Dad Shirt Tutorial

The Dad Shirt is meant to be fitted, like your favorite spandex blend workout shirt, not your lounging t-shirt. It is made from a Polyester and Spandex blend to provide the necessary support and function of 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.

Ideal for newborns up to 15lbs.

Learn more about sizing in our size chart.

Put on your Dad Shirt as you would a regular shirt.
Hold baby close to you as you open the pouch of the Dad Shirt.
Lift baby up to the opening of the pouch and put baby into the Dad Shirt - feet first.
Allow baby to slide into the pouch as you pull the hood of the pouch up to the back of their head.
When you are ready to take baby out:

Pull the headrest down so that you can reach into the pouch.
Place your hands under your baby's armpits.
Gently lift baby out of the pouch.
Lift baby out of the pouch until their feet are completely out of the Dad Shirt.
Keep 'em close.

"This shirt has been everything to him. He puts it on as soon as he gets home from work every day and it soothes and has an instant calming effect! Heโ€™s said multiple times that any future dad he knows, he will buy this shirt as a gift for them too. Highly recommend and a million times easier than figuring out other carriers!"
