Let me tell you about a fantastic Soft Structured Carrier called the Pikkolo!  Designed by a sweet mama named Beth, and worn by discerning babywearing parents all over the world, the Pikkolo SSC has a few key features unlike any other of our favorite soft carriers!  Being a hybrid between a mei tai and a standard soft structured carrier, the Pikkolo waistband enables the wearer to buckle the strap at the hips, waist, or even higher for a tiny baby due to the basic waist strap webbing!  No padding here - the Pikkolo waistband is more like a mei tai with a buckle!   The dual adjustability and Pikkolomemory foam on the shoulder straps promises a perfect fit for you and baby!



I hear a lot from moms that their babies LOVE to face forward or they get CRANKY when they are faced in, and whether I agree with carrying your baby facing forward or not, it's nice to have a great carrier to recommend for that purpose!  The Pikkolo has a very unique seat that adjusts for front facing babies.  Cinching the front panel creates a narrow seat to have baby facing against when looking out at the world.  When you choose to turn baby around to snuggle against your chest again, the cinch can be loosened again for the full coverage of baby's body - from knee to knee!  Even at the Pikkolo's narrowest, the seat is wider than the disdained Baby Bjorn which dangles babies by their crotches with absolutely no support at all!  Your baby's legs will still maintain that safe, ergonomic bent position even while front facing out in the Pikkolo.



Available in 4 gorgeous color combinations, the Pikkolo features a detachable hood, removable chest strap, the adjustable seat, dual adjusting shoulder straps, and an optional  additional waist support belt for extended babywearing past 12 months or 18 pounds!  Every babywearer will enjoy wearing their baby on their front, front facing out, hip, or back in the super sleek, super comfortable Pikkolo baby carrier!
