Your size
Designed for a fitted, workout-shirt feel — that snugness is what makes the baby carrier work. If it feels like a normal tee, it's too big.

As easy as putting on a shirt.
Why dads buy two
One on, one in the wash.
It's the shirt you wear every day for months, and newborns are messy. A second shirt means the carrier is never the thing in the laundry when you need it.

“I have the short sleeve and long sleeve versions of this shirt. They are incredible, they free up your hands so you can get some work done while the baby sleeps. I literally cannot get my son to fall asleep unless he is in this shirt then he's out in 5 minutes. I can't recommend these shirts enough for new dads. Major game changer.”

“Seeing our tiny baby cozy on my huge husband's chest was so delightful. He was worried about being able to pull the baby out, but it was actually pretty easy. We just need to make sure the baby's legs are in the M shape as he goes in. A really great Father's Day gift for a new dad :)”

“I don't normally write reviews when asked but this shirt really is great. It allows me to use my hands while still supporting the baby. I was worried about the support but with the built in straps the weight has plenty of support. The baby loves it also and falls asleep when cradled in the shirt. I will recommend it to anyone”

How it works
Pick baby up.
Slide her into the built-in pouch. One motion.
The support panels take her weight across your chest and shoulders.
Both hands back. Coffee, stroller, dog, door.

M-shaped position — Baby's knees sit higher than their bottom, forming an "M" shape.
General guidance only — always supervise and check your carrier's fit each time you wear it.

Questions
The four we get most.
How long can the shirt be used?
The pouch is intended for newborns between 7 and 15 lbs.
Is it safe?
Dad and Mom Shirts are third-party tested to meet CPSC safety standards (just like any other soft infant and toddler carrier), as well as being tested for lead, phthalates, and flammability.
How do I wash the Dad Shirt?
Machine wash on cold with like colors. Line dry when possible. Low heat iron if needed.
What if it doesn't fit?
Check the size chart first before you buy. If it still doesn't fit, reach out to us and we can help get the correct size.
Where do the baby's legs go since there are no leg holes?
While in the pouch, your baby will be in a squatting type of position, with their knees above their bottom (usually referred to as the "m" position). You can see and feel their legs from the outside to confirm the correct positioning and gently adjust their legs as needed.
