Close Caboo Lite Baby Carrier, this streamlined design makes it the perfect option for tiny newborns from 5lbs+/2.

Alice Burrows says: I think this is a fantastic product for a newborn baby and for the first couple of months. We recommend that if you have bought a complete set of nappies then just wash one or two to see how you get on with them. The Caboo is a two piece cotton baby sling that can be used from the newborn days through to around 3 years. The Caboo is ideal for wearing around the house, allowing me to get jobs done while keeping Katie close, and she likes feeling involved in what I’m doing.

With its soft and supportive lightweight fabric, our Caboo baby carrier is incredibly comfortable to wear. I only received the carrier when my baby was a little older but it was still useful in that I could get out and about knowing my baby was comfortable. We test this by using a 15kg test dummy and jolting it up and down to replicate movement by the baby and parent.

A straightforward option from newborn onwards, easy to get to grips with and folds up into its own little bag! Compared to a stretchy wrap you may find that your baby starts to feel heavy sooner in the Caboo, because of the lower level of back support. Lite still goes between parents with ease thanks to our clever rings but less fabric does mean the sizing isn't as generous as our other newborn Caboo styles. For the best support for you and your baby, the key is getting the whole thing tight enough to hold your baby snugly against your chest.

When correctly fitted in a Close Caboo your baby will be beautifully supported in the soft, stretchy fabric. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. One of the questions I am asked most frequently asked is “What is the difference between the Caboo+ Organic and the NCT Caboo?It all tucks away nicely in to a neat bag (which is also part of the carrier so no unnecessary material) It hardly takes up any room so can be transported in a baby change bag or I just keep mine at the bottom of the push chair in case my baby needs contact with me.

Of the Caboo’s five positions, Katie is already too big for the foetal hold, and she doesn’t like the inward-facing position either, seeming too restricted. Both are jersey knit fabrics but while the Organic is 98% organic cotton, 2% polyester, the NCT is 60% cotton and 40% polyester*.We check how easy it is to get the sling or carrier on or off, when wearing both on your front and on your back. We check how well each baby sling or carrier fits the wearer, based on a range of body sizes for both men and women, how easy the adjustments are to get a good fit, weight distribution, padding and lumbar support. Amy Fowler says: I would choose this product as it’s very versatile and can be used at any time around the house or out and about. The Caboo light is made of good quality material that feels very soft and it is a breathable fabric so the baby will not overheat.
