When it comes to babywearing in Switzerland, one brand of handmade babycarriers is outstanding: Tragebaby. Their carriers are all handmade and therefor unique products. There’s a regular release day of their individual range and it’s always a surprise what beautiful carriers the Tragebaby team designed.<\/p>\n

But it’s not also the uniqueness that attracts many babywearing parents but also the high comfort and the one and only size of LueMai and MilaMai. Both carriers are adjustable due to a second tunnel for the hip belt and a velcro to adjust the seat. There’s also a LueMai Simply<\/em> for some years now but I’ll talk about this one later.<\/p>\n

My first impression<\/h2>\n

It must have been back in 2011 after my second child was born and I’ve got roped into that babywearing thing. It was a time when WYIL<\/a> wasn’t doing videos yet so very few were available. YouTube was pretty empty or at least lacking good videos. But I found some of Maria L\u00fcscher, founder of Tragebaby, and those were quite helpful.<\/p>\n

One day she presented a MilaMai with a lot of pink combined with a hint of orange, black and turquoise if I remember correctly. I fell in love and asked if I could buy it. It turned out being a prototype but she sold it to me. So, this MilaMai was one of my first baby carriers.<\/p>\n

Rings make the Tragebaby carriers special<\/h2>\n

During the years, I’ve seen many carriers of Tragebaby and always owned some myself, or tried those of friends. The special features of their carriers are, above all: the rings (see picture on the right with purple strap<\/em>). There are small rings where the back panel and the shoulder straps are sewn on.<\/p>\n

This makes a very flexible angle for the shoulder straps so it fits narrow shoulders as well as broader ones. Another characteristic is the cord. Most straps and the belt are coated with it. I’ve seen some with jeans, once, too. The back panels are made of a double-layered wrap fabric. And not to forget the thick and comfy padding in the hipbelt that feels like an air cushion.<\/p>\n
