Summer brings sunshine, good mood – and for parents with babies, also the question: How do I carry my baby in high temperatures without both of us getting sweaty?
Don't worry: With a few tricks, babywearing can be enjoyable even in the heat. Here are our 7 best tips for babywearing in summer – including special rookie hacks for the premium elite.
1. Choose the right clothes - for you and your baby
In summer, less is more.
-
For your baby:
-
Lightweight cotton or linen clothing
-
No overly thick rompers
-
Make sure that no seams or buttons are pressing against your baby when they are in the carrier.
-
-
For you:
-
Lightweight clothing made from natural fibers
-
Tops without thick seams in the shoulder area
-
2. Use the fold-out headrest of the Rookie Premium Elite
The fold-out headrest of the Rookie Premium Elite is a real game-changer in the summer:
✅ Here's how to use them cleverly:
-
Sun protection: Protect your baby's head from direct sunlight when you are outdoors.
-
Protection from drafts: Perfect for air-conditioned rooms.
-
More peace and quiet: Some babies sleep more peacefully when they are in a more secluded environment.
Important: In high temperatures, you should regularly lower the headrest to allow air to circulate. Check frequently that your baby is getting enough fresh air!
3. Opt for organic fabrics with UV protection
The Rookie Premium Elite is made from organic cotton with integrated UV protection – perfect for sunny days.
-
Organic fabrics are more breathable and absorb moisture better.
-
UV protection helps to provide additional protection for sensitive baby skin.
A clear advantage over many conventional stretchers made of synthetic material.
4. Use muslin cloths to combat sweating
An absolute insider tip: muslin scarves.
-
Place a thin muslin cloth between you and your baby in the carrier.
-
It absorbs sweat and ensures that you two don't stick to each other so much.
-
Practical: Muslin dries quickly and fits in any bag.
Especially in the Rookie Premium Elite, you can easily insert a muslin cloth without affecting the fit. Just make sure there are no creases pressing against it.
5. Prefer light colors
Light colors reflect sunlight – dark colors store heat.
→ The Rookie Premium Elite comes in beautiful, light colors that are perfect for warm days. This keeps it more comfortable for you and your baby.
6. Plan breaks for carrying the baby.
Even if your baby loves being close: Breaks are important in high temperatures.
-
Treat yourselves both to a refreshing break regularly.
-
Take your baby out of the carrier from time to time so that air can reach their skin.
-
Stay in the shade whenever possible.
7. Don't forget to drink!
-
Babies lose more fluid in hot weather.
-
If you are breastfeeding: Offer your breast more often.
-
For yourself: Drink, drink, drink! Your body needs more fluids, especially when carrying heavy loads.
