In Basic:

COMPLETE - Designed as a full complete carrier

CARRY ON - Designed as a Toddler Carrier to be used from 7Kg

ESSENTIALS - Designed to be used with an Infant insert for carrying children under 7Kg

The COMPLETE has 6 carry positions: fetal, infant, toddler, hip and back.

The CarryOn has 3 carry positions: toddler, hip and back.

The ESSENTIALS has 4 carry positions: infant (with insert), toddler, hip and back.

Check our instructional video page which shows how to use the COMPLETE in all positions and settings.

The major difference between the COMPLETE Airflow and the COMPLETE All Seasons is that the Airflow is all mesh, and the All Seasons features a cotton covering, and a zip away panel that reveals the mesh under so you can control temperatures.

The following LÍLLÉbaby carriers can be used from 7 lb without the use of an infant insert or any additional accessories: COMPLETE™, Pursuit Collection, SeatMe™ Hip Seat, Eternal Love™ Ring Sling, Tie-the-Knot™ Wrap

The ESSENTIALS™ carrier requires the use of our Infant Pillow for infants below 15 lb.

The CarryOn™ toddler carrier is not suitable for use with infants and is not compatible with our Infant Pillow.

The CarryOn is designed for larger children, as it goes from 9Kg up to 27Kg. It has a roomier panel, and more adjustability in the straps to get a good comfortable fit. Children can be worn on the hip, the back or facing in, in 3 positions. 

The Complete has a fold down neck support so smaller babies can look out and be worn facing forward. Children can be worn facing in, and out, on the hip an on the back in a variety of ways because the width of the seat adjusts.
The Complete weight range is from 3Kg at birth to 20Kg with no need for an infant insert, you cannot use the CarryOn with children under 9Kg.

You can achieve a wider support in the narrow seat setting by trying one or more of the following techniques:

1. Position baby further away from belt: Ensure baby has a “deep seat” by positioning baby toward the wider part of the carrier panel rather than close to or on the waistband itself. Achieving this is easiest if your waistband is flat and snug to your waist or hip. Try moving the waist belt higher or lower, maintaining a flat, snug, and level fit, until you find a position that is both comfortable for the wearer and positions baby on the widest part of the seat. 

2. Widen seat by loosening seat flaps:

The Embossed LILLEbaby carrier is made with a soft, light and highly breathable microfiber fabric often used in sports gear. There is no padding between the layers in the body of the carrier which make it super lightweight and it allows more airflow than most padded cotton carriers, but not more breathable than our Airflow carrier.

Not at this time.

The COMPLETE is a 6-position carrier with a number of unique features. The ESSENTIALS was designed to offer the best solution in the more simplified, traditional soft structured carrier category. It features 4 carrying positions (with the optional infant insert) and includes different features than the COMPLETE

The interior harness strap in the COMPLETE carriers adds the necessary security to allow parents to use a rolled-up blanket of their choice in their carrier without it creating a fall hazard. The harness is not common in SSC in the US, but safety certifications in other countries, like Japan, have started requiring harness straps to reduce the risk of error when using an infant insert or positioning the baby in the carrier. We are proud to be among the first to offer this helpful safety feature.

It's Important to LILLEbaby that we make the safest products for children that we can. We test extensively for both voluntary and mandatory standards. Our products contain no lead, toxic dyes, phthalates, flame retardants and are CPSIA compliant and ASTM safety certified. The padding on our shoulder pads is comprised of a non-toxic PE, a material frequently used in baby mattresses. The waist belt is also made of non-toxic PEVA material. Many baby products (bibs etc.) are now using PEVA as it is considered “greener” and safer than PVC etc.

No matter where you live, LÍLLÉbaby has options to keep you and your little one comfortable in all kinds of climates!

• Hot: For structured carriers, we recommend the COMPLETE™ Airflow, as the torso panel is made entirely of 3D mesh. The COMPLETE™ Woven and Embossed, as well as any of our All Seasons carriers, also offer excellent fabrics and features that enhance breathability. Our Pursuit Collection is also designed with comfort in mind for adventures and excursions and offers ideal options for warmer climates. Additionally, both our Tie-the-Knot™ Wrap and Eternal Love™ Ring Sling offer lightweight fabrics that are perfect for hot weather.
• Cold: Any of our 100% cotton carriers will offer suitable warmth for climates that tend to be colder. The COMPLETE™ Original and Organic models and the ESSENTIALS™ Original would be excellent options, but as babywearing tends to be quite warm anyway, it would be hard to go wrong with any of our carriers! Just make sure your little one is dressed for the elements. We also offer our wonderfully cozy Hygge Warming Cover, the perfect accessory for chilly weather!
• Variable: LÍLLÉbaby specializes in products that fit a wide range of parenting choices and lifestyles, so it shouldn’t be a surprise when we say that any of our products would be perfect for a variable climate. The COMPLETE™ All Seasons is the original all-weather option and has become such a staple of our product offerings, that we have expanded our All Seasons options across multiple carrier lines. The COMPLETE™ Woven and Embossed also offer reliable year-round comfort. Finally, with the launch of our intuitively-designed Pursuit Collection, you can adventure in all sorts of weather, thanks to the responsive fabrics that enhance breathability.The Hygge Warming Cover is also the perfect accessory for converting any carrier into a year-round staple!

LÍLLÉbaby warrants that our products are free from manufacturing defects in material or workmanship for a period of one (1) year from the original date of purchase. We stand behind all of our products and will replace a defective product, free of charge, during the first 12 months after purchase. Proof of purchase is required. Normal wear, fabric fading, normal variations in fabric, and small threads that remain from the sewing process are not considered manufacturing flaws and are not covered under the warranty.

In the case of Limited Edition styles, LÍLLÉbaby cannot guarantee that there will be an identical carrier available for a replacement in the event of a defect. In this circumstance, we will work directly with the individual customer to determine an appropriate solution based on their particular situation (i.e. alternate replacement product, refund of original order, etc).

LÍLLÉbaby will not be held responsible for warranty coverage if the product has been altered in any way. This warranty only applies to the original owner of the product and to products purchased from an authorized retailer in New Zealand.

LÍLLÉbaby strives to offer products that fit a wide range of body types!

Plus-size parents: The waist belt on our COMPLETE™, Pursuit, ESSENTIALS™, and CarryOn™ carriers measures at about 52” at its fullest length, or women's size 22/24 in women’s pants. We also offer a waist belt extension strap that adds an additional 9 inches, and you can even use more than one at the same time, if needed!

Petite parents: Our carriers are highly adjustable for petite sizes. The shoulder straps can be crossed on our structured carriers, which adds a few additional inches of adjustability on either side. The webbing on our structured carriers and the panel on our Tie-the-Knot™ Wrap have elastic at the ends so any overage of webbing or fabric can be stowed away if not needed.

LÍLLÉbaby places an extremely high value on safety, particularly for the babies and children that are carried in our products.  In order to ensure the safety of our products, we test extensively to meet both mandatory and voluntary safety standards. Our products contain NO lead, toxic dyes, phthalates, or flame retardants and are CPSIA compliant and ASTM safety-certified.
