Why 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.
"The only carrier I've tried that doesn't hurt my back, even after wearing for a long time." — verified buyer
Parents who've been intimidated by carriers before say the Lark clicks in a few tries. No confusing buckles, no multi-step tutorials. Put it on with baby in your arms and get on with your day.
"I practiced in the mirror 3 times and already feel so confident." — verified buyer
From 10 lbs to 45 lbs. Front carry or back carry. Sizes XXS to 6X. Made from breathable natural fibers like hemp, linen, and organic cotton. Sewn locally in Minnesota by a women-owned manufacturer. Built to outlast one baby, and then some.
"I wish I had it with my first. It's the best purchase I've made as a parent." — verified buyer
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the weight limit for the Lark?
The Lark is safety-tested for babies and toddlers weighing 10 to 45 pounds and in size 3m and up tops. Not quite there yet? Our Sprout Newborn Carrier is designed for babies weighing 7 to 24 pounds.
Can I wear my baby forward facing in the Lark?
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 great with front and back carry options. If your little one is eager to take in the world while being worn, we recommend a back carry or a hip carry in one of our ring slings!
How do I know which length to get?
The Lark comes in two sizes to fit a wide range of bodies: no extenders needed. Check our length guide to find your fit, or take our 60-second quiz, and we'll tell you exactly which size is right for you. Still not sure? Our team is made up of real people who will help you get it right before you buy!
Is the Lark breathable?
Yes! All of our fabrics are natural-fiber blends (hemp-cotton and linen-cotton) with cotton batting as the padding, instead of synthetic foam. Light and breathable for summer, cozy enough for cooler days. We designed it for parents and babies who run warm, because that's most of us.
Can you back carry in the Lark?
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.
