Neko Slings Half Buckle Carriers have a snap button adjustment mechanism (same as the Neko Switch) on the waistband to allow easy adjustment to your baby's height and half padded shoulder wrap straps for maximum comfort. Spreadable wrap strap shoulders enables multiple users to share the same carrier easily without making significant adjustments.
With fully adjustable panel height and width, adjustable neck support and detachable hood, Neko Half Buckle can be used from birth (3.5kg) to 15kg.
Machine Washable (cool) with buckles fastened.
FEATURES:
Q: Is the Neko Switch suitable for newborns?
Yes, the Neko Switch Baby Carrier adjusts down small enough to fit a newborn from approx. 3.5kg, without the need for a bulky insert. The panel height and width can be easily adapted as your baby grows, giving you a safe and ergonomic fit from the very beginning.
Q: How long can I use the Neko Switch?
The Neko Switch grows with your child from around 3.5kg up to 15kg (roughly 2-3 years old). This means one carrier can take you through the newborn stage, babyhood, and right into toddlerhood.
Q: What carrying positions does the Neko Switch offer?
The Neko Switch allows for front carrying (tummy to tummy) from newborn, and back carrying once your baby can sit independently (around 6 months+).
Q: Can the shoulder straps be crossed?
Yes. The Neko Switch gives you the choice between wearing the straps in an H-style backpack position or crossed in an X position. This flexibility makes it easier to share between caregivers and find the most comfortable fit.
Q: Is the Neko Switch Baby Carrier hip healthy?
Yes. The Neko Switch has been certified “hip healthy” by the International Hip Dysplasia Institute. It supports your baby in the recommended “M position,” with knees higher than bottom in a spread squat position for healthy hip development and comfort.
Q: Is it comfortable for parents too?
Definitely. The Neko Switch has a padded waist belt and cushioned shoulder straps to evenly distribute your baby’s weight. Many parents find it comfortable for longer walks, as well as short daily use.
Q: How do I wash the Neko Switch?
The Neko Switch is machine washable on a gentle cycle. We recommend using mild detergent, avoiding fabric softeners, and line drying to preserve the strength and softness of the woven fabric.
The certificate of compliance with safety norms PD CEN/TR 16512:2015 and ASTM F2236 - 16a

The neko half buckle carrier is soft, supportive and extremely comfortable. I love the versatility of the wrap style straps with the secure waist band and buckle. My baby goes to sleep almost instantly in this carrier and I’ve worn him in it for up to 4 hours without so much as a slight ache anywhere on my body. It washes well and the material is extremely good quality, breathable but very thick supportive woven fabric. I absolutely love it!
I have purchased and used a few different higher end carriers and they've all given me terrible pain after short periods of use.
This carrier is a game changer!!! I can happily carry my 10kg bub for 3+ hrs and have no pain.
I'm recommending it to everyone I meet. Wish I had this years ago!
Such a lovely carrier, the fabric is beautiful and so soft.
Wonderfully easy to use, incredibly comfortable, simple design. Padded shoulder straps are great on their own, but it also has fabric that can be pulled over the shoulders and across the back to distribute the weight.
My baby always looks so comfortable and snug when in it.
Folds up small in its own bag, light and convenient to always take along.
100% would recommend
Love the Neko carrier. very comfortable and easy to use. The padded straps are great and i love that it has the long fabric to help distribute the weight of baby while wearing to make more comfortable. The straps also pull over the shoulders and across the back for even more comfort and stop the straps from pulling into the neck. love everything about it and have found after trying so many other carriers the neko for me is the best one i found.
I have tried a LOT of carriers and couldn’t find the right one. I was getting a lot of pain in my shoulders but wanted a crossed strap one. So glad I tried out this! It’s so comfortable. Beautiful material, soft and breathable too. I had the straps shortened and it’s just perfect and the colour matches everything I wear!! Love love love
★★★★★TamarI had such a beautiful experience with Kiki - not only was she incredibly knowledgeable, but she held the space of pre-birth uncertainty so compassionately and warmly. I'm so excited to wear my little bub when he arrives soon! Kiki I'll be sure to share pictures with you from our first carry ♡♡
★★★★★WinnieReally recommend Kiki's workshops! She gave me explanations on what to look for in a structured carrier, how to protect baby's little hips, and helped me find a structured carrier that I love. In the woven wrap workshop Kiki was thorough and patient in teaching us the basics of wrapping, safety and materials.
★★★★★MayHaving a babywearing consult with Kiki was honestly one of the best decisions I made! Postpartum is a crazy time and having to learn a new skill like how to select, put on/take off and safely use a carrier (on top of everything else!) was made so much easier with Kiki's gentle guidance.
Had trouble finding a carrier that would fit my small bub, lots of people recommended this carrier. After getting help the first time putting my son in it I can confidently do it myself now. Easy to use and bub loves it. Fits nicely and comfortable.
Beautifully soft yet light enough for a hot qld summer!
Super easy to use and lightweight, great for summer to pop baby in while we’re at Wet n Wild or the pool.
Loved being able to hold my bub hands-free & comfy in the water on our holiday! I’m excited to keep learning about this ring sling- it’s going to be so helpful in the summer!!
This carrier is exactly what I was hoping for, easy and quick to use but with the comfort of a wrap carrier. It gives me flexibility when my toddler is fussy when we’re out and about, and it looks gorgeous.
