Quick answer

Choose the Moss Cord Clip 2.0 for a secure, inward-facing carry from birth, or the Moss Cord FORWARD Clip if your baby is ready to face the world and you want a quick on-off clip design.

Carry positions and baby age

The Clip 2.0 is designed for parent-facing carries only—it does not offer a forward-facing position. This makes it ideal for newborns and younger babies who benefit from close contact and a supported ergonomic seat. The FORWARD Clip, as its name suggests, is built specifically for forward-facing use, letting your baby look ahead while staying close to you. It suits older infants who have good head control and are curious about their surroundings.

Ease of use and fit

Both carriers use a clip-on style for quick on-and-off, but the FORWARD Clip is even simpler because it is designed without the extra adjustment panels of the Clip 2.0. The Clip 2.0 offers a more customised fit for different body types and baby sizes, while the FORWARD Clip prioritises speed and convenience for forward-facing sessions.

Trade-offs at a glance

  • Clip 2.0: Inward-facing only: Provides a secure, ergonomic inward carry from birth but lacks a forward-facing option. Best for newborns and parents who prioritise close contact.
  • FORWARD Clip: Forward-facing only: Designed specifically for forward-facing carries; quick to put on and take off, but does not support inward-facing or newborn use. Best for older babies with good head control who want to look around.
  • Ease of use: Both clip on and off easily. The FORWARD Clip is slightly simpler because it has fewer adjustments, but the Clip 2.0 offers a more tailored fit for different body shapes. Consider how much adjustability you need versus how quickly you want to get out the door.
