It is possible to use also your own fabric for the Wompat LITE carrier. Your fabric will be used as a decorative layer on the outside of the panel. The shoulder straps and the back side of panel are made from our cotton twill fabric (black or grey). For the shoulder straps we have also available caramel corduroy fabric. We can use many kind of 100 % cotton or linen fabrics with printed pattern. The fabric should be about 100 - 250 g/m2. For the baby size Wompat we recommend cotton prints under 200 g/m2. Most woven baby wraps are also suitable for the panel. Easy care materials made from natural fibers are the best. For the baby size Wompat LITE are the thin or medium thick woven wraps the best options (below 300 g/m2). The toddler size can be made from thicker woven wraps, too. All fabrics should be new or almost new and in top condition. Please contact Niina before sending your fabric to us. All woven wraps should be pre-washed and ironed before sending them to us. And it might be a good idea to wash cotton prints, too. Wompat LITE baby size carrier with a 6 months old. The panel & adjusting the width The baby size Wompat LITE carrier is suitable for newborn babies from about 3,5 kg (7 lbs) on. The panel is adjusted narrower for small baby with the adjusting belt that comes with each carrier. The adjusting belt is placed around the lower part of the panel and it's tightened with a small buckle. The panel should go from baby's knee-pit to knee-pit in a way that baby can still easily bend her knees. By changing the position of the adjusting belt you can also adjust the height of the panel. Find more detailed instruction HERE. The carrier is supporting baby's head and neck when the upper edge reaches baby's earlobe. You can fold the upper part behind baby's neck. When the baby grows the carrier is gradually adjusted larger. The adjustments are stepless and therefore you can alway shape the carrier just right for your baby. Depending on the individual growth rate of each baby Wompat baby carrier can be used until about 2 years of age. The toddler carrier fits from about 2 years and up to 5 years. The toddler carrier comes with the adjusting belt, too. Shoulder straps The shoulder straps of Wompat LITE baby carrier have moderate soft padding. The straps are not too bulky or thick and therefore they fit snugly on the shoulders and spread the weight widely and evenly on the shoulders and upper back. Soft high quality, allergy friendly padding is used inside the shoulder straps. The length can be adjusted with "perfect fit buckles" (PFA) which makes the carrier suitable for smaller sized parents as well. You can also get the baby closer to your body if you lightly tighten the PFA buckles. The buckles at the ends of the shoulder straps can be opened which enables carrying on the hip and crisscrossing the straps on your back. Many parents find crossing the straps very comfortable and it's a good idea to try, if you have narrow shoulders or if the straps don't settle comfortably in the normal H-position. Shoulder straps can be tightened in two directions: this way you can always make the final tightening by pulling the webbings forwards. Each Wompat carrier comes with a detachable chest strap. The standard shoulder straps of the baby size Wompat can be adjusted between 39 cm and 54 cm. The shoulder straps of the toddler size carrier are a little shorter (34 cm at smallest setting). The baby size Wompat LITE carrier has been quite suitable for even small parents. For the toddler size we recommend Petite straps, if you are using clothing size XS-S and are below 160 cm tall - specially if you like to carry the child very high at the back. Waist belt Wompat LITE baby carrier doesn't have a padded waist belt at all. The carrier includes wide waist straps that are attached to each corner of the panel and they are adjusted with a buckle. Wompat LITE is worn "apron style" which means that at the starting position after fixing the waist buckle, the panel is hanging straight downwards and the decorative fabric is facing towards your thighs. When the panel is lifted up and over baby's back, the fabric forms a pouch for baby's bottom. This type of waist will settle quite nicely on the hips or waist both at front carry and back carry. Many parents find the waist very comfortable and don't require thick padding. The maximum setting of the standard waist straps is 140 cm. If your waist is larger, we recommend ordering a carrier with longer waist straps. Carry a small baby high against your chest and wear the waist strap as high as possible. Baby's head should be close enough to kiss her top of the head. As the baby grows you can place the waist straps lower. At the back carry it's also good practice to wear the carrier high - the waist buckle can be placed right under the breasts. The higher you carry the child the lighter it feels to carry her. Waist straps can be adjusted very small so the carrier fits well for even slender parents.
