What age and weight does the Dale carrier fit?

6 to 36 months and up to 20KG (about 44 lbs). The adjustable design adapts as they grow, so no re-buying every few months.

What makes the hip seat different from a regular carrier?

Regular carriers hang all that weight from your shoulders and back. Dale's hip seat creates a shelf that moves it to your hips instead. Way less strain, way longer carry times.

Can I put the Dale carrier on by myself?

Yes. Most moms are solo-buckling in under 30 seconds by day two. Hip seat first, seat baby, click the straps. No tangling, no confusion.

Is the Dale carrier machine washable?

Yep. Gentle cycle, cold water, air dry. Designed for real life.

What is Dale's return policy?

30-day comfort guarantee. If you or baby aren't feeling it, we'll refund or exchange. No questions, no forms, no shipping fees.
