The Pikkolo by CatBird Baby represents the height of carrier sophistication and flexibility. You can completely customize it to meet you and your baby's ever-changing needs over time, and use it in a myriad of positions.
Do you like the closeness of an unpadded apron-style waistband with your little baby in a front carry, but need more padding once baby gets heavier and moves to your back? No problem, add the Babywearing Support Belt to your Pikkolo when you need it.
Want to cross the straps at your back? Great, go ahead!
Hip carry? No problem.
Need to make the carrier body narrower for a very small or a front-facing baby? Cinch it!
Prefer a shorter carrier for smaller babies? You've got it. Then, when baby gets taller, unfold the bottom of the carrier and add the Babywearing Support Belt for several extra inches in carrier body height.
Pikkolo Product Details
- For babies to toddlers. Recommended weight range is 8-40 pounds.
- All Pikkolo carriers include a detachable sleep hood, chest belt and instruction manual and are 100% cotton, exclusive of trim.
- Child can be worn on front (facing in or out), back, or hip and easily shifted from one to the other.
- Front carry: Shoulder straps can be worn
either crossed in back or backpack-style (straight over each
shoulder).
Back carry: You can cross the straps in front for a back
carry, but it will most likely make your boobs look and/or feel
weird. Feel free to give it a try though! If you are
small-chested, a crossed-strap back carry might work for
you.
- The
Pikkolo has a cinching mechanism on either side of the carrier
body to narrow the carrier. You can then comfortably wear your
baby in front facing out. The baby is held in a healthy semi-seated position which does not place as much pressure on the crotch and spine of the baby as a Baby Bjorn does. It's not so good for *your* back after about 15-17 pounds though, so be careful.
- The ability to cinch the carrier body also makes it good for wearing small babies. A
narrower cinched carrier body means that a small baby will not
have to spread his legs very wide while riding.
- New! Detachable contoured sleeping hood
in soft cotton, now with elastic along sides for a better fit and
more support to little sleeping heads.
- New! Brushed twill cotton fabric is
feather-soft, feels wonderful against the skin. No more break-in
period for your Pikkolo!
- New! Snap hooks on sleeping hood attach
to D-rings on the shoulder straps for ease of use and better
adjustment. No more ribbon loops!
- Unstructured apron-style waistband makes it
possible to precisely adjust the carrier's fit. Fits both
short-waisted and long-waisted body types. This type of waistband
is meant to be worn snugly around your natural waist, not
loose/low on top of the hips like padded waistbands. Won't
pull your pants down! Very comfy.
- Babywearing Belt
accessory is now available, so if you *want* a padded waistband
(you probably will after your babe hits 20 pounds), you simply
attach it to the existing waistband. Another huge plus for
flexibility and being able to customize your carrier to best suit
your changing needs. See below for the waistband sleeve AKA
Babywearing Belt.
- Tested to fit wearers between 4'10"
and 6'2". One wearer said that she was able to adjust
the Pikkolo to fit her 7 year old, 45 pound daughter (who wanted
to carry a younger child). I am 5'8" with a long torso,
and it still fits me with plenty of strap room to spare.
- All buckles are dual-adjustable and adjust both
ways, for optimal fit and ease of adjustment. You can pull the
straps from either side of the buckle, as well as change the
location of the buckle itself.
- Shoulder straps are padded with deluxe memory
foam (the same stuff found in expensive Tempurpedic mattresses).
It is very thin, but incredibly cushy and shock-absorbent. As the
foam becomes warmed by your body heat, it shapes itself to your
shoulders for a glove-like fit.
- Recommended care: wash on gentle cycle in cold
water with a mild detergent. Dry on low until just damp, then
hang to finish drying in well ventilated area. Spot clean when
needed.

| Microfleece Carrier Cover |
$39 |
|
|
Gorgeous 200 weight microfleece carrier cover from Catbird Baby keeps your baby cozy warm when babywearing without adding bulk or changing the fit of your carrier. Very economical and practical compared to buying a babywearing coat for $200 or more! Fits all sizes of babies and wearers. Outer layer is charcoal gray; lining and pocket are black. It's also reversible. You can turn the foot pocket inside out, snap the cover on the other way, and you get two looks (charcoal OR black) in one carrier cover!
The foot pocket is elasticized to snug around baby's legs and keep them cozy and toasty warm in cold weather. The top flap simply folds over the top of your Pikkolo, Beco or Patapum and snaps over the shoulder straps. You put it on prior to putting the carrier on, so you can even use it in a back carry easily. 100% polyester, made in the USA.
