DracoMom Carriers De Novo collection, Counting Stars

I have pleasure to test DracoMom de Novo. The quality and comfort of the product are well designed. It is possible to wear cross straps or H and I really like this option. I also really like detachable hood and mash which will be ideal for summer. Thank you for the opportunity to test this carrier.

Thanks to Lenas Travelling Carriers and Mirta I had the opportunity to test 2 DracoMom carriers.
The first model is Close 2 Heart, “Triangle Theory with Red field”, baby size (1,5mos – 2yrs) and the second model is De Novo “Counting Stars” (mesh+cover) standard size (1,5mo – 2 yrs).
The Close 2 heart model offers 2 positions, front carry tummy to tummy and a back carry. This model has a little thicker waistbelt than the De Novo model. Both carriers have medium thick shoulder straps and they fit perfectly on my small shoulders. They also have pfa on shoulder straps so you can fit your carrier perfectly how your baby grows. Close 2 heart model has rounded shoulder straps, and De Novo has straight shoulder straps.
De Novo model also has a possibility to wear the shoulder straps crossed at the back (in an x) which is great if you are a tiny person like me, or if two different people are using the same carrier. The shoulder straps on De Novo can also be tightened in both directions. I really don’t prefer this option because with most carriers I can’t tighten the straps backwards. But Draco really passed this test. It was super easy to tighten it for me. Another advantage on the De Novo model is the mesh on the panel which is great for hot summer days. I also like that both models have a detachable hood. I don’t usually use the hood but I still like to have it close to me when my stubborn girl finally falls asleep and I can cover her head. Even though De Novo offers the opportunity for a hip carry, I haven’t tried it. My daughter wasn’t very cooperative.
At first I was hesitant about my application for this test tour because I wasn’t sure whether my girl would fit in the carriers. She fits perfectly (legs still have a M position) although she is 2 yrs old, wears size 86 and weighs about 10 kg. I also tried them with my professional demo doll. I tried both carriers in longer walks, front carry and back carry. After weighing the advantages and disadvantages for both carriers, I have concluded that the Close to heart model is more to my taste.
Thank you DracoMom and Mirna for making such amazing carriers.

Thanks to Lenine putujuce nosiljke (Lena’s traveling carriers) and @ Mirta Zlošilo I had the opportunity to test the model De Novo from DracoMom carriers.
The carrier is super light and comfortable, it’s not chunky on the body and you can also fold it very neatly. It is very practical and offers soooo many features. There are three ways to carry – front, back and hip. You can cross the straps at the back, you can detach the hood, you can tighten the shoulder straps in both directions, you can adjust the panel width and hight. You name it, this carrier has it 😊
I would also love if there was a pocket for the hood, otherwise I would defintiely loose the hood once I detach it 😊 And I was a bit confused with the instructions beacuse they do not highlight or explain all these great features I have mentioned but I had so much fun finding them on my own.
All in all, a great carrier, very practical and modular.

we had a chance to try De Novo – “Counting Stars” Standard size. I was afraid my 1year old would be to big for a baby size carrier but she fit perfectly. The carrier was easy to adjust and very comfortable to carry in. Even my husband enjoyed it and he doesn’t really like to switch from his Tula carrier.

Thanks to Lenas Travelling Carriers and Mirta I had the opportunity to test 2 DracoMom carriers.
The first model is Close 2 Heart, “Triangle Theory with Red field”, baby size (1,5mos – 2yrs) and the second model is De Novo “Counting Stars” (mesh+cover) standard size (1,5mo – 2 yrs).
With both we only try front carry tummy to tummy. We loved both model. They are soo easy to adjust, have a good back support. I have tried Close 2 heart with 2 children and it’s piece of cake to do quick transfer and adjustment. De Novo comes with mesh+cover that has proven to be very practical. For example we used when going to the store and when we go in just roll up mesh+cover to keep the baby from getting hot. #ltc #dracomomcarriers

I tested both the De Novo (stars) carrier with mesh and the Close 2 Heart carrier (triangles) with my 4,5-month-old baby who weighs almost 8kg. Both carriers were very comfortable and provided sufficient options for fine-tuning the straps. I am quite short (155cm) so I like the fact that you can cross the straps on the De Novo carrier, although the standard option suited me as well. My goal was to find a carrier for the summer and I must say that the mesh really helps. I did have some difficulty adjusting the panel length, but after several attempts and some guidance, I managed to set it just right. In the end the testing process resulted with my ordering of a wrapster carrier with mesh and cover ❤

Thanks to Lenin’s traveling carrier and DracoMom for allowing us to try out the De Novo carrier. The carrier is great even our little butt fills it up great (8 months, 7 kg and 70 cm 😁) the panels are not thick which is great for me and the double strap for adjustment is great. I’m always missing a place for a cell phone, so here’s an idea for a small purse.🇭🇷🇭🇷

This is first time I tried DracoMom Carrier and that was love at first sight!
Before DracoMom I used carrier that was complicated for me and with many straps.
Now with DracoMom, I learnt that babywering isn’t complicated!
My baby girl was easily carried in it and really enjoyed.
First DracoMom Carrier was Enternal- Baby Size in Black that fits all my outfits.
After quick adjustments we go for an hour walk. You can just look at my baby’s face how happy she is!
There was no painback anymore like with previous carrier.
Second DracoMom Carrier was De Novo- Baby size in Black with Stars.
That carrier have option to put straps in X position which enables less strain on the back even more!
We really enjoyed all day in it and I easily put my baby girl in and out of the carrier.
So this defenitley fulfilled my expectations and more! My girl is 11 months and 9.5 kg and for now our best way was to carry her on front in mommy’s hug 🥰.
I’m really grateful for having opportunity for tying DracoMom.
