The Armadillo Baby Carrier

Bumpsuit Armadillo Baby Carrier
Voted a “must-have” item for the nursery by VOGUE

“Keeping the baby close to your chest, this shell-like carrier is light, comfortable for both baby and wearer, and as stylish as a carrier can be.” – Vogue

The Armadillo has become our most-loved carrier, and it includes everything a new parent needs. Thoughtfully designed and well balanced, it features smart weight distribution and a padded lumbar panel, so wearing it for longer stretches feels like a breeze.

It comes with useful extras, including a D-ring and buttoned elastic tab for a water bottle, bag, pacifier holder, dog bags, or keys, a hidden sun & weather hood, and functional pockets for your phone, cards, and keys. Go everywhere and anywhere (or just around the house to tackle some chores); with its ergonomic design, you and baby can adventure together with ease.

Armadillo means “little armored one” and is a symbol of protection. We created the Armadillo thinking of how cute your little bundle of joy will look wrapped up in this cozy, shell-like carrier. We hope you have the most joyful adventures with your little one and create cheerful memories that last a lifetime.

Our carrier arrives beautifully boxed, perfect for gift giving.

Sun & weather hood tucks inside a padded pillow, with a button on the shoulder strap to secure it.

Adjustable leg guard to transition from parent-facing to world-facing position. Please note: Outward-facing (aka world-facing) is only recommended if a child is 6 months or older.

Only use this carrier for babies between 7 lbs and 45 lbs (suitable from newborn when using the infant insert)

User-friendly padded cross-over back straps with accessible side buckles.

Made to be worn for long stretches with ease.

It is important to adjust the leg guard position using the adjustable Velcro to ensure your baby’s legs are in the “M” position.

If you are using the carrier for a long period of time, we recommend the parent-facing position.

Stylish, Lightweight, and So Easy to Use\!
Love this carrier! The color is beautiful (I got the tan), and the mesh fabric is lightweight and breathable, especially great for warmer climates. It’s incredibly easy to adjust the center panel to fit your baby’s size, and I love how simple it is to get an even fit on both sides. Plus, the little armadillo-inspired design is just too cute!

Seriously the greatest carrier
I’ve had this carrier since having my first baby in February 2024 & am now using with my second baby (born May 2026) who is being worn A LOT! I’ve seriously never batted an eye at another carrier - this is the best one out there

My favorite carrier of all!
I have many carriers—Artipoppe, wild bird, chekoh baby, solly baby, baby Bjorn— and this one is my favorite for my 20+ lb baby who is 8 months. My only regret is not getting this one to begin with because I reach for it most. And my only complaint is that I don’t love that this polyester—I would love (and pay more for) a cotton version, or at least a cotton blend, of the regular fabric. Also love the phone holder and sun shade.

Nice carrier, but not good for summer
This is a very pretty and well made carrier, but unlike what the description says, it’s not good for summer months. So while it is great quality, I would not have paid this price if I knew I would be able to use it during summer.

Thank you for sharing your feedback! We’re so glad to hear you find the carrier beautiful and well made.

The Armadillo is designed with airflow in mind, allowing for ventilation and movement of air while baby is being carried. That said, warm-weather comfort can vary depending on temperature, humidity, clothing, and individual preference, so we appreciate you sharing your experience.

For those looking for an option with even greater breathability during warmer months, we also offer our Mesh Armadillo Carrier, which is designed specifically to maximize airflow.

We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback and are so glad you’re enjoying the quality and design of your carrier! 🤍
