We were very happy to find this new carrier at the ABC Kids Expo (see below). It's made in Chicago by Cat Bird Baby, a small mother-owned company from Chicago.
Their new Pikkolo carrier is a nice innovation. It's basically a soft structured pack, using adjustable straps to secure a central panel holding a baby. Unlike a front carrier, it has a waist belt that helps redistribute weight to your hips and more support for baby's head and back. And, unlike the other structured carrier we sell, it has a narrower panel that an be cinched smaller so that you can carry and infant without a special insert. Its waist strap isn't padded though, so we don't think it'll be quite as comfortable for hauling toddlers.
All in all, the Pikkolo is a nice middle ground, especially for folks who are looking for one versatile carrier that'll work for all three years of a child's babywearing age.

I have the metro black catbird pikkolo. It is far the best carrier I have tried. I tried sleepy wrap, hug-a-bub, moby wrap, mei tai custom made, ellaroo hip carrier, baby bjorn original, peanut shell and hotsling. It is very comfortable and theres a string you can pull on the crotch area to fit newborns so their legs doesnt have to spread.
The best buy Ive had
