Find Your Carrier: Which Konny Baby Carrier Is Right for You?
Choose by your baby’s stage and where you will carry. For a newborn who wants to be held at home, choose FLEX SoftBreeze. For flights and warm days, choose FLEX AirMesh. Once your baby can sit up and wants to go up and down all day, choose the Dual Support Hip Seat. FLEX is an adjustable sling you pull on like a T-shirt. It holds your baby snug like a stretchy wrap, without a long piece of fabric to wind around you or trail on the floor, and it has no complicated buckles.

A fussy newborn at home: FLEX SoftBreeze
Your baby: A newborn who settles best in your arms
You: Home after delivery, with small tasks to do
Our pick: FLEX SoftBreeze
FLEX SoftBreeze is a soft, stretchy slip-on carrier that holds your newborn upright and snug against your chest, where they can hear your heartbeat and feel your warmth. Konny made it for the weeks after birth and for the times your baby just wants to be held. You pull it on like a T-shirt, tuck your baby in, and wrap the sash. Once your baby is snug, both your hands are free.
Good to know: Keep your baby’s face in view and their nose and mouth clear, and check on them often, as the American Academy of Pediatrics advises.
Flying with your baby: FLEX AirMesh
Your baby: From newborn on (up to 44 lbs / 20 kg)
You: Flying, or walking long airport halls
Our pick: FLEX AirMesh
FLEX AirMesh uses a lightweight, breathable mesh that dries quickly. It weighs 7 oz (195 g) and comes with a pouch, so it fits in your everyday bag. It has no complicated buckles, and it spreads your baby’s weight across your torso for the long walk to the gate.
Good to know: Traveling with a toddler who also wants to walk? The Dual Support Hip Seat is light and compact for grab-and-go.
A toddler who wants up and down all day: Dual Support Hip Seat
Your child: Sits up unassisted, from around 6 months (up to 44 lbs / 20 kg)
You: Picking them up and putting them down all day
Our pick: Dual Support Hip Seat
The Dual Support Hip Seat gives your child a non-slip bottom pad to sit on and a breathable 3D mesh back pad behind them, so your child sits steady on the seat. A wide shoulder strap spreads the weight, and the back pad helps reduce wrist strain. It adjusts with one hand and fits wearers from XS to 4XL, so both parents can use it. Wear it on either hip, as a side carry or face to face.
Good to know: A hip seat is not hands-free. Always keep one hand behind your child’s back, and lift them in and out with the buckle fastened. Read what to check in a toddler hip seat.
A minimalist, modern look: FLEX
You: Want a carrier that looks like clothing, not gear
Our pick: FLEX, in SoftBreeze or AirMesh
Unlike bulky carriers, the stretchy fabric wraps closely around your baby. Colors include black, charcoal, beige, mocha, and cream. Choose SoftBreeze for a soft poly-cotton blend you can wear all year, or AirMesh for a light mesh on warm days. Some parents who reviewed FLEX on this site call it “simple” and “stylish.”

FAQ
Is Konny FLEX a wrap or a sling?
Something in between. Konny calls FLEX an adjustable sling, and it holds your baby snug against your chest like a stretchy wrap. But there is no long fabric to wind around you, as with a traditional wrap, and unlike a ring sling, it goes over both shoulders. You pull it on like a T-shirt, tuck your baby in, and wrap the sash.
Can my partner and I share one Konny carrier?
Yes. Both parents can use FLEX. If you fall between sizes, choose XS-XL to share with a slimmer partner, or M-4XL if your bust is over 37 in (95 cm) or you share with a larger partner. The Dual Support Hip Seat is one size, from XS to 4XL.
How do I choose my FLEX size?
Choose by your usual top size, not your baby’s age or weight. XS-XL fits women’s US dress sizes 0 to 6, and M-4XL fits 8 to 18. See the Size guide.
