Crafty Little Slings Podaegi

Description

Why we love it:

This podaegi is a fab sunny rainbow from our friends at Crafty Little Slings and the wide moldable wrap straps make for a comfy carrier.

Podaegis are fab. Podaegi (pronounced poh-deh-gee) are based on Korean designs. Podaegis have quilted, wide blankets with a strap across the top. Podaegis are intended for back carrying. They are like mei dais but without the waist straps, so essentially a rectangle of material (called the blanket) with two shoulder straps, one on each top corner. You tie the shoulder straps much like you do with a mei dai, by crossing them over and under baby’s knee pits, to form a seat with the blanket exactly where it’s needed. One podaegi will therefore suit from newborn to pre-schooler with no faffing in between to adjust.

You might see this type of carrier referred to as a ‘pod’ but this shortening of podaegi is now considered outdated. Podaegi means “baby blanket with strap.“
