Product Description


The Wilkinet Baby Carrier was designed by mother, Sally Wilkins. It gently cocoons a 5 lb new-born baby, yet is strong enough to carry a chunky toddler. It is versatile, the new-born can be snuggled up against your body, the 3 month + baby can face outwards and the heavier or older baby can be worn on your hip or back.


Good support is provided for your baby as their weight is carried on the thighs and buttocks instead of the perineum. Also designed to meet your comfort needs, the shoulder straps 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 (important for a nursing mother, whose ligaments will tend to be lax). Plus there are no moving parts - an engineering tour-de-force. That means guaranteed 100 per cent reliability with no maintenance.


"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." - Martin Grundy, Osteopath (specialist in pregnancy and postnatal treatments).


Working like a wraparound shawl, but without the parent being engulfed in wide bands of cloth, it holds your baby onto and against your upper body. The wide well-padded shoulder straps and wraparound method of tying ensures evenly distributed weight with no dragging on your neck, shoulders or back. Your baby is gently supported by the cushioned head, back and leg areas. In the early weeks, when you carry your baby facing in on the front, the Wilkinet will cuddle your baby snugly and firmly, supporting under his/her bottom and thighs and providing support for his/her back and head as if being held in your arms. There are no rings, zips, clips or buckles to fiddle about with and nothing to break and render it useless (one happy user reported using the Wilkinet for herself, friends and family for 10 babies over 12 years).


Available in a high quality twill weave cloth with a choice of three colours, navy, black and red plus an organic cotton version in chocolate. In addition, navy and black come in an extra large version for women size 20+ and men with a chest size of 44 inches +.

    • But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did! Just discovered I forgot to post the above  last night, and now it's overtaken by long posts.  I don't have sufficient knowledge  to counter some of what has been said above, some of which appears to be opinion rather than facts, so it would be pointless for me to say anything else.
    • I am sure our lovely Evri delivery team, who do a firkin hard job, take the time between drops to read the East Dulwich Forum 🤫
    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.
