The Baby Carrier

The carrier supports inward, outward and back carry from 7-33 lbs with weight gates mentioned for the newer version, but no minimum age for outward-facing carry is stated and no TICKS-style positioning documentation is published.

Colugo names ASTM F2236, the soft infant and toddler carrier standard, and several Canadian safety rules for this carrier, and Target's own item data lists 'Meets ASTM Standards'. No certificate or test report is published, and the JPMA certification Colugo also claims is not recorded by the Baby Safety Alliance, which lists no Colugo carrier among its verified soft infant carriers.

Colugo's hip-health claim for this carrier rests on an acknowledgement from the International Hip Dysplasia Institute, which says it is not a certifying body and does not list Colugo among the companies it acknowledges. Beyond a 'Hip Healthy Design' label, no M-position description or knee-to-knee seat width is published.

A third-party listing describes OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified 100% cotton shell and lining, but the brand's own materials disclosure for this carrier lists the shell and mesh as 100% polyester with polyurethane, polyethylene and EVA foam padding, so the certification claim does not match the product's own published materials.

We queried the CPSC recall database directly across its full corpus and found no record naming this brand in any role. A control search confirms the registry covers comparable product classes like strollers and carriers, so the clean result reflects an actual clean history.

The carrier states a clear weight range of 7-33 lbs and describes magnetic one-touch buckles as the load-bearing hardware, though no load testing data or review-corpus pattern on buckle/ring/seam durability is published.

It undertakes internal and third-party testing meeting US safety regulations, without naming any flame-retardant-free or PFAS-free status, or any chemistry certificate, for this carrier's fabric.

Colugo calls the carrier JPMA certified and an IHDI-certified 'Hip Healthy' product, but neither issuer records it: the Baby Safety Alliance, which runs JPMA certification, lists no Colugo product among its verified soft infant carriers, and the International Hip Dysplasia Institute says it is not a certifying body and does not list Colugo among the companies it acknowledges.

It partners only with manufacturers who share its safety vision, without naming the country of manufacture, specific materials beyond organic cotton, or any warranty terms for this accessory.
