Beluga Baby Cove Carrier Review: Fit, Comfort, and Real Life Use From Baby to Big Kid -

The Beluga Baby Cove Carrier is a buckle carrier that has become a go to for me because it grows beautifully with your baby, supports small business, and is made with ethical Canadian manufacturing. I’ve been using it consistently on our coast trip with both my 14 month old and my four year old, and I’ve been able to get a great fit with each of them thanks to the long PFAs and lightweight design. Here’s everything I love about it.

Why I Love Beluga Baby

I care about how things are made and who I’m supporting, and Beluga Baby makes that easy. Their carriers are made locally in Canada with ethical practices, small batch production, and a real commitment to quality. I love supporting a parent led small business that puts intention into every detail.

My Experience With the Cove Carrier

The Cove works from 7 to 50 pounds, which gives you a long window of use. Even though it can be used from 7 pounds, I personally prefer starting with their stretchy wrap for newborns. It is one of my favorite wraps because of the four way stretch and the lightweight feel that is perfect for those postpartum sweaty moments. But once baby gets a little bigger, usually around the two to three month mark, I reach for the Cove more and more.

I brought the Cove Carrier with me to the coast this week and have been using it consistently with both my 14 month old and my four year old. I’ve been surprised by how easy it is to adjust between the two of them and how well the fit works across such a range. It feels supportive without being bulky, which makes it a nice all day option.

Fabric Notes

• Full linen feels a bit stiffer at first but offers firm support.
• Hemp and organic cotton blend comes softer from the beginning and breaks in quickly.
• Both fabrics feel breathable and lightweight.

Fit, Comfort, and Function

• Long PFAs help you fine tune the fit to your body type and get a higher back carry if you prefer it. They also make it easier to adjust for comfortable breastfeeding on the go.
• Chest clip on a sliding rail makes quick adjustments simple.
• Waterfall style panel adds support while still feeling lightweight.
• Shoulder straps have padding but stay streamlined, which keeps the carrier easy to move in.
• Works well for a wide range of ages and sizes, including toddlers and preschoolers in quick up and down moments.

What Stands Out Most

• Small business that prioritizes care and craftsmanship
• Breathable, comfortable fabrics
• Versatility from baby to big kid moments
• User friendly design that supports comfortable breastfeeding

The Cove Carrier is lightweight, ethically made in Canada, and works from 7 to 50 pounds.
It has a slimmer waistband that fits many body types well, especially average to longer torsos.
Both my slimmer frame and my husband’s broader build have gotten a great fit, from small baby through our four year old.
The long PFAs allow easy breastfeeding adjustments and help you fine tune the shoulder fit for more comfort.
It is one of the simplest carriers with a wide usable age range, and I find it fast and intuitive from about two to three months and up.

Final Thoughts

The Cove Carrier has been such a reliable, easy to use option for our family, and one of the things I appreciate most is how well it fits across a wide range of body types. The slimmer waistband helps it contour comfortably, and most people will get their best fit if they start with the waistband very high on the waist with a small baby. As your child grows, the waistband naturally drops lower on your waist and eventually toward your hips, which helps keep the carry comfortable over time.

It is worth noting that this carrier tends to fit average to longer torsos especially well. I have a slimmer frame and my husband has a broader build, and we have both been able to get a great fit from the early baby months all the way through carrying our four year old. While it might not be the most ideal option for the higher end of the plus size spectrum, many caregivers still find it comfortable, and the thoughtful design details help support a wide range of fits.

The PFAs on the shoulder straps do not change the panel height, but they do give you more control over how the shoulder straps sit on your body. This makes it easier to get a customized feel, even on slimmer frames, and can help you dial in the perfect spot for comfort. It also allows for a bit more flexibility when getting a higher back carry if that is what you prefer.

Overall, the Cove is one of the best simple carriers for families who want something lightweight, supportive, and usable across a long stretch of time. I find it especially fast and intuitive from about two to three months and up, which makes it a dependable everyday choice as your baby grows.
