The Original Kangaroo Shirt
A premium, CPSC-certified baby-carrier Kangaroo Shirt that looks and feels like a fitted athletic tee while safely holding your newborn against your chest—hands free, strap-free, hassle-free.
What is a Kangaroo Shirt?
It’s a CPSC-certified baby-carrier T-shirt with a built-in, ergonomically sculpted pouch that holds your newborn (up to 15 lb / 7 kg) high on your chest—hands-free, strap-free and stylish.
How is this different from a traditional baby carrier or wrap?
No bulky straps, buckles or long fabric to tie. Kangaroo Shirt looks like a fitted athletic tee, slips on in seconds, and still meets the same U.S. safety standard (16 CFR 1225) as soft-structured carriers.
What fabrics are used?
A custom-milled 68 % polyester / 28 % rayon / 4 % spandex shell (~260 gsm) for four-way stretch and durability, plus a bamboo-viscose moisture-wicking liner inside the pouch. The mom-focused Soothe Shirt adds a soft micro-modal bra panel.
Will it be too hot for me or my baby?
A hidden hip-to-hip hex-mesh panel channels airflow, while the bamboo liner pulls sweat off skin—keeping both of you up to 30 % cooler than solid-fabric carrier tees.
Is the Kangaroo Shirt safe?
Yes. Each shirt is load-tested to 15 lb and third-party certified to the CPSC soft-structured carrier standard. Triple bartacks and double-needle seams prevent tearing even after 50 wash cycles.
Can I breastfeed in it?
The Soothe Shirt’s micro-modal bra panel offers light support and quick-dry absorbency, making on-the-go nursing easy. Simply lower the pouch rim slightly to latch.
What age or weight range is ideal?
Perfect for newborns up to roughly 4–6 months (max 15 lb / 7 kg). Once baby can sit unassisted or exceeds the weight limit, transition to a standard carrier.
