Hip-healthy designWhy thousands of parents switched
to the Lark
Not another carrier to try.
The one you won't live without.
No bulky waistband. No over-complicated hardware. The Lark's apron-style design and wide cross-back straps spread your baby's weight across your upper back and shoulders, keeping your lower back completely out of it. Comfortable for 20 minutes or all day.

Life-Changing Comfort
This might sound drastic, but this carrier has changed my life. I suffer from significant shoulder, neck, and back pain from an injury. As soon as it was delivered, I put it straight on and almost cried tears of joy. Not a single ounce of pain.
Best Carrier on the Market
This is absolutely the most comfortable, user-friendly baby carrier I've ever used — and I've had several. Easy to put on by yourself, easy to get a great fit, and comfortable for hours of babywearing. Worth every penny.
In a league of its own
It seems so minimalistic, but provides one of — if not the — most comfortable carries I've experienced in 7 years of babywearing. The wide straps crossing over the back provide such great support for people who struggle with back pain. The fabric is soooooo soft.
I have tried 30+ carriers
I am a size 26 with a 44H chest and I comfortably wore the long size with room to adjust. I have tried and own 30+ carriers. If I could have just one carrier, I'd choose hope&plum.
Lark Baby Carrier FAQs
Is the Lark Baby Carrierâ„¢ a white-labeled product?
Absolutely not! The Lark Baby Carrier™ is our original design—patent pending—and you won’t find it anywhere else. We created the Lark from the ground up, rethinking every detail (from the apron-style waistband to the strap design) to make a carrier that’s simple, size-inclusive, and incredibly comfortable.
Unlike white-labeled carriers that are mass-produced and rebranded, the Lark is uniquely hope&plum. Each one is sewn locally in Minnesota by a women-owned and operated manufacturer that provides livable wages and supports the community. This isn’t just a fabric choice—it’s an entire carrier designed by us, for you.

The Lark Baby Carrier is designed for babies and toddlers weighing between 10 to 45 pounds. It’s perfect for parents who need a versatile carrier for long-term use, from babyhood to toddlerhood.

How does the Lark Baby Carrier provide back support?
The Lark uses an apron-style design with soft, wide straps that distribute your baby’s weight across your upper back and shoulders, avoiding strain on your lower back.
