I’ve designed your Kāhu Toddler Carrier so that it fits children from 18 months up to 4 years. After working as a carrying consultant for 7 years, I’ve seen how beneficial it is for parents and carers to have a comfortable carrier that supports their young child. Your Kāhu Toddler Carrier has a unique built-in cinching strap, so that you can quickly and easily adjust the width of the base to comfortably fit your child. You’ll use the narrowest setting for children around 18 months. You can then gradually widen the base as your child grows.
Your Kāhu Toddler Carrier holds your child in an ergonomic carrying position, supporting optimum hip and spine development. Your child’s hips and legs will form an “M” shape, with knees supported higher than hips.
Carry 3 ways with your toddler Kahu carrier! Our 3 carrying positions give you and child options. Your favourite carrying position will depend on what you find most comfortable, and what works best for your family at that time.
Front carry, facing parent/carer – all ages
In a Kahu Toddler Carrier, your child learns about the world from a safe place, and from your height. Your child learns language and a myriad of social cues when facing into you, and is still able to look around and take in the scenery. Your child may wish to pop one or both arms over the top of the carrier. This is safe, as long as the fabric reaches up to their armpit.
Hip carry – 4 months +
Our instinct is often to carry our toddler on our hip. As humans we’ve been doing it for millennia! You’ll find your child has a good view from your hip. With your Kahu todder carrier, your hands are both free to get stuff done.
Back carry – 6 months +
You may find it more comfortable to carry your child on your back. With KahuBaby, you can do this own your own, without assistance from another adult. We’ve included step-by-step instructions with your KahuBaby Carrier, and you can find our instructions here too. We recommend that your child is sitting unassisted before carrying him/her on your back.
We’ve designed your Kahu Toddler Carrier to be simply adjustable. This gives you more time to enjoy being together with your child. We’ve used Italian moulded and tested buckles for the waist and shoulder fastenings, for security and peace of mind.
Simple buckle fastenings and adjustments at the waist and for each shoulder strap enable you to get a comfortable fit every time.
The Kahu Toddler’s unique cinching adjustor for the base of your carrier enables you to simply alter the width of your Kahu Toddler Carrier. It makes your Kahu Toddler Carrier suitable for carrying young toddlers – just gently pull the webbing into a position to create a width that supports your child’s hips and legs from kneepit to kneepit. There are infinite size adjustments, all simply done by altering the length of the cinching webbing.
