ISARA x WWF Collaboration

“Children of today will protect the Earth of Tomorrow”

Do you ever think of our Planet? Do you ever think about the future of your children?

Now’s the time to make a difference and contribute to the preservation of Mother Earth by joining forces with ISARA’s charitable initiative.

ISARA teamed up with WWF and created a unique collection, titled Protect The Planet, dedicated to majorly endangered marine and wildlife species that are currently on the edge of extinction due to pollution, poaching, climate change, and overfishing. The main goal is to raise the alarm about the loss of natural habitat and emphasize our main responsibility to protect the planet for future generations, for a better, healthier world. ISARA truly believes that Children of today will protect the Earth of tomorrow. Support the cause and be actively involved in teaching new generations about the importance of protecting the environment. *7% of the proceeds from the sale of the collection will go to World Wildlife Fund. 

A collection inspired by endangered animals 

Marine life

• Hawksbill Turtle

Hawksbill Turtles represent a vital link in marine life as they help maintain the health of coral reefs and seagrass beds by extracting sponges from crevices on the reef. Their beautiful colored shells are highly valuable and sought after in the illegal “tortoiseshell” markets, being turned into jewelry, souvenirs or other items, mainly for tourists.

• Whale Shark (Rhincodon typus)

The whale shark is the biggest shark that roams the oceans and its main food source is plankton. The health of our oceans depends on these gentle giants as they are a clear indication of abundant plankton across oceans.

• Giant Tortoise

The Giant Tortoise is the largest living tortoise in the world and it can only be found on the Galápagos Islands.

• Sea Lions

Sea Lions live in large colonies on the shores of Galápagos Islands and they exclusively breed here, on these beautiful Islands.

• Galapagos Penguin

Galapagos Penguins are the rarest penguin species in the world, and the only one found at the north of the equator, in the Galápagos.

• Fin Whale

The Fin Whale is the second largest mammal in the world, thus at the top of the food chain, playing a vital role in the health of marine life.  

• Sei Whale

Known as one of the fastest whales in the marine habitat, the Sei Whale has become majorly endangered due to commercial whaling.

• Vaquita

Vaquita is undeniably the rarest marine mammal in the world and is currently critically endangered. Imagine that there are as few as 30 Vaquitas left on our Planet due to illegal fishing operations. Just heartbreaking.

Wildlife

• Amur Leopard

Due to extensive poaching, Amur Leopards are currently listed as an endangered species, with approximately 84 individuals left in the temperate forests.

• Black Rhino

Did you know that rhinos are the oldest groups of mammals in the world?

Black Rhinos play a vital role in their habitat as they shape large portions of land, offering a better home for other species as well, such as elephants.

• Malayan Tiger

Tropical rainforests are the HOME of the Malayan Tiger. Due to massive deforestation, the Malayan Tiger is now more susceptible to poaching and it’s struggling to survive.

• Sumatran Elephant

Sumatran Elephants contribute to a healthy forest ecosystem as their main source of food consists of a large variety of plants. While they feed on plants they also carry and spread the seeds, contributing to the lush forest habitat.

• Saola

Did you know that Saola has been discovered recently in May 1992? They are so rare and vulnerable that protecting their habitat has become one of the greatest priorities for habitat conservation in the Annamite Mountains of Vietnam and Laos.

One step closer to a better planet and a more sustainable approach for marine and wildlife conservation. 🐼Love, ISARA

Știați că România este una dintre țările din Europa Centrală și de Est în care rata fumatului în timpul sarcinii și post-partum este ridicată? Consumul de tutun continuă sa fie unul dintre cele mai nesănătoase obiceiuri, cu cel mai mare impact asupra sănătății părințiilor, copiilor și în același timp asupra societății.

Este greu să renunți la viciul fumatului, însă este și mai trist atunci când indirect îți afectezi copilașul, chiar înainte de a veni pe lume. Atunci când mămica fumează, bebelușul este expus la substanțe nocive cum ar fi nicotina și monoxidul de carbon.  Porți un ghemotoc de fericire în burtica ta și îți dorești cu ardoare să renunți la fumat însă din diferite motive nu reușești? Programele Renunț în Doi și Împreună fără Fum, demarate și implementate de echipa din cadrul Departamentului de Sănătate Publică al UBB, Cluj-Napoca, condusă de Dr. Cristian Meghea, îți vin în ajutor.

Dr. Cristian Meghea, Directorul Proiectului Renunț în Doi împreună cu o echipă de profesioniști, experți în consiliere îți vor sta alături, de la început până la final, oferind gratuit sfaturi, iar cu pași mici, prin efort și trudă, cu siguranță veți reuși să renunțați la consumul de tutun.

Programul Renunț în Doi

Proiectul Renunț în Doi oferă suport și consiliere specializată, de renunțare la fumat pentru cupluri, implicând activ și partenerii mămicilor dornice de a-și îmbunătăți sănătatea și de a oferi copilului lor cel mai bun început în viață.

Hello everybody 🙂

❤️ My name is Inês Leite Rocha, I’m from Portugal. For those who do not know me and never heard of me, I’m the creator of the website “Panos Viajantes”: http://www.panosviajantes.pt/.

   
The website “Panos Viajantes” aims to inform all Portuguese parents, but not only, about the Babywearing market, trying to provide the best possible information about the products tested through the opinion of real moms and dads that have tested those products. It’s also a point of reference for brands where they will have access to reviews and inputs, being able to perceive their acceptance in the market, showing the positive and the less favorable points. It is also possible to see on the website all our partners, baby carriers and trips organized by us, as well as reviews of these products.

You must be wondering what this has to do with ISARA right? Since ISARA is one of the most prestigious brands of babywearing, it’s undoubtedly present on our site. It was easy to get in touch with Diana, a very sweet and friendly person, who has always been available to help us. After some e-mail conversations, ISARA made a point of making itself known on our country and sent 3 products here so that about 30 mothers could try them out.

And about my experience with ISARA? I had already on my hands 5 different products, the “V3 Chic in Paris” buckle carrier, the “V3 Half Wrap Conversion Burgundivine” buckle carrier, the “Diamonda” woven wrap, the “Diamonda Blue Ink” ring sling and finally “The ONE”.

     How can I describe ISARA’s products? For me, they are TOP products, between the bests that I have tried. They are all very comfortable products, with great support and extremely beautiful. I remember experiencing “V3 Chic” shortly after being introduced to the babywearing world, to think that this buckle carrier had one of the most beautiful patterns I had ever seen, that it was very comfortable and I was anxious for my turn to try it out. Not at all disappointing, although I felt some difficulties with the first adjustments (it was the first time we used a buckle carrier), I found that the handles were extremely comfortable, that the belt was wide and hard enough not to curl or hurt. As I am an eternal lover of Paris, the city of love, I loved the fabric and the pattern.

The “V3 Burgundivine” buckle carrier, the Diamonda wrap and the Ring Sling arrived in my hands at an entirely different stage. At a stage of more experience, where adjustments were no longer a problem, and where I just wanted to enjoy every minute I had with them.

The buckle carrier was identical to the one I had previously tested, as for the wrap and the ring sling was love at first sight. When we hear about ISARA we automatically associate to buckle carriers and we do not remember at all that ISARA also makes other high-quality products.

Both the wrap and the ring sling are super comfortable, soft, with good support, easy to adjust and with a classic pattern. Great for any occasion, whether for a walk in the park, for a trip to the beach, to go get the kids to school or for a ceremony.

During the ISARA product travels by the mothers of Portugal, I received an invitation, which was not waiting for at all. I was invited to be ISARA’s ambassador in Portugal and proudly accepted, I accepted not only because it was a recognition that the “job” I am doing for Babywearing in Portugal is being positive, but also because I admire and believe in this brand.

The last piece that passed through my hands was “The One”, and I must say that if I had not been already fully surrendered, I would have fallen in love again with ISARA. It’s a great buckle carrier, the best I’ve ever tried during this one-and-a-half year course, the one I recommend to everyone who asks me what buckle carrier they should buy for their baby. In Portugal, we really surrendered to THE ONE! 

I want to thank ISARA for the opportunity given to me and hope to continue doing a good “job”. Thank you for believing in me, my project, and all the girls who collaborate with me. Thanks also to them, because without them none of this would have been possible.

Joy, Love, Happy, Together, One, Life. Six core elements embedded in babywearing to spread tiny pieces of magical attachment through a unique “language of love”: Morse Code!

We all have those precious moments when we spend endless hours staring at our little treasures, in awe of the miracle we have created.

The bond shared between a parent and a child is inexhaustible and everyone knows that this close-knit, unbreakable connection starts with two-way communication between mama and lil’ squish, while being in the womb, surrounded by sweet, muffled sounds and gentle baby bump massages.

Infused with the novel, cutting-edge features of our latest innovation in babywearing ISARA The ONE, Morse code is a love language, created to embody all the feels and gushes your heart may store. Communicate your love through a dot and dash, carrying the world in your arms!

Toting your love all day long has never looked so special! ISARA Morse Code has become the babywearing language coordinator, with a hug-me-close manner of expressing love, so quintessential for strengthening your family bond.

ISARA Morse Code is a series of dots and dashes that conveys love in a discrete and intimate way, allowing you to express and share endless love with open arms and infinite freedom.

Every child is born to seek love, the preset function of humanity and fundamentally understand its meaning, cradled in the knowledge of your presence. Sometimes love is truly uninterpretable by the one who hears, sees or wears it, therefore ISARA Morse Code encompasses the true power of love, a stronger and far more meaningful bond, that can be only deciphered with pure love.

P.S. How do we express our love these days?

If you haven’t already known, there are 5 different ways or love languages in which people frequently communicate and perceive emotional love: Words of affirmation, Acts of service, Receiving gifts, Quality time and Physical touch.

 ISARA deciphers Love with MORSE CODE!

Dear lovelies, 

Whatever you’re looking for in terms of babywearing and its amazing benefits, we have it all written down in our Weekly Retrospective. Parenthood gets better and definitely easier while babywearing together with ISARA.

🤗Welcome to Parenthood. It’s not easy to be a good parent these days with all the daily grind and let’s be honest it can be too overwhelming sometimes. Downtime is harder to come by and your emotional well-being as a parent may be shaken,  and there’s no shame in admitting that. We all have our ups and downs as parents, and we all know that confidence in our parenting abilities is the key. That’s where babywearing comes in. Babywearing will allow you to get chores and errands done easier and faster, promoting a happier and healthier life for you as a parent but also for your children.

💡Did you know that wearing your little one can enhance the mother-baby communication bond? Carrying your angels into your arms, connected through skin-to-skin contact will provide you with the perfect opportunity of learning their hunger signals, signs of distress or tiredness. Boost your maternal confidence mama and keep your little treasure safe and comfy!

• Nursing Advice. ISARA THE ONE!

          Who doesn’t enjoy some mama friendly advice? Whether you’re already breastfeeding or soon to nurse, here are three tips to enjoy breastfeeding while babywearing in ISARA The ONE.

  ✔️ Simply release the fit-for-you adjuster and make feeding on the go discreet and snug!

  ✔️ Easily loosen the strap transformer and lower your baby down to the breast level, making sure your little one is latched on correctly without blocking the airways.

✔️ Use your other hand to help you support your breast so that your baby is properly latched on.

  ✔️Lean forward while supporting your baby with one hand. Once your little one starts

nursing, tighten the strap transformer to make your baby more comfy and secure.

   Practice, practice and you’ll master the ropes of babywearing in no time!

• Close to your heart!

Wearing your baby can help stabilize the baby’s heart rate, breathing, and temperature. You will love the extra snuggles, so of course, you’ll be more than happy to carry your little ones around, always in tune with their rhythm. Nurture a deep and lasting bond with your children through babywearing! Keep them close!

• Wearing your baby stimulates brain development!

When your little one rides in a sling, there is constant movement, different colors everywhere, social interactions between caregivers and other people while feeling secure close to mom’s or dad’s chest. This stimulation has a profound effect on your baby’s brain development and core musculature while enhancing the ability to regulate his own physical responses.

    Keep your babies close, where they are safe and loved!  Nurture your child’s development!

•  Natural Hip Development: Babywearing Benefits

Did you know that proper hip position while babywearing can be beneficial especially for the growth and development of the child’s hips? ISARA’s ergonomic baby carriers, designed adjustable since 2013, provide an optimal M-shape position known as The Spread Squat Position of the hip joints with the thighs properly supported all the way to the knees which are held slightly higher than the bottom.

  P.S. ISARA baby carriers are hip healthy products certified by the International Hip Dysplasia Institute.  

 ❣️Embrace the cuddles!

                XOXO, ISARA

    Our award-winning, multi-adjustable ISARA The ONE baby carrier has been tested for the past few months by the lovely team at https://wearmybaby.co.uk/ and the feedback was beyond amazing! ISARA The ONE really fits ALL! ALL Parents, ALL Children! ALL in The ONE!

Enjoy the insightful review, written by Rebecca Ford,  Senior Consultant at Wear My Baby. Rebecca is a midwife and Senior Consultant with Wear My Baby. She is based in Beckenham and provides expert babywearing advice across Beckenham, Bromley, Sydenham, Croydon, and North Kent.

Read the full review here ⬇️

  Described as a fully adjustable ‘one size fits all’ buckled carrier suitable from birth to pre-schooler, it makes a very bold claim.

  Can one carrier really do it all? After all, there are a number of baby carriers on the market advertised as from birth and beyond with varying levels of success.

  So I was excited – and just a little dubious – to test this new carrier out. And I’m happy to report, it is truly excellent!

  ISARA FABRIC AND FEEL

Our first thoughts when unpacking the Isara The One from its box were – wow, this feels really lovely!

Compared to many of its counterparts (the Ergobaby Omni 360, Tula Explore, Manduca XT, BabyBjorn Carrier One etc) the Isara really is buttery soft. This is mainly due to the fact it’s made from organic woven wrap fabric.  This also means that it comes in a nice selection of very stylish designs.

It has a structured, padded waistband made of memory foam. It’s surprisingly light and almost fluffy feeling, so it doesn’t feel like its digging in.

VERSATILITY AND LONGEVITY

It’s true the Isara One is SUPER adjustable. Between us, the Wear My Baby team has tried it with a range of children including 2 week, 18 month, 4 year and 6 year olds. So with a bit of fiddling, you can get a really good fit across a huge range of ages and sizes.

If you want a very simple and lightweight carrier that you can get out of the box and go, then you might find this a bit fiddly to adjust. BUT once you have mastered which settings suit you, it’s simple enough.

Whilst not as simple as the uber-lightweight Izmi and Connecta carriers, the Isara is lighter and softer than other multi-adjustable structured carriers of its kind.  So if you like the idea of lightweight but prefer the extra padding and support that make many of the big name carriers popular, then we think this is a great option.

The base of the body panel cinches down to a pretty narrow width to suit a newborn whilst the rather snazzy pre-school booster attachments make it wide enough to accommodate an average preschooler – or in our case a small 6 year old!

It has clever, adjustable length shoulder straps (not seen on any other carrier) which makes it usable for tall, plus size, small and petite wearers.

The chest strap/back strap is really easy to tighten and allows for quite a tight fit. The shoulder straps give you the option to do them up rucksack style or crossed over at your back.

Isara The One’s panel adjusters make it easy to change the height of the carrier to accommodate different size children. It is also handy for breastfeeding in the carrier and provides a bit of coverage if you want it.  We liked shortening the panel to allow baby to have arms out as an alternative to facing outwards, which is one position that is not possible in this carrier.

DOWNSIDES

We struggled to find many negatives for the Isara One carrier. But if pushed, we might say it’s perhaps a bit too adjustable.

Now, this is grasping at straws slightly as its adjustability is also its main selling point. But it can take a bit of time initially and a lot of fiddling to get the strap lengths and buckles set to your size and preferences.

So if, like me, you prefer to just click and go in light-speed time then you may find this a touch frustrating.  However, once adjusted, this baby carrier is incredibly supportive and definitely has the potential to be extremely comfortable on a wide range of mums and dads. There’s definitely nothing else quite like it!

❤️Our deepest gratitude to Rebecca Ford, and the entire Wear My Baby team for sharing their ISARA babywearing experience with our community!

Start Wrapping the Love!

🌿If you’re looking for the most awesome ISARA woven wrap, you came to the right place. We’re going to decipher what does base size really mean and how to choose which wrap size is best for you. Sounds fun and educational, right? Keep on reading then! 

🔗Visit http://bit.ly/ISARA_Baby  for more ISARA Infographics!

🌟Now as we mentioned above, one of the most important factors when choosing the perfect woven wrap is the base size. Base size really matters when it comes to choosing the most suitable woven wrap for your own body size. Base size is defined as the size required to complete a Front Wrap Cross Carry (See instructional video here http://bit.ly/Front_Wrap_Cross_Carry).

As your little angel grows, you might need to choose a bigger base size. You’re probably thinking that it might take a long time until you get to master the long cloth, but trust me it’ll be a walk in the park. You’re a natural, mama!

If you’re a newcomer to the babywearing world, then we totally recommend a size 6 woven wrap, which is the universal size for most beginners, who are just now trying to learn and grasp the techniques of carrying their little one in a wrap. We warmly invite you to consult the chart below in order to find the right base size for your body size.

Still unsure which base size to choose? Drop us a line at contact@isara.ro. We will gladly assist you in finding the right size for you.

❤️Carry the love to infinity and beyond with ISARA! Become a multi-tasking wrapper while enjoying the sweetest snuggles!

🎄Survive the cold all wrapped up with ISARA

BRRR… Baby is cold outside. P.S. Pun intended, hi hi. Whenever winter hits, our sporadic walks in nature tend to decrease, dreading the cold, frosty air on our baby’s delicate skin. But fear not, ISARA has come to the rescue.

❄️If you own an ISARA winter cover or clever cover then you’re pretty much set for the cold temperature that’s lurking outside. Embrace the freezy chill by simply attaching a slick winter cover to your favorite sling. Easy peasy and fun. Trust me, in the blink of an eye, you’ll be ready to head out, efficiently providing coziness and comfort to your sweet adorable angel. You know what that means, right? No more bulky snowsuits or puffy winter jackets that need a lot of layering. Simple as that, your baby will thank you for regulating the temperature and making sure you’re not exaggerating with different types of clothing that will only bring discomfort while being outdoors. Simplicity at its finest.

Skip rummaging through your little one’s closet in search of warmer clothes. One layer will take care of your worries so you can have peace of mind all through the winter wonderland season. Pro Bonus: ISARA winter covers can also be used as blankets, for example when you want to change your baby or if you’d like to shelter him from the crisp wind or snow when out and about.

☃️The versatility of this product will be your child’s best friend during the cold days of winter. Therefore, no more bundle up but winter cover up!

     Love in Perpetuity

                         ISARA. The full circle of life

    Have you ever wondered what is the meaning behind our brand name ISARA? Well, wonder no more. ISARA founder and certified babywearing consultant, stumbled upon the name while reading about nurturing closeness and the soothing feeling of being close to mommy or daddy’s heartbeat. ISARA in the Filipino (Tagalog) language means “close”,  evoking the wonderful journey of parenthood, experienced as ONE-togetherness, a bond of love interwoven for a lifetime. We embarked on a close to your heart, “growing together” adventure, to deliver the sweetest hugs with an endless supply of cuddles and a dash of innovation. “Close”, we discover what true love really means.

Moreover,  ISARA’s logo contains 2 semi-circles. The green semi-circle portrays the back of a child in a sling while the pink semi-circle envisages a mother’s nurturing arms. We couldn’t have designed a cuter logo!!! It radiates pure bliss!

Now, let’s take a dive into the story of our packaging logo. Did you notice the fresh newly grown branches that curl around the older ones? Just like branches in a tree, families need a solid foundation to allow the growth of leaves and sprouts. I’m sure we can all agree upon that.

What is the beauty of our perpetual growth though? The fascinating thing about our logo design lies in the fact that all families have deep roots, that they are grounded. Even though the roots are not obvious or visible to the eye, growth spurts and spreads out from the ultimate expression of life: LOVE. Starting in early childhood, parents offer emotional sustenance to their newbie branches, they nourish the bond through heart to heart snuggles and affection.

Parents cultivate and infuse growth by watering the sapling with love and solid values, anchoring future generations with a deep-rooted connection, based on support and solidity. We can assure you that even through stormy weather, the branches won’t sway. They will stand strong, in a circle of love,  facing whatever comes in their way. That’s what family is all about! Love in Perpetuity. A family relationship grows ad infinitum, bearing a taste for eternal attachment.

Growing together comes around full circle: The deeper the bond, the greener the branches. Hence why we’re always using the circles on our platforms. Just in case you’ve ever wondered why we’re using lots of circles in our materials.

  XOXO, 💓 ISARA

Founded in 2012, ISARA was born out of love, to promote the most unique experience between caregivers and children. In fact, the story of ISARA begins back in early 2012, with one beautiful soul, Monica Olariu, certified babywearing consultant and founder of ISARA.

The “growing together” journey of ISARA started with motherhood. Carrying a sweet angel inside your womb brings immense bliss paired with the pure excitement of stepping into the most rewarding stage of your life.When a tiny heartbeat is heard for the very first time, and the little angel starts delivering playful kicks, you realize that the wonderment growing inside is indeed the most beautiful miracle. ISARA was established to enhance the pure feeling of closeness, experienced as ONE-togetherness, a bond of love interwoven for a lifetime. We embarked on a “carrying” journey to deliver the sweetest heartbeat to heartbeat hugs with an endless supply of cuddles and a dash of innovation.

ISARA was created with one single purpose in mind: to design a premium fully adjustable baby carrier, suitable for all parents and all children. We were determined to create the first fully adjustable baby carrier. To accomplish this noteworthy vision, after a long period of research and testing, in 2013 ISARA introduced to the world the very first fully adjustable buckle carrier, ISARA V1. We listened to the babywearing community insights and feedback in order to incessantly improve our product. We are currently at its third version, ISARA V3, nowadays known as The Trendsetter.

In 2018, after two years of research, we accomplished what we’ve been dreaming of from the very beginning, to launch the one baby carrier that Really fits ALL, ALL children and ALL parents, and that carrier is our latest innovation in babywearing, ISARA The ONE.

Our brand is based on a few core beliefs. At the heart of those beliefs is the focus on environmentally friendly and premium organic materials. We are an honest, clean brand that believes in sustainable packaging and chemical-free, organically sourced fabrics. ISARA helps our lovely community reap the benefits of babywearing.

We are mindful of our imprint on the environment as we cherish our green planet, constantly driven by an eco-friendly mindset. ISARA strives to improve and make a difference to the lives of our beloved caregivers and little angels.

We have become a proponent of quality over quantity since 2012, employing the finest organic dyes, derived from plant sources, GOTS certified, without any dye fixing or resisting agent. ISARA went above and beyond in 2016 as we launched our most magical Traditional Collection, the perfect blend of modern premium quality with the traditional handmade embroidery design, for which every panel was stitched by hand, one day at a time, one carrier a day.

Labor of love, our mission is to innovate and inspire breakthroughs in the babywearing world, empowering parents and communities to flourish and grow together, bound by a common interest: the journey of parenthood.
