How is the Sprout different from the Lark Baby Carrier?Updated 11 hours ago
The Lark is our beloved full-size carrier designed to grow with your baby from 10-45 pounds, perfect for older babies and toddlers. The Sprout is designed specifically for newborns, from 7-24 pounds.
Key differences:
Sprout (Newborn-Specific):
- 7-24 pounds (true newborn sizing)
- Compact design that packs down to palm-sized
- Panel proportions designed for tiny babies
- Perfect fit from day one, no insert needed
- Ideal for those first 6 months
Lark (Grows With Baby):
- 10-45 pounds (baby needs to be in 3-6 month clothing to fit the panel properly)
- Larger panel that adjusts as baby grows
- Front and back carry options
- Takes you through toddlerhood
- More versatile for long-term use
Think of it this way: the Sprout is purpose-built for those precious early months when your baby needs to be held close and most carriers feel too big. The Lark is your go-to once baby outgrows the Sprout and will take you all the way through toddlerhood.
Many parents love having both: the Sprout for newborn days, then transitioning to the Lark as baby grows.
