Following the success of its Soothe Shirt and Dad Shirt, Lalabu has launched a crowdfunding campaign for the Wearabu, which is branded as "the carrier your baby wears."
The cleverly designed product makes it possible for parents to carry around their infant on their front or back with the same ease as slipping on a backpack. Unlike many baby carrier designs on the market that are quite cumbersome and bulky, the Lalabu Wearabu boasts a flexible, breathable and lightweight form that is half the weight of a traditional soft-structured carrier.
Due to the simplified design of the infant carrier, Lalabu notes that it is even an option for parents to sport an additional over-the-shoulder pack, purse or jacket while wearing the Wearabu. Whereas many baby carriers require parents to strap themselves in first and a baby second, the romper can be comfortably worn by a child all day and adjusted for carrying as needed.
