WaterLand Baby Carrier
The baby carrier made for the water.
Will it fit me?
One size, adjustable: it fits a chest of about 30–56 in (76–142 cm), from a women’s XS to about a 4XL or a men’s S to about a 3XL. Adjust it once at home, then it goes on like a T-shirt.
How to go in
- Before you go in, check the fit: face in view, chin off chest, close enough to kiss.
- Get in by steps or a gentle slope, holding a rail.
- Stand with both feet on the bottom, in calm water no deeper than your waist.
- Keep your baby’s face well clear of the water.
- Get out the same way, holding the rail.
- Keep first sessions short: about 15 minutes.

Pool days and beach trips, in parents' own words.

This is so nice to use in the water with baby! I’m able to stay hands-free and play with my older kids, plus baby loves being close! Win-win!
Abby Welteroth -
Absolutely LOVE this! I used this for the first time with my 7 month old who had never been in a pool. I was nervous to put him in the pool, but using this carrier I felt so much more confident. He was right on me and so secure. He loved the water!
Sienna Sanderson -
My wife ordered this and I'll admit I wasn't sure we needed another baby carrier. Then I used it at the pool once and completely got it. Having our son close while still being able to use both hands made water time so much easier.
Jacobb -
This is great. Comfortable for me and baby
Selena bay -
I bought it as a gift for my sister. And it has been a great help for the kids in the pool. It fits well, it's comfortable for both.

Very helpful when you have a young one who does not like pool floats! We genuinely loved having this carrier with us for our beach trip and we use it regularly when we are at the pool on the weekends. Our five month old does not enjoy the baby pool float, but he loves being strapped on to me. I will say going from a normal carrier to this carrier, it is a little bit harder to adjust in my opinion because all of the adjustments happen on one side. But overall, we really like it and it dries super fast. It comes with instructions to help you learn how to use it properly. It allowed me to have extra hands since I have two other boys who do not know how to swim.

This water carrier is amazing! I am so excited for my babies first summer, trips to the pool and the beach just got so much easier! The color is absolutely beautiful and it feels like great quality
Katelyn -
Absolutely love this baby carrier. Incredible for the water. I used it in the ocean and pool, both my baby and I loved it. Easy to put on and take off. Thoughtfully designed!
Taylor Frost -
Love this carrier! Super comfortable, easy to put on, and very supportive. The fabric is soft but sturdy, and it distributes weight evenly. My baby feels secure and cozy, and I love how adjustable and breathable it is. Great quality and totally worth it.
B. Sobel -
This was amazing! It worked perfect in the water and wasn’t too heavy and dried very quickly. My baby absolutely loved it.
Alicia Singleton -
Took this product with me on vacation for my little one! It is so great and mom friendly for a first time mom. Made me feel that i can enjoy the pool with my kid and not worry about anything else as he is attached to me.
Alexander -
I bought this for my sister-in-law, and it has been a game changer! The carrier is incredibly comfortable and simple to use. She’s told me how much it’s helped handling the kids in the pool beso much easier, especially when there’s more than one to keep an eye on. It’s the perfect solution for anyone who spends time near water with little ones. Definitely worth the purchase
Dina R -
I had seen WaterLand all over Instagram before ordering, so I was worried it might be one of those products that looks better online than in real life. It wasn't. The carrier feels really well made, the color is beautiful, and the neoprene has a premium feel without being stiff. The fit felt secure once adjusted, and it stayed that way in the water. Even after several pool days and rinses, ours still looks great. It feels like a product that was actually designed around being wet.
Charlotte King -
Love love love it!!! Pool and Beach lifesaver. I’m the nervous-in-the-water parent… and this changed everything. Our 9-month-old fit perfectly and felt safe, so we could actually enjoy the vaction.
Sky -
Wish I had this for my first baby! This carrier was perfect for the beach and the pool this summer. Comfortable to wear and baby was content in it. Easy to use/get on, felt that baby was well secured. Material dried well. Great price point compared to the more expensive brand.
Katie Fischels -
Definitely worth the money. I absolutely loved this carrier! It helps keep your hands free especially if you are taking care of a toddler, it’s super lightweight and honestly way more comfortable than my regular carrier. Easy to take on and off. I loved the material. My mom also was easily able to use it as well when she carried my daughter. This item Definitely made me feel better about going near water with my baby. Highly recommend and so worth it.
Sierra V -
Totally worth it! I bought this carrier because I had plans to take my 5 year old and 1 year old to the water park and knew I would need both hands to help wrangle my 5 year old. This was worth every penny! My 1 year old even slept through the lazy river! This will be a summer staple for sure!!
Caitlin Murray -
Buy this now! 10/10 recommend this for anyone taking a baby to the pool! We took my 6 month old to the beach and he LOVES it! It was easy to pack, quick to put on and not heavy or bulky even when wet! Got so many compliments on it. Will use it all summer and hopefully next. Definitely worth the price!

We're much more of a beach family than a pool family, and WaterLand has been amazing for those shallow-water moments. I like that the neoprene feels like it belongs in the same environment as our wetsuits and swim gear. It doesn't turn into a heavy piece of fabric once wet, and our baby stays close while we walk along the water. We're always careful about conditions and stay shallow, but having a carrier designed specifically for water has made beach days much more enjoyable.
David Turner -
Easy to use my husband was NOT annoyed! Great thing I bought thought I’d use on vacation but we luckily have a pool at home and have been using it ever since vacation! I have a 6month old he got perfect into it . It feels great on your body and it was very easy to use
Vlada -
Really Helpful! Very comfortable and light . I was afraid my son would not be comfortable in it but I was wrong !
Karina Leon -
This was an easy buy as someone who lives in Florida. Between my own pool and many trips to the beach this just makes life a bit easier. Easy to use and setup. Getting our kid in and out of it was simple enough and it was very secure for us. We got it in black, but if I had to do it again, I'd lean towards the lighter colors as it does attract heat in the sun, and holds on to it. Otherwise, very happy.
Z -
LOVE! BUY IT!! Perfect for the beach, the pool, or water parks!!! I’ve gotten so much use out it this summer. It drys instantly and is comfortable for me and my 6 month old. We get tons of compliments on it. Worth the price if you are around water often with a baby!
Allie -
Love this for beach and pool outings! Since the carrier is made of neoprene I'm not worried about it getting damaged by water or salt or chlorine. I didn't love this when my baby was smaller because it didn't have good head support, but now that she's 6 months with great head control this is perfect for those outings. I also find the way this carrier's straps works to actually be a bit more comfortable than my Ergobaby Omni Breeze which expects you to wear the straps over the shoulder. My babe is a little on the smaller side (~25% weight) with really chunky thighs. I had a hard time adjusting the leg/waist straps around her thighs with her facing me, but it all worked a lot better with her facing out. I haven't walked into a pool with her in it yet, but I like that I'll have the option for both of us to dip into the water and cool off without trying to hold onto a slippery baby.

There is always the need to keep the little one's safe and secure during family outings, and this baby carrier delivers. Regarding its intended use, with proper care being taken, the little one will remain safe and sound. I find it to be an excellent and expertly made product with a wonderful design, that can be used nearly anywhere. Although it has a premium price tag.. it is most definitely worth saving for/purchasing.

The WaterLand Baby Carrier is perfect for using with your baby in the pool. It is waterproof and made for getting wet. It allows you to securely hold your little one in the water. This worked really well for my daughter. We were able to be in the pool with my older child with my hands free.
JC Mama -
Perfect for waterparks! exceeded my expectations! Comfy for both baby and parent! Look forward to using it all some in the pool and waterparks!

Common questions.
Who is it for?
Babies about 4–24 months and 13–33 lb (6–15 kg), once they hold their head steady. Born early? Use their corrected age. Find your fit
Will it fit me?
One size, adjustable: it fits a chest of about 30–56 in (76–142 cm), from a women’s XS to about a 4XL or a men’s S to about a 3XL. Adjust it once at home, then it goes on like a T-shirt.
Can I try it on first?
Yes, at home, before your first water day. Trying it on doesn’t count as use, so you can still return it within our returns window. Returns
What’s in the box?
Your WaterLand carrier, an informational catalog and a drawstring bag to carry it to the pool, the beach or on the go.
What’s the warranty?
A 2-year limited warranty against seam, buckle and neoprene failure from normal pool and sea use (not hot tubs). Terms
Can I use it in the sea or a lake?
Yes, on calm days: flat water, no breaking waves, ideally at a lifeguarded spot. If a wave or current moves you, or water reaches your baby’s face, head back to shore. At the beach
Can I bring an older child too?
It’s easiest with two adults: one wears the baby, one watches the older child. On your own, your older child wears their own life jacket and stays within arm’s reach, and you stay upright rather than bending to lift them. An older child nearby
Does it float?
It holds your baby close while you stand in calm water no deeper than your waist, with their face well clear of the water. It’s a carrier, not a flotation device, so it isn’t made to keep your baby afloat. How to go in
Is it sun protection?
WaterLand has no UPF rating, so pair it with shade, a sun hat and light clothing. For babies under 6 months, shade and clothing come first.
Can I use it in a hot tub?
No. It’s made for pools and calm, open water, so keep it out of hot tubs and spas.
