A baby carrier doesn't have an expiration date per se. Depending on use, wear and tear vary greatly from one product to the next. Generally speaking, we recommend the regular verification of the baby carrier: its stitching, plastic and metal components, and padding, can all wear out at some point. Beyond two years of constant use, a baby carrier will probably show enough wear to become unsafe and vigilance becomes essential. Our fabrics made of organic cotton or linen are all highly durable and do not age rapidly. Woven baby wraps can stay safe to use for years and years, to the point of being able to pass them down from one generation to the next.
The knits used to make the head supports in our Trek and Multi 2.0 contain Spandex, but in 10 years of using the fabrics, we have yet to find any significant signs of wear in any one of them. Zippers and buckles sometimes need to be changed over time. Should you have doubts about the state or safety of your baby carrier, we can examine it for you and repair it to give it more years with your family. Taking good care of your baby carrier means having it for longer, for each new addition to your family, bringing you help and comfort for many more years!
