Ubuntu Baba

Organic h**p baby carriers for a calmer parenting journey. Est 2015. Designed and made in Cape Town. And with that, Ubuntu Baba was born.
(432)

As a sleep deprived and frustrated first time mom, Shannon McLaughlin, founder and creator of Ubuntu Baba, quickly realised that her baby needed her 24/7 and the only way she saw to make that work was to have him on her body...

She set out in 2015, purchasing 6 different baby carriers trying to find the perfect one. Struggling with all of them, she realised that to solve this problem, she would n

eed to design her own. Having a Dad in the backpack manufacturing business and a Mom with a background in fashion design, she had resources at her disposal and set out to reach her goal of creating an easy to use, breathable and comfortable carrier that could be used from the newborn days onwards and grow with her baby. After many different prototypes, and assuring her design team time and time again that; “okay, I swear this is the one!”, Shannon finally managed to design her dream baby carrier. With her baby boy comfortably asleep on her chest, she could now continue on her journey of motherhood with comfort and ease.

And the reason for the repair?

One adventurous pup.
One very tasty-looking clip.
One well-loved Ubuntu Baba Carrier. ♥️

Accidents happen, but that’s exactly why we offer our Repair Service.

Instead of replacing a carrier you love, let us help restore it so it’s ready for many more babywearing adventures.

Because every carrier has a story-and we’d love to help yours continue. ♥️

The fourth trimester is real - is your baby asking to be carried?

Your baby spent 9 months listening to your heartbeat.
For many newborns, being carried close recreates the comfort they’ve always known-the warmth of your body, the gentle movement of your steps, your familiar voice and heartbeat.
This is why babywearing can be such a powerful tool during the fourth trimester, helping little ones feel secure as they adjust to life outside the womb.♥️

Happy Father’s Day!! 🩵

❤️

There is something beautiful about the way a father holds his child.

Strong hands that become gentle. A steady heart that becomes a safe place. A love that quietly says, “I’ve got you,” every step of the way.

This Father’s Day week, we’re celebrating the dads who carry more than just their little ones. They carry dreams, worries, bedtime stories, adventures, and countless precious moments that become lifelong memories.

To every dad who shows up, who loves deeply, who learns as he goes, and who treasures the little arms wrapped around his neck — we see you.

Thank you for being the heroes in your children’s stories.

What makes an Ubuntu Baba carrier worth the investment?

Every Ubuntu Baba carrier is made with quality, longevity and people in mind.

From our premium organic h**p fabric to local South African manufacturing, every detail is carefully considered to create a carrier that’s made to last through years of babywearing and backed by a lifetime guarantee (on all stitching and workmanship).

We choose durable materials, ethical production, and local craftsmanship over mass production — because we believe the products carrying your babies should be made with care at every step.
