Babywearing Accessories

Slip covers, suck pads, etc! Anything babywearing related that isn't actually a carrier. Feel free to suggest additions in our Facebook group!

Slip Covers

• Beco Gemini
• KJAJ Mommy & Me Reversible Tula Cover
• Barefoot & Pregnant No-Sew Tula Slipcover (Frozen Edition!)
• Pitcher Family Adventures Tula Cover
• Made with love Ergo Slip Cover
• Drafting a slipcover pattern for SSC or Meh Dai (includes hood info too!)

Protip: a 5T sized t-shirt will fit over most SSCs and Mei Tais for an easy, no-sew slipcover! Similarly, a 5T or so sized hoodie can be used to add warmth (and a hood!) to a carrier in winter, or a rain coat to protect baby and carrier in the rain. For costumes and some other applications, a size Large dog outfit/costume will fit over most structured carriers as well.

Safety Note: If you choose to use a bag that attaches directly to your carrier, keep in mind that this may add extra strain to the straps. Always be sure that the combined weight of your child AND the attached bag do not exceed the recommended weight limits for your carrier.
