Mystery Box - Lark Baby Carrier

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! In addition to meeting the lower weight limit, babies need to be in size 3-6 month tops to ensure a proper and safe fit in the Lark Baby Carrier. Need a carrier for the newborn days?

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:

1. Natural Fibers: We use high-quality, natural fibers that allow for excellent airflow, keeping both you and your baby cool and comfortable.
2. 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.
3. 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!).

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.
