Quick answer
Slide the Carrier Pocket onto your baby carrier's waistband before putting on the carrier, then load it with small essentials like your phone, keys, or a diaper for hands-free access.
Why use a carrier pocket instead of a diaper bag?
A carrier pocket keeps your most-used items within arm's reach without the bulk of a full diaper bag. It's ideal for quick errands or walks where you only need a phone, keys, and a single diaper.
What you can store in a carrier pocket
The structured design includes an internal pocket for small valuables. You can fit a smartphone, a small wallet, keys, a pacifier, or a travel-size diaper. Avoid overloading it with heavy items that could unbalance the carrier.
How to attach and use your carrier pocket
- Slide the pocket onto the waistband: Open the back of the Carrier Pocket and slide it onto the waistband of your baby carrier before you put the carrier on. Position it at the front or side, depending on your reach preference. Attaching it before wearing the carrier is easier than trying to add it while the carrier is on.
- Secure the pocket in place: Make sure the pocket sits flat against the waistband and doesn't sag. The structured design helps it stay put, but you can adjust the position by sliding it side to side. If the pocket shifts during use, reposition it between the waistband and your body for a snug fit.
- Load your essentials: Place items in the main compartment first, then use the internal pocket for smaller valuables like keys or a credit card. Avoid placing sharp objects that could poke through the fabric. Keep the load light—a heavy pocket may pull on the waistband and affect carrier balance.
- Access items while babywearing: With one hand, unzip or reach into the pocket while supporting your baby with the other arm. Practice a few times at home before using it out and about. Always maintain a secure hold on your baby when reaching for items.
