About time


Well it's time for Napsack to have his own Blog. At last.

What is Napsack? Napsack is a baby carrier. He was designed in Maine, USA by a mother who's baby would only sleep when held in her arms. Hence the name "NAP - sack". The design was inspired by the traditional Asian Baby Carriers also known as Mei Tai that have been used in Asia for thousands of years. The design underwent many incarnations before the Napsack that we know and love was born.

There are many Mei Tai style carriers, so what is so special about Napsack? Napsack is unique with its contoured body and oar shaped straps. It has a lightly padded body that is made up of no less than 5 layers. It is suitable for use with a newborn baby through to a toddler. The contoured shape of the body is narrow at the bottom for a small baby's legs and wide at the top providing privacy for nursing. The top folds down providing head support for a sleeping baby and allowing an older baby to look out at the world around. The wide straps "hug" the wearer, spreading the weight of the baby evenly with no pressure points. Each Napsack is fully reversible.

Napsack has been living in London, England since August 06. His website is called NapsackBaby and can be seen here: www.napsackbaby.com
