The Lark uses an apron-style design with flexible, soft, and wide straps that distribute your baby’s weight across your upper back and shoulders, avoiding strain on your lower back. Unlike bulky carriers with thick waistbands, the Lark offers a more ergonomic and comfortable experience, allowing for long, pain-free babywearing sessions.
Frequently Asked Questions
At hope&plum, we believe in celebrating and accommodating all body types. Our Lark Baby Carrier comes in two sizes, Short and Long, to ensure a perfect fit for everyone.
- Short: Best suited for those who wear fitted t-shirts in women's sizes XXS-L.
- Long: Ideal for those who wear fitted t-shirts in women's sizes XL-6X.
To achieve the best fit, it's important to select the size based on your regular fitted t-shirt size. There’s no need to size up!
If you’re unsure which size to choose, our team is here to help! Reach out to us for personalized fitting advice.
The Lark Carrier is safety tested for babies and toddlers from 10 to 45 pounds!
It has a taller panel for longevity, so we find it works best with kids wearing size 3m clothes and up!
No, you can’t! While there are carriers out there that let you face your baby towards the world while wearing, the Lark is not one of them!
We wrote more on why we designed it without that feature here.
We find most families do just fine with front and back carry options. If you find your little one is eager to look at the world when being worn, we recommend a back carry or trying out a hip carry in one of our ring slings!
The Lark Baby Carrier is designed with your comfort in mind, especially during those long babywearing sessions.
Here’s why it’s so breathable:
- Natural Fibers: We use high-quality, natural fibers that allow for excellent airflow, keeping both you and your baby cool and comfortable.
- No Bulky Waistband: The Lark's sleek design eliminates the need for a bulky waistband, reducing heat buildup and ensuring a more comfortable wearing experience.
- No Foam Materials: By avoiding foam, we've created a carrier that's lightweight and breathable, preventing overheating and providing a snug yet airy fit.
With the Lark, you can enjoy the closeness of babywearing without compromising on comfort!
Absolutely! You can start back carrying with children who have good head control and can sit unassisted, so around 6 months old. The Lark comes with a chest strap, which you’ll put on when you want to back carry.
The IHDI stopped accepting product submissions for certification before the development of the Lark Baby Carrier, so it has not been formally certified.
That said, we’ve made sure the Lark is designed to provide substantial support for your little one’s butt and thighs, which is key for healthy hip development. Unlike ring slings or wraps, you don’t need to worry about getting your baby’s body into that deep M shape—what matters is supporting their thighs so gravity doesn’t pull on their hips (no dangling legs here!).
For more about the IHDI’s closure of their certification program, you can read here: IHDI Product Acknowledgement.
We offer two lengths/sizes, Short and Long. Our Short waistband accommodates waists up to 45” and our Long waistband accommodates up to 65". Sizing suggestions are based on fitted women's shirt sizes!
- Short: Best for sizes XXS to L
- Long: Best for sizes XL to 6XL
If you’re between sizes, you should size down! ❤️
