Perfect as always❣️ It was wonderful to try @minimonkey thanks to @lenastravelingcarriers ❤️ Baby 16 months, 9 kg, 74 cm 🥰 The carrier handled my baby’s weight and vivacity without any problems. Temperatures went over 30 degrees Celsius. With the airiness of the carrier, we were not warm. It’s easy to adjust and it was really comfortable for us 😍 I’m generally fascinated by @minimonkey carriers. The carrier is extremely convenient for small babies, but it can also support heavier weights. High temperatures are not an obstacle for this carrier 🥰 It is very soft and wonderful❤️ Practically there is no sweating with it 🥰 I did not feel the weight of the baby, neither when carrying it forward nor when carrying it on my back.

I was excited about testing this carrier, as it promised to be a very good solution for hot summer days.
This carrier is indeed very light and weighs less than 400g, plus it’s waterproof and made of some kind of mesh fabric, which makes it breathable as well.
I tried it out with my almost two year old and found it to be a good choice for quick ups and short walks, as the straps and the belt are not padded as much as on some other carriers I am used to.
It is easy to assemble and adjust. The panel itself (width) does not have any stoppers, but is sort of free to move – you can adjust/readjust it with your hands at any time. I think this is a good option for smaller babies, although it didn’t work too well for my kid, because it didn’t provide a knee to knee support and then the panel would just slide back and I had to readjust it while walking.
Another nice option this carrier offers is – crossed straps moment. 🙂
I liked it better this way, because when using the back strap (shoulder straps in H position), I couldn’t bring it low enough and it would end up sitting almost on my neck.
I appreciated the fact that one could use this compact carrier on the beach or in the water.
All in all, I enjoyed testing yet another new carrier and believe this one would be a great choice for smaller babies and hot, summer days at the beach.
Thank you Lenine putujuce nosiljke (Lena’s traveling carriers) for this great opportunity.

Thanks to Lena’s traveling carriers, my babies and I had an opportunity to use Minimonkey mesh carrier. It is incredibly lightweight, easy to pack, and carry in a bag. The mesh fabric is quite suitable for hot days. The carrier is very easy to be put on and off. We used it during our trip by plane, and it was very useful for baby to be calm, and my hands free. I had to take the baby out of the carrier more than 2 times during boarding procedure and it was very nice that this carrier is so easy to set up, adjust and to remove when it is necessary. On the first try I can say that the carrier I am used to is more padded and therefore more comfortable. But I didn’t have any difficulties carrying my 6-month-old baby in it even for hours.
We tried carrying on the back with my 20-month-old baby and it was really easy to readjust carrier and width of the panel. Both babies and mom really enjoyed. Thanks once again, Lena’s traveling carriers for this opportunity.

I was testing this carrier for a week with my 6 months/7.5kg old boy . My only complaint about mini sling was carrying on one shoulder which is obviously not the case here 🙂 meaning I can not found any flaw here. Better redistribution of weight on both shoulders with crossed straps is also a plus. So overal impresion is – great soulution for summer, small, light, takes minimum space when folded. I would put some more padding on the lower back, as buckle is located there. Easy to put on and adjust. Without any extra effort baby is in correct ergonomic position

I had a chance to test this carrier with 9,5 months old baby (a bit over 9 kg).
It’s great for these hot days and short walks.
Fabric is mostly mesh with stretching synthetic around.
To be honest, I expected it to be cozier for carrier but baby liked it a lot 🙂
It’s easy to pack and carry around in small bag that comes with it.

I was so excited to try this lightweight airy carrier with my 4 month old around 8 kg baby. He fell asleap as soon as I tried it on 🥰 we don’t handle heat very well but in this carier I was cariing him in the middle of the hot july day and we didint break a sweat. On the other hand I’m used to more padded straps and the x straps were constantly going up my neck because his weight was pulling it down. His butt was hanging over the belt but the belt wasnt moving down. Overall I think of this carrier as cabriolet of carriers verry pretty, great for summer but for smaller babies and short walks. Thanks #lenastravelingcarriers for this great oportunity

I had the pleasure of testing this baby carrier for 5 days, with my 8.5 month old baby that weighed about 9,5 kg at the time of testing. We really enjoyed it, since we had it during some really hot days. It is great for summer, since it is really light and airy. Also, we mannaged to do breastfeeding while wearing, which is our favourite part of wearing in general. For me, it wasn’t that comfortable for longer wearing, it is a bit stiff and I had to hold baby’s head when she fell asleep, since the panel is not adjustable by height. But I think the baby really enjoyed it. Anyway, it is a great choice for hot summer days, and probably more comfortable with smaller babies.
Thank you, #lenastravellingcarriers, for giving us this opportunity.

Thanks to the Lena’s traveling carriers we had the opportunity to test out this amazing carrier. My impression is that is perfect for hot summer days and small babies! If I had a newborn I would definitely buy myself this carrier! Very lightweight and very easy for transport and adjustment. Mini monkey brand is definitely my first choice when the little babies are in question.
My baby is 11 months and around 11 kg so definitely its on heavier side. But it was working fine for us.

Minimonkey SSC
What a lightweight carrier ! That was my first impression of the Minimonkey SSC. The material is very light and soft, the mesh fabric gives enough for the comfortable side.
The carrier comes with a suitable bag ready to take with you in a mommy bag and doesn’t take up much space which is always a plus.
The baby tester is 6mnths and 6,5kg, and the mommy tester (aka me) is 165cm and 70kg.
The design is very begginer friendly and intuitive. I like the fact that it is very adjustable and easy to put on effortlessly. It is easy to get it all symetrical which is important for ergonomic carrying.
It looks and feels like an ideal companion for short walks, doing errands or carrying the baby while going for the older child in kindergarden (like myself). It is also great for back carrying and easy to adjust.
The black colour goes well with anything, and it is good-looking for both mom and dad.

MiniMonkey Baby Carrier (Soft-Structured Carrier – SSC)
Tester: A 7-Month-Old, 9kg Baby
Experience:
My adventure with the MiniMonkey Baby Carrier was nothing short of an exciting journey into the future of babywearing. I had my initial reservations about the material, comfort, style, and durability of this unique carrier, but it pleasantly surprised me on multiple fronts.
Material and Comfort:
The material was not only lightweight but also soft to the touch, making it an ideal choice for both me and my baby. I was particularly amazed by the fact that my baby slept soundly in this carrier, a feat achieved only in ring slings or woven wraps previously.
Comfort and Durability:
For me, the carrier was most comfortable in the X position (although I didn’t have the opportunity to explore back carrying). What truly stood out was the carrier’s apparent durability. From the robust buckles to the overall design, it looked like it was built to withstand even the most challenging adventures.
Perfect for Summer:
While I couldn’t personally test its most important feature as a summer beach carrier, I must emphasize that it is the most intriguing, easy-packing, lightweight, and handy carrier I’ve ever tried. It holds incredible promise for those sunny days at the shore.
A Few Concerns:
However, I do share some concerns. Mostly, I agree with Александра Јоксимовић and I will just add one more, peculiar one. Usually, when I’m babywearing, people are perceptive and and they make room for me to pass on the sidewalk, in the aisle or on the bus but with this carrier they managed to bump at me and my baby more often. My wardrobe is mostly black and I am tiny so probably that combination made my baby less visible in those urban situations when nobody have time to notice anything.
As a remedy, I’m seriously contemplating adding some bright orange neon straps to the carrier. This simple addition could enhance our visibility during urban walks, ensuring a safer and more pleasant experience.
Conclusion:
The MiniMonkey Baby Carrier is a remarkable, futuristic addition to the world of babywearing. Its lightness, comfort, and durability make it a compelling choice for parents seeking a versatile carrier. While it might make you feel a bit incognito in urban environments, with a touch of neon, it could be the ideal carrier for both adventures and everyday life. Prepare for a journey filled with pleasant surprises and the joy of having your baby close in the MiniMonkey Carrier.
