Kozy Carrier

Designed and owned by a work at home mom Kelley Mason, the Kozy Carrier is a modern version of the Asian Mei Tai, otherwise known as an Asian Baby Carrier (ABC).

In Kelley's words :

"What can I say? I love these carriers!

Seriously, I do. ;-) I made my first when my daughter was 5mo.

I was desperate for a two shoulder carrier as I had very bad back pain. I wore her on my back for hours every day (and during her morning nap). All of my other slings (most of them also homemade) started gathering dust. And my back actually started feeling better! I have done nearly everything with my little one on my back, even pressure-washing a house on a hot summer day

The Kozy is truly the most comfortable carrier I have ever used. Because it holds baby's weight over both of your shoulders and your waist, you can really wear it for hours without discomfort (I know because I have). It also provides head support should your baby fall asleep! You can position a sleepy baby deep in the fabric for head support, or simply fold the bottom and let them sit up higher for a better view out or more freedom of movement.

Also, not all carriers mesh well with all body types. But carriers like this can be used by big and small, short and tall. What I have learned so far is that most people love these types of carriers.

I will concede that this carrier is not for everyone. It does have a small learning curve and if you are not willing to put a few minutes into learning how to use it then maybe it isn't for you. But I don't want to scare you away. Once you get the hang of tying baby on your back it becomes quite natural and you will be able to do it in seconds--- literally.

I encourage everyone to do a bit of research on slings and carriers before making a purchase. There are so many out there to choose from and I want you to get one that is right for you. The Kozy is being worn by moms all over the world and chances are very good that it will also work for you. "
