Fit Guide
The Right Fit = Real Support
The Dad Shirt is meant to be fitted, like your favorite spandex blend workout shirt, not your lounging t-shirt.
The Dad Shirt is a Baby Carrier
In order for the Dad Shirt to function properly and securely hold your newborn, it must be form fitting to your body. A loose shirt will not function properly.
Fits babies from newborn to 15lbs
The pouch extender is meant to allow taller babies to remain secure in the pouch, it is not intended to support a newborn’s head and neck.
CPSC Safety Tested
You should be able to kiss the top of your baby's head when wearing the Dad Shirt correctly.

FAQs
Please read our FAQs page to find out more.
How is the Dad Shirt supposed to fit?
The Dad Shirt should fit close to your body—like a performance workout shirt, not a loose tee. It needs to be snug to securely support your baby and function properly as a carrier. A loose fit won’t provide the support needed for safe babywearing.
What if I am between sizes?
Since the Dad Shirt runs a little small and is meant to be fitted, we would recommend sizing up if you're between sizes!
What's the weight limit of the Dad Shirt pouch?
The pouch is intended for newborns between 7 and 15 lbs. For most babies, that's at least for the first 3-4 months (some longer!) The shirt can also be worn without a baby, and no one will notice!
Can I walk around with both hands free?
The pouch does support much of your newborn's weight, however, we still recommend that you always keep one hand on the baby while they are in the pouch.
How do I wash the Dad Shirt?
Machine wash on cold with like colors. Line dry when possible. Low heat iron if needed.
