# Modular Baby Carriers Suki Transforms from a Papoose into a Rocker By Joey Haar | Published 2016-10-13 | Life-Stages Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/suki References: [fastcodesign](https://www.fastcodesign.com/3064553/clever-baby-carrier-converts-into-a-rocker) & [red-dot.sg](http://www.red-dot.sg/en/online-exhibition/suki/) Baby carriers have become more popular with young parents who want to bring their babies around with them, and the Suki carrier makes it easier for parents to keep their kids from fussing. Rather than having to constantly take one's child into and out of a carrier, Suki's modular design lets it transform from a papoose into a minimalist rocker. When worn on the front, the Suki carrier looks like any other baby carrier. However, when it's time to put baby down, Suki has an attached set of flexible wooden slats that form a gentle parabola between the head and foot of the carrier (along the baby's back.) Once the slats are connected in place, parents can just remove their shoulder straps and place the rocker down, giving their child a comfortable chair. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 51% | Activity: 39% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Alpha, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Babies](https://www.trendhunter.com/babies) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Modular Baby Carriers:** Modular designs for baby carriers can be transformed into other useful items. - **Multipurpose Baby Gear:** More and more baby gear is being designed with multiple functions to make parents' lives easier. - **Flexible Baby Accessories:** Baby accessories with flexible materials and designs are becoming more popular among young parents. ### Who This Affects Most - **Baby Products:** Innovation opportunities in baby products include creating gear that can transform into multiple useful items. - **Furniture:** Furniture makers can explore creating adaptable pieces that serve multiple purposes, such as baby rockers that can also be used as carriers. - **Fashion:** Fashion designers can explore creating stylish baby accessories that also have flexible functionality, such as modular baby carriers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Storage-Equipped Baby Carriers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunveno-new-ergonomic-baby-carrier.md) - [Feedback-Informed Modern Baby Carriers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-baby-carriers.md) - [Modern Soft Baby Carriers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/konny-baby-carrier.md) - [Multi-Functional Baby Carriers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multifunctional-baby-carrier.md) - [Miniaturized Doll Carriers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doll-carrier.md) - [Sleek Cradle-Transforming Suitcases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/schwan.md) - [Toddler-Convertible Cots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/parry-cot.md) - [Sleek Modern Baby Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-baby-line.md) - [Flexibly Designed Car Seats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/car-baby-seat.md)
