our story
We are a family owned business that has been making the best carriers available since 2006! Our carriers are ergonomic, ASTM & CPSC safety tested & compliant, hand-made in the USA, and *easy* to use. Our innovative design allows you to safely and comfortably carry from newborn to preschool without any extra inserts, or time wasted adjusting the size of the carrier.
what makes us special
Our unique built-in infant harness on our Hydrogen model boosts your baby so they stay safe and secure in the carrier. No time waisted with hot bulky inserts, fumbling trying to put your baby into the carrier, or adjusting the seat width hoping you are getting it right. We take the guess work and struggles out of wearing!
what others are saying
"The Olives & Applesauce Hydrogen carrier has become my “go-to” carrier in my educator bag. As a babywearing consultant, I help new families navigate the baby carrier market to select the carrier perfect for their lifestyle. I realized not to long after using the carrier myself it was a perfect solution for so many families. O&A Hydrogen Carrier is quick, comfortable, and so size inclusive! My clients really love that they can carry their older child then switch to carrying their newborn without any extra gear."
