What makes the Sprout newborn-specific?Updated 11 hours ago

Everything! The proportions, the weight range (7-24 lbs), the panel dimensions, and the apron-style waistband are all built around those early months when your baby needs to be held close.

Key newborn-specific features:

• Smaller panel that won't bury tiny babies
• Natural C-curve spine support for proper positioning
• Apron-style waistband sits higher to avoid C-section incisions and sensitive postpartum areas
• Compact size (7-24 lbs) for the first moments instead of trying to make one carrier fit birth through toddlerhood

Unlike full-size carriers with newborn inserts, the Sprout doesn't require adapting or adding pieces. There's no insert to figure out because it doesn't need one! It's simply designed to fit newborns properly from the start.
