FAQs
Can I use the ROOKIE Premium Elite baby carrier for newborns?
Yes, the ROOKIE Premium Elite baby carrier is suitable from 3 kg and can be used up to 15 kg.
Thanks to its continuously adjustable base, it adapts perfectly to your baby's hips and grows with them. The softly padded neck support also provides extra support, especially for newborns.
What does it mean when a baby carrier is ergonomic?
Your baby should be sitting in the recommended frog-leg position, i.e., the legs are bent at least at a right angle and the back is slightly rounded.
This supports the healthy development of your child's spine and muscles.
The adjustable seat width (10-40cm) allows you to adapt the carrier to your child's size: the seat width should always be adjusted so that it runs from the back of one knee to the back of the other. The head can be further secured with a headrest.
The Rookie has been certified as a hip-friendly baby carrier by the International Hip Dysplasia Institute.
Can I carry my baby on my back with the ROOKIE Premium Elite?
Yes, thanks to the variable shoulder strap guidance in X or H shape, the Rookie Premium Elite offers you the flexibility to carry your baby both on your chest and on your back.
We recommend back carrying from about 6 months of age, once your baby has stable head and torso control.
Can I carry my baby facing outwards in the ROOKIE?
Carrying the baby facing outwards is not recommended by experts, which is why the Rookie baby carrier does not support this position.
One important reason is the frog-leg position, which is essential for the healthy development of your baby's spine and hip joints. When carrying the baby facing forward, the legs and back are stretched, which can negatively affect the still-soft hip joints.
Furthermore, in this position there is no direct eye contact with mom or dad, which means your baby cannot recognize important facial and verbal feedback – an essential basis for early childhood communication.
For an ergonomic and safe carrying position, we recommend carrying it in front of the chest or on the back.
Can I use the ROOKIE Premium Elite baby carrier after a cesarean section?
Yes, many parents also use the ROOKIE baby carrier after a C-section. The waistband sits high on the waist and therefore doesn't lie directly on the sensitive scar area, which can make carrying more comfortable.
Will the ROOKIE Premium Elite baby carrier fit both me and my partner?
Yes! All Rookie baby carriers are “one-size-fits-all”, so both tall men and short women (or vice versa) can use the same carrier.
Thanks to the adjustable waist belt, it adapts individually and is suitable for a waist circumference of approximately 64 cm to 135 cm – for maximum comfort and a perfect fit.
Which carrying positions does the Premium Elite support?
The Premium Elite is optimized for front and back carrying . Thanks to the integrated newborn function, you can carry your baby on your front from birth and on your back from around 6 months.
Wearing the device facing forward is not recommended for ergonomic reasons.
Can I breastfeed while wearing a baby carrier?
Yes, the foldable headrest offers extra privacy while breastfeeding. To breastfeed, position your baby accordingly and ensure they are sitting securely and comfortably – the headrest can be used for added discretion.
How does the Premium Elite differ from previous models?
With the Premium Elite, comfort and design reach the next level. The most popular improvements include the extra-soft padded neck support, the buckle on the waist belt, and breathable material with UV protection. You can find more detailed differences compared to older models on our product comparison page.
How does the ROOKIE baby carrier differ from standard baby carriers?
Our baby carriers are not only beautiful, but also really easy to put on and simple to adjust ergonomically.
The soft shoulder straps adapt perfectly to your body shape and distribute your baby's weight optimally.
Compared to many other carriers, the Premium Elite also impresses with many practical features such as a fold-out headrest, extra neck padding (ideal for newborns), organic fabrics with UV protection and a free babywearing consultation.
Can I wash the baby carrier?
Yes, you can wash your Rookie: hand wash or machine wash on a delicate cycle at 30°C, do not bleach, do not tumble dry, do not iron, do not dry clean.
