- Rated 5 out of 5 stars3 weeks agoI love my wildbird so much 🥹🫶🏻
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.
KVKayla V.Verified BuyerWas this helpful? - Rated 5 out of 5 stars1 month agoYou 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!
BBeeVerified BuyerWas this helpful? - Rated 4 out of 5 stars1 month agoVery comfortable
I enjoy wearing this carrier! My baby enjoys being in the carrier and I have worn it for hours hiking and at the zoo and it has been more comfortable than others I have worn. My only critique is that I wish the front panel was longer. I haven’t seen other reviews talking about this so I am not sure if my baby has a long torso but he is 10 months and he constantly gets his arms out and over the top of the carrier.
CJCarley J.Was this helpful? - Rated 3 out of 5 stars1 month agoColor is different in person
I was on the waitlist for this colorway (archer) for quite a while so when it went back in stock I bought it right away, in the wild bird photo it looks more of a lighter linen with blue stripes being brighter. I was a little disappointed because In person it’s a lot more of a grey linen and the blue stripes look very grey.
This is what it looks like next to a pure white.
Just be aware that this is not an off-white or light beige color But If you prefer a more grey linen, this is the one for you!
