        Beautiful!

        my daughter and i love this carrier! She sleeps long and hard every time she’s in it and seems so content. I love the design and the fabric are clearly high quality! It’s pretty durable and comfortable for the most part, but i wish the head support was a little bit stronger ~ i’d say other carriers might be better if the goal is using it for long walks/hikes or workouts, but it’s a great day to day / leisure carrier for home & short outings!

        The perfect carrier

        I have picked up quite a few carriers for my first baby and this one really checked all the boxes. One of the biggest pluses is the ability to put it on really easily on your own. I have another similar style carrier and while it will serve me well for other things, it’s very difficult to put on by myself. My kid prefers carrier naps throughout the day so I’ve used the Wildbird one many, many times and I’m in love. Plus it’s cute and stylish and makes me feel put together!

        Beautiful and very functional

        I was gifted a different carrier that sells for half the price of this, and I thought for sure this one couldn’t be all that much better, but the difference is remarkable. I can comfortably carry my baby for hours, and the adjustable seat works so well for her hips. The cosmo fabric is stunning! I absolutely love the shimmer to it. Even my husband loves using it.

        I want to love it but don't .

        I really wanted this carrier to be the end all be all but it's not. Loved it at first but the more I wear it the more flaws I notice. If you are not prone to back and shoulder pain you could probably get away with it. I have found where the strap connects to the main body of the carrier is too narrow. It also turns on it's side instead of staying flat like other carriers. This causes the shoulder straps to ride up more and the baby has more room to lean out putting stress on the back. You'll notice other brands are wider at this junction and lay flat. I discovered for my shoulders I prefer the h strap instead of cross/x straps like this one. I do love the fabric and color options. Good luck to the brand! I do like my Wild bird carrier wrap combo and wish I would of just put my money towards that one.

        Best Baby Carrier

        Hands down, this is the best baby carrier on the market! I have three different designs and love each one! Super comfortable, beautiful print, high quality fabric. My baby girl loves it too and takes daily naps in it. Perfect solution for moms on the go!

        I love my wildbird so much šŸ„¹šŸ«¶šŸ»

        The Aerial has quickly become my favorite WildBird carrier. It’s soft, supportive, and somehow makes every moment; whether we’re walking through the garden or just rocking before nap…feel sacred. I love how close it keeps my baby, how weightless it feels, and how beautifully it fits into our rhythm of gentle motherhood.

        You need this carrier!

        I started with the aerial wrap with my second child because I had another brand standard carrier with my first and was not happy with the stability and support for babies under 10 lb. I was so happy with the wrap that I then transitioned to this carrier as my child reached 3 1/2 months and man I just LOVE it. Its so supportive for baby and cute for me! Don’t second guess purchasing this carrier. Its worth it!
