Customer photo review of Happy Baby Original Baby Carrier

We love our happy baby carriers! I have a few so I always have one handy, which is a must with a baby and 2 older kids. I've used Happy Baby carriers for almost 7 years and I recommend them to everyone. They're so comfy, easy to use, packable, and I love the natural fibers!

These carriers are pure perfection! I’ve always loved Happy Baby Originals for how comfy and packable they are, but combined with LoveHeld fabrics? Absolute chef’s kiss! This waffle material is super soft and cozy, and this shade of blue is just dreamy

My OG didn’t have the cinching strap. I found out the night before leaving on a cross country flight …. I want a refund or swap for haven

Happy Baby Original Baby Carrier

Store owner replied: Hi, Adrienna! I can see your cinching strap right there in the panel on the right hand side. If you need help with how to use it you can reach out to customer service and we would be happy to assist. 🙂

If other carriers dig into your hips no matter what you do, try this one! So comfortable and lightweight. My clingy, fussy baby calms down so much faster when we put her in the carrier vs just holding her.

Happy baby carriers are our go-to! The transition to three kids has been effortless since my baby always takes the best naps in our OG!

Hands down our favorite SSC carrier! This carrier has saved my sanity so many times by helping regulate my little girl. Excellent quality, we use this almost every day and it’s holding up very well. The linen is so breathable. I’ve worn her in this for a few hours on a couple different occasions and both baby and I were so comfortable. Looking forward to securing a Toddler size once she’s grown out of this one!

Happy Baby carriers carried us through the transition from 1-2 kids and now we’re doing it all over again with the transition from 2-3 kids. I don’t know what I’d do without our OG’s and our haven carriers!

OBSESSED with my happy baby OG! I wore my 5 month old for a huge part of every day for a week in Disney and my back did just fine and baby napped in it no problem. Material is gorgeous and so soft and kept us nice and cool. I work from home so baby spends a lot of time in the carrier here too. 20/10 recommend this carrier to anyone who asks. Even bought a toddler size for my two year old!

This carrier has been my favorite so far! Very comfortable! I don’t feel like I’m carrying extra weight. Nice and light! Game changer!

I rave about baby carrying so much because it’s truly the only way we are able to get stuff done with two under two. Happy baby carriers especially are so easy to put on individually that even my husband reaches for them. *pictured is Valen a beautiful and comfortable LoveHeld Collab. No “breaking in needed” amazingly cozy and supportive right out the packaging.

Best carrier ever!! I had a babybjorn carrier and it used to give me a terrible backache, also my baby was not comfortable at all, so I asked my cousin which carrier should I get because she chooses the best carriers and comfiest, she has a Sakura bloom scout and it seemed really comfy, so I told her I was on a budget and I really need a comfy carrier, so she said happy baby is also so similar and comfy like the one she has, so I ordered it, and LET ME TELL YOUUUU, what a difference from the baby bjorn to the happy baby one, no more backache, no more uncomfy baby, I love it so much and my baby loves it also I could literally wear it all day!!

We love our Caspian OG! So quick and easy to get a good fit, comfy for both me and baby, and it’s where she took most (if not all) her naps from like 3-8 months 😆 she still will do a nice carrier nap at 14 months! My husband loves it and uses it as well!

We absolutely love our OG baby carrier. Was the perfect fit for my little man while on vacation for both myself AND Dad. I recently purchased the Celine OG for my baby girl due in less than 5 weeks. I know she will love it just as much as big brother. Highly recommend.

I love my Happy Baby carriers! This is an amethyst original style with tan webbing, and I bought it as a nesting present for myself. Baby isn't even here yet, but I knew this color would be a favorite, and I was right! I've used Happy Baby carriers for over 5 years for 2 (almost 3!) babies, and they're my favorite brand. Easy to use, comfy for me and baby, and lots of colors to choose from. I also love the linen they use, so soft and breathable -- especially after a week or two of use. I highly recommend 💜

This is my all-time favorite carrier, unfortunately my flax one ripped within the first month. I had it because it’s my only carrier and I use it so much. But customer service was amazing and they sent me a brand new carrier so I got oatmeal instead, which is 100% linen and this one is so sturdy and so nice. I love it so much more than my first one. This is the easiest most comfortable carrier for me and my baby, and he loves chewing on the straps! Thank you customer service for being so great! I bought my sister one for her baby shower!

I’m not gonna lie, happy baby carriers led me into the fun and crazy world of BST. I love that they’re hand made in the US. I love how high quality they feel. That you can easily reach the owners or customer support when there is a problem. The blooms are my favorite “neutral” but I have so many other prints and I just can’t get enough. Being able to wear these carriers is definitely a perk to having kids 😂

Amethyst has quickly become a favorite here! It’s the prettiest purple ever and you can’t ever go wrong with an OG

I LOVE the happy baby carriers. I rented one from my local baby wearing group and was immediately in love. After my rental I went out and ordered two of my own. The fit is so comfortable and it is so easy to get on and off. I love the H back design and the hood for naps/discreet nursing. Perfect for family activities and saves my wrists and shoulders! Can’t recommend it more!
