Why Choose Soul? - Test
We are a family run business started by parents on a mission to reach other families and caregivers everywhere with the freedom and magic of babywearing. Chinmayie, our founder, started Soul in 2014 out of her home, when she couldn’t find quality baby carriers for herself in India. She fell in love with babywearing with her second child and quickly learned that there is more to baby carriers than just having your hands free.
The brand has grown exponentially over the last 6 years and today we can proudly say that we are India’s largest and best ergonomic baby carrier brand.
By Parents, for ParentsSoul is led by two designers, Chinmayie and Ravindra, who are also babywearing parents passionate about attachment parenting, and supported by an online team of mothers, all of whom have worn their babies too! It is because of this unique combination that we are able to fully recognise our customers’ needs, resulting in products that you love - safe, affordable, beautiful baby carriers.
Safe CarryingOur team’s collective years of carrying experiences help us understand the different needs of different families, and that comfort and safety need to go hand in hand for a positive babywearing experience. All our baby carriers are ergonomically designed by babywearing parents and certified babywearing educators. All our carriers are tested and certified to international standards. All the hardware - buckles, straps, snaps, and zippers - that goes into your baby carrier is of the best, safest, certified quality. We use only 100% natural fabrics - linen and cotton - for all our carriers. Our fabrics are weight tested for safety and we only use baby-safe dyes, no chemicals, no nasties!

Earth LoveWe believe that our greatest responsibility is to our home - our planet. In a time of climate change, depleting resources, and consumerism, we have time and again had to ask ourselves what is most important to us? 2020 brought with it a renewed dedication to our Earth. Going back to our core philosophies of sustainability, eco-friendliness, and mindful choices, we made a big conscious choice to stop international shipping entirely. Our continued efforts include working with manufacturers who use solar and wind energy to power their plants, using packaging which has no print on it to avoid the use of harmful chemicals and our reusable cloth Kora cotton carrier drawstring pouches. We pioneered a change in the elaborate paper billing process of our logistics provider by optimising and digitising their invoice delivery system. These are some of our small steps to a greater change, and we are committed to always making choices that are better for our planet.
