Discover blissful comfort for you and your baby in a Wilkinet - but enjoy it with the peace of mind of our simple guarantee

If you decide to try the Wilkinet today you can take your time to make your mind up about it.

We know some parents buy a Wilkinet while they are pregnant or want to be able to try the carrier in several different situations with their baby.

With that in mind we offer a simple guarantee: once you receive the carrier you can keep it for 4 months while you make up your mind.  If at the end of that time (or earlier) you decide the carrier doesn't suit you (for any reason at all) simply send it back to us in a re-saleable condition and we will refund you immediately.

We are happy to offer this extended trial period for two reasons:

  • We want you to feel confident in your choice and know that we're interested in your concerns and needs.

  • Very few people need to use the refund.  The Wilkinet is a wonderfully comfortable and versatile carrier and most who try it - love it, keep it and recommend it.

So what is it about the design of the Wilkinet that makes it so convenient and comfortable?

  • The straps wrap around you and your baby.  This distributes their weight more evenly and stops it dragging painfully on your shoulders and neck 
  • There are no buckles or clips to dig into you or your baby (that also means you won't have to fiddle around readjusting it every time it passes between you and your partner)
  • Leg, back, neck and head support and protection for your baby keeps them snug and safe
  • Your baby is held in a natural sitting position with their legs and pelvis supported by the padded base strap
  • Using long straps instead of buckles means the carrier adapts simply to parents of all sizes (great for sharing with a partner or friends)
  • Most of your baby's weight is transferred to your hips and legs (not shoulders and neck) so it's more comfortable for you and avoids neck ache.
  • The Wilkinet baby carrier adapts from birth to toddler allowing you to comfortably carry your child for many months:

your back:

The Wilkinet is frequently praised by Health Professionals:  

"I am a huge fan - as both an osteopath and a parent. Sally's genius was in devising a "contraption" that:
  •  is good for the baby - the baby's weight is carried on the thighs and buttocks instead of the perineum;
  •  is good for the parent - the shoulder straps only stop the baby falling forward and all the weight is transferred directly to the pelvis, while, providing the waist straps are fitted low enough, it also acts as a sacro-iliac belt, helping to stabilise the sacro-iliac joints (especially important for a nursing mother, whose ligaments will tend to be lax);

    The terrible thing about many clip fastening type carriers is that the baby's weight is all taken on your shoulders, which means it is all transmitted down your entire spine. In addition, the weight is in front of you so your shoulders are pulled forward and your back muscles have to work overtime keeping you upright. I managed less than 10 minutes using a clip fastening baby carrier before getting backache.

    The Wilkinet transfers the weight directly onto the pelvic bones (your hips) and from there to the legs, so none of the baby's weight has to be carried through the spine, so there is hardly any load placed on the spinal column at all."

"As a physiotherapist working in Women's Health and a relatively new Mum, I have tried out several slings/baby carriers and I can say without doubt that the Wilkinet was the one that I felt provided the best support and comfort for both mother and baby."

"I THINK IT IS SPLENDID - MUCH THE BEST ON THE MARKET - I recommend the WILKINET in preference to other baby carriers currently available (that is upright carriers) because of its design. I like the way the shoulder straps stop the baby’s head lolling sideways. Some baby carriers have no side protection, if the baby goes to sleep its head just ‘falls out’. The straps are well padded so do not press into the (parent’s) shoulder girdle and, most importantly of all, the baby does not hang on its pelvic floor. The base strap supports under its thighs and under its bottom. The tie straps hold the baby’s lower spine snug against its (parent’s) body, no other carrier that I have seen fulfils these latter essentials."
