Disneyland
Used at Disneyland with my six month old and we were both super comfortable all day even in the heat and walking all around. I had completely given up on soft structured carriers — until now.
We get it
Hot, not sweaty
You've been dreading summer babywearing. The sweaty back. The overheated baby. The carrier you dread putting on because you know what's coming. It doesn't have to be that way. The Lark was built to be comfortable for bodies that run warm, which, let's be honest, is most of us.

No synthetic foam

Breathable in summer heat

Natural fibers only
Why it's different
Three reasons the Lark doesn't cook you.
01Cotton batting, not foam
Most carriers pad their straps with synthetic foam. We use cotton batting instead. Synthetic foam traps heat against your body. Cotton batting breathes.
02Hemp-cotton & linen-cotton fabrics
Hemp is naturally temperature-regulating. Linen wicks moisture and breathes. No polyester, no neoprene, nothing that traps heat against your skin or your baby's.
03No bulky waistband
The Lark's apron-style design skips the wide padded waistband entirely. Less fabric. Less bulk. Less heat. More airflow where you need it most.
Real parents. Real heat.
Don't sweat it.
Wore it all day
I'm a WFH mom. I wear my toddler every day multiple times for long periods of time. I needed a comfortable carrier that wouldn't dig into me, didn't have a bulky waist band, and was soft enough to snuggle my baby while they nap. The Lark is all of that.
Southeast Heat
Beautiful soft carrier! The material is super soft against mine and baby's skin and feels breathable. Even in the southeast heat baby and I are both comfortable. The buckles are easy to clip by myself and the seat is easily adjusted.
Hawaii
We live in Hawaii and it doesn't make me extra hot or sweat more than I normally would. Baby also loves being in her Lark and loves playing with it too.
Hot & Humid
I love my Lark! I have a different carrier that is cotton with a waterfall waistband, but I find that it is too heavy and hot during warm, humid weather. The Lark is so much cooler. It is my go-to carrier for hot weather.
Disney in the heat
I'm day two in Disney with my 1 year old. This carrier is amazing! I wore it from 10am to 10pm and my back never bothered me. It's hot here and I hardly broke a sweat. My son napped, hung out, and nursed super privately. I'd pay double for this.
Easy breezy.

No foam. No heat trap.
The shoulder straps are padded with cotton batting instead of synthetic foam. Weight distributes naturally across your shoulders. No hot spots, no pressure points, no digging in after an hour.
Panel fabric
Natural fibers. Breathable all day.
Hemp-cotton and linen-cotton blends that breathe in summer heat. Soft enough to wear against bare skin. No synthetic fabrics touching you or your baby.
Quick-clip buckle
On in 30 seconds.Solo.
No awkward wrestling or second pair of hands required. Clip the waist buckle, clip both side straps, and tighten them. That's it. You're wearing your baby.
Hip-healthy seat
Supported thighs.Zero dangling legs.
The panel cradles your baby's thighs so their weight is fully supported from knee to knee without being restrictive. No gravity pulling on developing hip joints. Just a natural, comfortable seat from the very first carry.

Length Guide
Find your perfect length
Short and long refer to the strap lengths, and do not correspond to your height!
The Lark comes in two lengths, based on your fitted shirt size. Take the quick quiz or compare both below.
Length 1 of 2
Short
Fits women's XXS-L
Waistband fits up to 45 inches.
Best for
Most women's fitted shirt sizes XXS through L. Most men's shirt sizes M through XL also fit Short.
Length 2 of 2
Long
Fits women's XL–6XL
Waistband fits up to 65 inches.
Best for
Most women's fitted shirt sizes XL through 6X. Most men's shirt sizes 2XL and up also fit a Long.
Between sizes?
Size down. Most "between" wearers prefer the Short.
Heads up: back carries
A carrier that's too big can't tighten properly during a back carry. If you're truly between sizes and plan to wear back carry, the Short is essential!
Sizing for men or partners
Men's sizes run differently. A men's XL often fits the Short, not the Long. When in doubt, email us your shirt size, and we'll help match!!
