How to care for your Karē baby carrier

Welcoming a new baby into your life is an incredible journey, and your Karē baby carrier is here to make it a little easier. Not only does it allow you to keep your little one close to you, but it also frees up your hands for the myriad of daily tasks. At Karē we believe in three basic principles: We Karē for all, We keep it natural and We love to move. These values are woven into every stitch of our wrap, creating a deep connection that supports you and your child through every adventure. To help keep your wrap in tip-top shape, here's a fun and easy guide to caring for your wrap.

1. A quick check before every adventure

Just as a superhero needs to check his or her equipment before heading out, you should give your baby carrier a once-over:

・Straps and buckles: Think of them as your trusty sidekicks. Make sure they're all secure and show no signs of wear and tear.
・Fabric: Look out for any tears or fraying. If you spot any damage, it's time for a pit stop (otherwise known as a repair).

2. Keeping it fresh: Cleaning your baby carrier

Your baby carrier gets a lot of wear and tear, from spilt milk to drool. Here's how to keep it clean without too much fuss:

Spot cleaning

A damp cloth is your best friend. Quickly wipe away small stains and dirt to keep your baby carrier looking new.

Machine wash

When it's time for a deeper clean, follow these steps:

・Settings: Use a gentle cycle on cold water (no hotter than 30°C or 86°F).

・Detergent: Choose a mild liquid detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners - they're not friendly to your garment.

・Preparation: Close all buckles, loops and buttons before throwing in the wash to avoid damage.

Drying

・Air drying: Hang your carrier in the shade to dry. Sunbathing may be fun, but not for your bag!

・Avoid the tumble dryer: The high heat can damage the fabric and buckles.

・Iron: Use a hot steam setting and avoid ironing directly on buckles or elasticated parts.

3. Storing your carrier

When your adventures are on hold, store your carrier like a pro:

・Keep it cool: Store away from direct sunlight, moisture and extreme heat.

・Tidy up: Fasten all buckles and straps to keep everything tidy and ready for your next trip.

4. Safety first, always

Your baby's safety is our top priority. Here's how to keep things safe and snug:

・Perfect positioning: Make sure your baby's legs form an 'M' shape and his or her head is supported but free to move.

・Stay alert: Check regularly that your baby can breathe easily and that he's comfortable.

・Frequent checks: Check regularly that all buckles and straps are securely fastened during use.

5. Embrace the Karē Spirit

At Karē, we believe in more than just carrying your baby; we believe in carrying you through the beautiful journey of parenthood. Our mantra is simple yet powerful:

・I'll carry you. I'll care for you. I support you.

These words embody our commitment to being there for you and your baby, offering a deep connection that will last a lifetime.
