A zip-to-adjust seat widens as a child grows, and a three-position head rest offers extra support for head, neck and spine at different ages. It supports a child's natural seated M-position and is certified hip-healthy by the International Hip Dysplasia Institute.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe carrier is crafted from a breathable linen blend exterior with a cotton lining and vegan leather detailing. Parent-facing comfort touches include dense padding on the shoulder straps and waist belt, a wide waist belt that shifts weight to the hips, contoured shoulder straps, and structured lumbar support. A one-handed magnetic back clip and triangular side-release buckles make it easier to put on and take off, and a front storage pocket plus a smaller lumbar pocket hold small essentials. It comes with an infant positioning pillow, a removable linen sun hood, and a carrying tote, and is machine washable on a cold cycle with gentle detergent, then hung to dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe carrier accommodates children from 7 to 45 lbs across six carrying positions, including fetal carry, inward-facing narrow and wide seat settings, front-facing, hip carry and back carry.
