custom carrier extras

Extra Features Available For Custom Carriers

Base prices for wrap conversions can be found on the wrap conversion page and base prices for other fabrics can be found on the strap fabric page.

Let me know if you have any preferences for how you would like the pattern to be laid out or if you would like me to use the reverse side of the wrap (on the reverse side of the carrier for example). The carrier will have a small curved top edge as standard (other options are a straight top edge or a tall headrest).

Applique - from $15 for simple shapes and $40 and up for something more complicated (like a scene or a design with lots of individual elements). Contact me for a quote.

Quilt a design on the waist - from $20 (contact me for a quote)

Measurements for half buckles- The mimimum length the standard waistband cinches to is 71cm including buckles (the padded section is 63cm). Petite waist is 7.6cm shorter and extra long waist is 7.6cm longer (padded section). Total length of waist on half buckles including webbing is 157cm. I can customise any of these measurements.

No webbing waist (for half buckles and full buckles) - The no webbing waist ties are 3.5"/9cm wide (double layer) or 11-15/4-6" wide (depening on the thickness of the wrap). It is 70" 170cm long which is long enough to remove the buckle and tie too (but I can make that shorter or longer if you prefer). The waist is a little harder to adjust through the buckle because the ties are wider than webbing (but it's easy to adjust it to the right setting before you put your baby in). $5

Ring Waist $20. The total length of the waist is 145cm. If you prefer a different length let me know.

Rings on shoulder straps (ring meh dai/ring tai) - $35. Choose 1.1m straps for convenient straps which won't touch the ground when putting your baby on your back. For front carry and enough length for fancy finishes 1.5 - 1.7m works well. Choose unpadded wrap straps, padded to wrap straps (flared straps), or combination style straps.

Hybrid waist (no extra cost)

Wrap fabric chest strap (for full buckles and reverse half buckle) $7

Fit adjuster/Adjustable strap (for full buckle/reverse half buckles) to adjust the padded part of the strap between two different sized wearers using a strap adjuster. Straps will adjust from 35.5cm/14" - 46cm/18" (or you can choose a custom length). See photo below. Your carrier will no longer be reversible if you add this feature. $7

Longer shoulder/waist strap - Meh dai/half buckle standard shoulder strap is 203cm (80" ) and a tied waist strap is 178cm /70" (medium) - 198cm/78" (standard).

Shoulder Strap Options for meh dai/half buckle:
Regular padded straps (11cm entire length of the strap and padded over your shoulder) - no extra cost
Unpadded wrap straps - no extra cost
Flared straps - flares out to wrap style straps after a padded shoulder section $12
Combination straps (hybrid between a wrap strap and a padded strap with some extra width to spread over your shoulder) $15

Adjustable base

The base can be cinched to a narrower width so baby can be carried with legs out from a younger age. Velcro stops the fabric from sliding back when used in the widest setting. Please note the velcro is now on the inside of the waist belt not on the front as in the photo.

Framed Panel

Print fabric sewn in to create a framed effect.

Adjustable Height

Use a drawstring to cinch to a smaller body panel height.

Hoodie Style Hood

'Hoodie' style sleeping hood. The adjustable version has adjustable ties which shorten the length of the hood for use with a younger baby.

Pixie Hood

A cute pointy hood. Like the hoodie hood this is a large hood and the adjustable hood option is recommended for a better fit for smaller babies.

Adjustable Hood

A hood which adjust to a smaller length with ties

Extra long flat hood

Can provide some extra coverage for toddlers and preschoolers.

Extra long pixie hood

The second photo is a shorter version (but still long) and the style I will use but if you would like to use the even longer version in the first photo just let me know.

Animal Ears

Pictured - bear ears, angel wings and giraffe ears and horns, dino spike, unicorn horn and ears, cat ears, reindeer ears ,and dragon spikes. Insterested in another style of ears? - just ask!

Pintucked Hood

wave pintucks

small pintucks (pictured combined with a chevron style hood)

Headrest

Adds extra height for extra back/head support. With a printed fabric this style can have a solid colour headrest and a print that goes across the width of the carrier only or you can choose for the print to extend up to the headrest to cover the whole panel. A hood may be added (a detachable hood works well).

Half Buckle

Add a buckle and webbing to the waist instead of ties.

Reverse Half Buckle

Buckle shoulder straps and tie waist.

Ring Waist

Ring Meh Dai/Ring Tai

Hybrid Waist

This waist has a closed cell foam in the centre and padded with fleece across your hips. It can offer extra support for very heavy children by helping to transfer more weight to your hips. The hybrid waist can't be rolled like the padded waist can.

No Webbing Waist

This waist has a buckle but it can be taken off and the waist tied if preferred.

Solarveil Mesh Panel

Solarveil panels are available in beige, green, yellow, and pink - this airy mesh is great for hot weather wearing. The hood can be rolled out up out of the way to expose more of the panel if desired.

Fit adjuster/Adjustable Strap

Shortens the padded section of the shoulder strap

Removable Hood

Hood attaches with tabs and snaps.

Corner Suck Pads
