My baby absolutely loves his carrier now. And it gives me the freedom to get things done with ease. We have a very needy baby with severe reflux so it gives us so much comfort knowing i can babywear and he gets to be upright after feedings to ease his cramps. Would 100% recommend to all new moms.

I am so impressed with the Ubuntu baby carrier. I wish I bought it earlier from newborn stages. I highly recommend this product and will definitely purchase stage II.

I loooove my Ubuntu Baba! It's so comfortable and allows for me to have my hands free. The front pocket is my favorite part because it is so spacious and functional. My baby always falls asleep in her carrier. Highly recommended product!

Such a wonderful product. We use it literally every day - having baby close and safe when going out, or just needing to do the dishes or cook a meal at home when baby is being extra clingy. The quality is wonderful, it is easy to use and so comfortable. 10/10 recommend! It really is a product that everyone in the family can enjoy and use.

Best purchase ever! We have a baby who loves to contact nap and I wouldn't have been able to do anything during the day if it wasn't for the Ubuntu Baba Carrier. My baby loves it and it has honestly been a game changer for my mental health postpartum. Being able to do simple tasks with him strapped to me has helped so much! It also did not hurt my C-section scar at all.

I don't know how I would have survived the baby phase without my Ubuntu Baba! My little one loved being held and we used it on a daily basis. By far the most comfortable carrier I have tried :) Its a must have for all moms!

I absolutely LOVE this product. Currently using stage 1 for my second born and the quality of the product is still SO GOOD. Can't wait to use my stage 2 for my toddler as I take on hiking. 🙂 Thank you so much Ubuntu Baba and well done on the quality and thoughtfulness of this product.

Worth every cent! It's so convenient and secure. Baby doesn't fight naps when he is in the carrier. Magic! Hikes and walks are a breeze... Ps. Just purchase the teething pads too.

Best buy I am so happy with this purchase! My baby is 7 months already so I was nervous he wouldn't like it. But I desperately needed him to as we are traveling soon. He immediately settled when I tried it and was so happy being carried around. Hes a chunky baby and I dont feel his weight at all. Thank you for this amazing product!

Excellent products and excellent customer service. I have two products to chat about here - We were actually gifted the stage 1 carrier and it’s been fantastic for our little babe, it’s comfortable and easy to put on and off, would highly recommend it you can tell that the whole design has been created around the little ones comfort. Secondly we purchased the teething pads to attach onto the carrier, unfortunately there was a manufacturing error with the machine that made them (we found out after reaching out) and the one button came off - they were SO quick to respond to me reaching out and offered a full replacement. The teething pads are so worth it because our little one just gobs all over the straps and the fact that they’re reversible is just an added bonus! Amazing customer service, thank you!

Life saver for Velcro baby with severe reflux. Honestly a life saver! I have a Velcro baby with severe silent reflux. She loves the carrier and is in it for most of the day. with every nap and at night I rock her to sleep in her carrier and she sleeps on me in her carrier right throughout the night to help with her reflux - it’s the only way we both get some sleep! It’s great quality as well and I don’t know what I would have done without it .

Reflux and Colic natural wonder The Ubuntu baby carrier stage 1 made a very difficult period in FTM life a little easier. As a mom with a baby suffering from reflux with colic on top of it. The Ubuntu baby made my life a little easier. Sitting upright after every feed wasn't a prison in a chair anymore. We could walk around the house without arms hurting, getting winds out and no reflux. Nevermind how lekker he slept in the Ubuntu being close to mommy.

Thank you so much for making every mommy outing to anywhere even at home so enjoyable and comfortable for both mama and baby with your beautifully crafted carriers. I'm in love with my season because I get to have my baby snuggled up on me any time with your carrier and he love it ❤️🤗

One of my personal MUST-HAVE baby essentials. Hugely recommended. This is an amazing product and easy to use. When I was clueless as a new mom, Ubuntu Baba was so quick to help me right so that I use it correctly. It has been a lifesaver. Thank you Shannon for designing an amazing product.

I received the Stage 1 carrier as a gift and my baby girl litterally grew up in it! Got the stage 2 when she turned one. Both stages are so comfortable and easy to maneuver and it made my life so much easier, wherever we were she slept soundly in the carrier. Love this product and would recommend to any mommy, worth every cent!!

BEST PURCHASE YET! Only purchased my Ubuntu after our baby girl arrived and what a life saver it has been! For a full time work from home mama it has been a lifesaver when needing to be mobile, enjoy my cup of coffee and to help soothe our baby girl as she has trouble sleeping during leaps! The Sun cover is absolute genius, looking forward to many adventures with my hubby & baby girl with our Ubuntu!!!

I will NOT leave home without my Ubuntu Carrier My Ubuntu carrier is honestly the BEST thing i have ever bought in my entire life.. its a lifesaver.. I have a toddler and now my baby is 6 months old and i literally wear it every single day..i stress if it needs to get washed as i can not live with out it for even a day. You will not go wrong in buying this carrier.. it is made to perfection. It will last and it is so comfortable for baby and mamma. Best investment. Dont even think twice before purchasing. If my house is burning down, the Ubuntu carrier will be the item i save first. ? Love it!!!!

I only learnt about Ubuntu Baba carriers when my firstborn was over 6months and started off with the stage 2. And we loved it! Then with our second child, we bought the stage 1 carrier and used it from newborn. This was a game changer. He is now 1yrs old and I use if almost everyday if he does not want to settle for a nap. I cannot thank the Ubuntu Baba team enough for this fantastic product.

Ubuntu Baba is worth every penny! I was a bit apprehensive at first but as soon as I began using it I was so pleased! It is literally an essential whenever I leave home. P.S. The "sleepy dust" is REAL!!!! 😱😱 Looking for a sponsor for a stage 2 now 😜

Three years ago bought my stage 1 when my daughter was 6 weeks old. Used it every day and it saved my life, especially because I am self employed and needed to get work done without really any maternity leave. Now, with my second baby I have been using that same carrier since we left the hospital. Best money I've spend in my parenting journey. I tell everyone pregnant to budget for an Ubuntu.

I simply love my carrier. Baby feels very comfortable in it and when I go out in public, I always put her in it to ease the strain of carrying her and also. It also makes me feel safer to cover head head in public since the covid pandemic.

THIS PRODUCT SHOULD BE ON TOP OF EVERY MOM'S WISHLIST! Ordered my Ubuntu Baba Stage 1 Carrier on Sunday and was delivered this morning (Tuesday). I thought it was going to be complicated to use but was easy peasy and my Little Angel (2.5 months old) is now sleeping peacefully against my chest while I have two hands free to type this review. Game changer!
