Wilkinet Organic and Fairtrade Cotton Baby Carrier, Baby Sling and Toddler Carrier

The Wilkinet Baby Carrier is an award-winning design, recommended by healthcare professionals. The new Wilkinet Organic Cotton Baby Carrier is Fair Trade certified.

Designed by Sally Wilkins when, she claims, 'necessity became the mother of invention'! The Wilkinet Carriers gently cocoon a 5lb newborn baby yet are strong enough to carry a chunky toddler.

They are extremely versatile, the newborn can be snuggled up against your body, the three-month plus baby can face outwards, and the heavier or older baby can be worn on your hip, or back.

Colour: Chocolate Brown

Fair Trade and Eco specifics:

Certified fairtrade and organic cotton grown in India. Our supplier offers the farmer a price that more than covers the cost of production, but beyond that, they work towards reducing production costs, and increasing profits for the farmers.
Dyed at an environmentally friendly facility in Pondicherry (India), which has a municipal effluent plant for all waste water. The main byproduct is salt - this is pumped back into the sea - not onto farmlands or into rivers. The dyes are non-azo reactive dyes and do not contain any heavy metals.
The cotton is woven in a village co-operative in rural Southern India. All weavers are guaranteed above average wages, consistent work and positive working conditions (no sweat shops or child labour) - many farmers in the area are able to supplement their diminishing incomes with textile work to stay out of debt.
Shipped, by boat, to the UK with fewer emissions.
The Wilkinet is made in the UK - in a low-employment area of England, offering well-paid, skilled work for people who might otherwise be unemployed.
Packaged in a natural cotton, drawstring bag - no plastic or cardboard to throw away - and the bag is a great way to keep your carrier clean when not in use.
The carrier lasts and lasts
