KeaBabies Ergonomic Baby Wrap | NDIS Hands-Free Parenting Aid

Empower your parenting journey and maintain independence with the KeaBabies Baby Wrap Carrier. Classified as low cost assistive technology, this ergonomic wrap is designed to support NDIS participants who are parenting with a physical disability, chronic pain, or limited upper limb mobility.

Traditional carriers with buckles and rigid frames can be difficult to manipulate for parents with dexterity challenges. This wrap utilizes a soft, proprietary stretch fabric that contours to the body, eliminating complex clips. By evenly redistributing the baby’s weight across the back and shoulders, it significantly reduces the physical strain on arms and wrists, making it an essential tool for parents with conditions like arthritis, carpal tunnel, or chronic fatigue. Crucially, it enables "hands-free" caregiving, allowing the user to simultaneously manage mobility aids (such as a wheelchair or cane) or perform daily living tasks while keeping their infant secure.

How This Device Supports NDIS Participants

• Facilitating Hands-Free Parenting: Allows parents to safely carry their child while keeping both hands free to use mobility aids, perform household tasks, or tend to other children.

• Pain & Fatigue Management: Distributes the child's weight evenly across the torso, reducing the load on the spine and arms, which is vital for participants with chronic back pain or low muscle tone.

• Sensory Regulation (For the Child): The snug, womb-like environment provides deep pressure (proprioception), which can help regulate infants with sensory processing sensitivities or high needs.

• Accessible Design: The tie-style closure does not require fine finger dexterity to operate snaps or buckles, supporting independence for users with hand limitations.

Key Features & Benefits

• Ergonomic Weight Distribution: Engineered to spread weight across the back and shoulders, preventing pressure points and supporting longer periods of wear without fatigue.

• IHDI Certified Hip-Healthy: Certified by the International Hip Dysplasia Institute, ensuring the baby is held in the correct "M" position for healthy development.

• Proprietary Breathable Fabric: Made from a specialized stretchy material that offers a secure hold without sagging, while remaining breathable to prevent overheating for both parent and child.

• One-Size-Fits-All: The 500cm length accommodates all body types, including plus-size parents or those with changing body shapes post-partum.

• Versatile Use: Can also be used as a breastfeeding cover or a postpartum belly support belt, maximizing the utility of the item.
