        Imperfection in stitching

        I love love love the carrier and the print and was so excited to get it! The only issue is when I was putting it on for the first time today I noticed an imperfection in the stitching on the inside flap. This isn’t noticeable right now since my baby is a month old and needs the flap up but once he’s bigger it will be down and noticeable in the center. I don’t want to have to return it since it doesn’t affect the function and I desperately need a carrier to get anything done with my Velcro baby…just bummed at the quality at the price it is sold at.

        Buy it now!

        I have used this thing every single day since it came in, multiple times a day. There have been days where every one of my daughter’s naps are in it. Comfy right out of the box, AMAZING back support, quick to get on compared to a wrap, and very cute! I’ve gotten a ton of compliments on it. Recommending it to every one of my mom friends!

        Exceeded My Expectations!

        I’ve used a lot of carriers between my two babies and this one is in my top 2 (which says a lot)

        Not only is it so comfortable, it is beautiful, easy to put on, and so much softer than I was expecting!

        Love my Aerial Carrier so much that I’ve bought it in multiple colors! So comfortable that I’m still using it with my daughter at 14 months (and pregnant with my second).

        We absolutely love the Wildbird Aerial carrier. This has been such a game changer in terms of mobility with an infant and has truly allowed me to be handsfree at home as well as on long 1-2 hour walks with both baby and dog. My baby loves being in this carrier and looks out at the world and naps - also doesn’t overheat on warmer days. I don’t find the hip loop too cumbersome in terms of getting the carrier on and off even when I’m doing it alone/independently. The quality of the fabric is also exceptional (we have sparrow and it still looks brand new). I’d absolutely choose this carrier again!
