Want to wear your baby but have no idea where to start? Baby’s First Ride is your introduction to safe, comfortable, everyday babywearing—designed especially for expecting families, parents/caregivers of babies 0–3 months. Whether you’re pregnant and want to feel prepared before baby arrives or you’re already in the newborn stage wondering what the heck to do with all those straps, this class will help you feel more confident getting started.
We’ll cover the foundations of safe babywearing, including airway awareness, newborn positioning, hip position, carrier fit, and how to recognize when baby is positioned safely and comfortably. You’ll also get an introduction to the wide world of baby carriers. We’ll talk about the seven different style categories available—so you can understand your options and start figuring out what might work best for you.
Then we’ll get hands-on with two beginner-friendly options: Stretchy Wraps — Learn how to safely create a snug, supportive front carry that's perfect for the newborn stage. Soft Structured Carriers — Learn how to properly adjust and use a buckle carrier for a simple, supportive everyday carry.
You don't need to own a carrier to attend. Though if you already own a carrier(s), it's encouraged you bring them! Come learn your options, practice with guidance and leave feeling more confident about bringing your baby along for the ride.
