The Charcoal Toile Soft Buckle Carrier is a structured baby carrier built for babies 3 months and up, 10 to 45 pounds, offering more support than a stretchy wrap for longer wears and busier days. It has a sleek, minimal profile without bulky padding, an ergonomic apron-style seat, and cross-back straps that distribute weight across the shoulders and back. The adjustable waistbelt fits wearers from XXS to XXL+ (23 to 48 inch waists), with an extender available for waists up to 56 inches.
The exterior shell is 100% European linen, the interior lining is a blend of TENCEL Modal and spandex, and the carrier is filled with 100% cotton. It supports front and back carry positions and includes a chest clip for secure back carrying that stows away in the shoulder strap when not in use. The carrier is machine washable, though it should be hung to dry rather than tumble dried. It is designed in the U.S. and produced in China.
A zippered carrying pouch is included for compact storage, and the carrier meets U.S. CPSC safety requirements. It is HSA/FSA eligible.

I was a wildbird lover! It was my go to with my first I thought that would never change but seriously I cannot get enough of this solly with my second. I love that the waist buckle just clips instead of needing to be threaded through. The shoulder straps are thin but super comfortable! I didn’t even realize before I bought these carriers (yes I have two) that it also supports back carry which is great! I wore my first til he was 18m (and then my pregnant belly was too big). I plan to wear this guy for the same if not longer. The fabric is soft and breathable which is a must for my Texas summer babies. Hands down the absolute best carrier out of the ones i have (wildbird and mabe) and ones I’ve tried (Tula and ergobaby as well)

I love this carrier. It’s super comfortable and helps me to carry my baby while she is growing. I definitely recommended to all of my friends.

Super lightweight and compact. Love the travel bag it comes with. Can't wait to use it with my baby.

I am super disappointed and I hate to say it. I was so excited about this and bought it when it was brand new and at an even higher price than it is currently listed for. I feel like I wasted a ton of money. It’s cute and I thought it was what I was looking for, but it just doesn’t work. The shoulder straps don’t lay flat and really dig in and it doesn’t feel like there is enough waist support for my lower back. Overall it just hurts my body and doesn’t help. I’m sad that I spent so much money on something I’ll barely use and can’t return.

So disappointed in this product. I loved the wrap during the newborn stage so I was super excited to try the soft carrier, but unfortunately it is so uncomfortable. Ive tried so many brands of carriers and this one was one of my least favorites. I tried returning the product since we only used it 3 times and customer service was disappointing as well. Would not let me return or exchange since I did not have the original packaging. Waste of $250
