $80 for about 2 years of useful life with your child, longer if you save it for a future little sibling.
