Patapaum's Baby and Toddler Carriers allow you to continue shopping, walking, hiking, or doing housework while you are being hugged by the one you love, your baby! The Patapum Baby Carrier offers soft, padded adjustable shoulder straps, and a supportive padded waist belt that distributes baby's weight to hips, not your back. The waist belt can be adjusted up to 55" which makes it perfect to share between wearers. The Patapum is made of 100% cotton shell and inside straps are made of breathable synthetics that can be machine washed in cold. The Patapum also offers a soft cotton mesh sleeping hood that can be tucked away when not in use. Another unique quality, is the body of the carrier can be tucked and snapped to the waist belt (sleeping hood must be detached).
