Okay, let’s talk about the HoodieCarrier 2—because this one honestly surprised me. Love Radius (formerly JPMBB) has a reputation for stylish, parent-friendly carriers, but the HoodieCarrier 2 isn’t just about looks. It feels good. It fits well. And for many families, it might be that perfect middle ground between cozy and structured.
First Impressions
The name says it all—hoodie. This carrier has a soft, sweatshirt-like outer feel, and it gives off major loungewear vibes in the best way possible way. It doesn’t look bulky or technical. If you’ve ever wanted a carrier that blends in with your outfit without sacrificing function—this one checks that box.
It also uses 3D mesh inside, so while the outside feels soft and cozy, the inside is breathable and surprisingly cool. A thoughtful contrast that works really well.
Fit and Feel
The HoodieCarrier 2 is designed to work from newborn (no insert needed!) through toddlerhood. The panel adjusts in width and height, and the support feels solid—especially for a soft-feeling carrier. The shoulder straps are comfortable, and while the padding is minimal, it’s dense and ergonomic.
I love how compact it is. It doesn’t feel like you’re suiting up for a hike just to carry your baby through Target. And that means it’s great for travel, quick ups, or low-key daily wearing.
What I Love
- Soft outer fabric that feels like your favorite hoodie
- Mesh interior keeps baby and wearer cool
- Sleek, compact design that doesn’t feel bulky
- No infant insert needed—adjusts with baby
- Crossover straps are a great fit for smaller or narrow frames
What I Wish Were Different
It’s not as padded or structured as some heavier-duty carriers, which makes sense for its design—but if you’re carrying a 30lb toddler all day, you might notice that difference over time.
Also, the aesthetic isn’t for everyone. If you love bold prints or artisan wovens, this one might feel too plain. But for neutral-lovers? It’s a dream.
Who I recommend it for
- Parents who want comfort and style in one
- Families looking for a breathable, soft-structured carrier
- Newborn-to-toddler wearers who prefer a lower-profile look
- Petite wearers who want crossover straps and less bulk
- Anyone who loves a cozy, modern vibe in their gear
Final Thoughts
The HoodieCarrier 2 is the kind of carrier that doesn’t scream for attention—but quietly becomes a favorite. It’s simple, smart, and stylish. If you want something soft enough for a newborn and sleek enough to blend in with everyday wear, this one’s worth trying.
