🍂Autumn weather brings babywearing outdoors for extra cuddling time

While sweltering summer days are almost gone for good this year, you can finally heave a sigh of relief and say your last goodbyes to those sweaty-yucky babywearing escapades. Look forward to that refreshing, crisp air of the season, walk through the beautiful foliage with your little one snuggled close against your chest and cross tons of fun fall family activities off your bucket list. Don’t be surprised if you encounter more babywearers outdoors these days.

Lots of babywearers that tend to enter a dormant babywearing stage during warm summer days they now spring back to life, drawn by the crisp, revitalizing fragrance of nature that makes fall the optimal babywearing season of the year. Babywearing can be a stepping stone to your baby’s development. Your loved one can make physical and visual contact at all times, allowing you to keep your hands free at all times while navigating through parenthood lane, comfortable and extra safe. Wearing close to your heartbeat during colder seasons not only will offer an extra layer of security for your tiny angel but will keep you both warm and toasty, heartbeat to heartbeat. 

🍁Here are some quick tips to make babywearing in autumn beyond doubt a walk in the park:

• Ensure your baby is safe and sound, close against your body. You may want to consider revising the ABC’s of babywearing. Promise you, there’s not a lot of “reading” ground to cover: Here.
• Choose organic, breathable woven designs to regulate body temperature during colder months. Settle on ISARA baby carriers, woven wraps or even ring slings, if you prefer more flexibility.  
• Pick the coziest ISARA babywearing cover to add a fluffy cloud of security over your baby carrier. Not only you’ll take babywearing up a notch with à la mode look, but you’ll also prevent your little bundle of joy from overheating. Since overdressing is definitely not the way to go in fall,  you may want to snag a divine, 100% organic, buttery soft, ISARA Crystal Clear Clever Cover, wonderful for hugging your sweet angel on autumn days. 
• A fan of walking in the rain? Fret not, for ISARA’s got your back with the lightest waterproof and windproof cover! Convenient and easy-to-attach over your baby carrier, our Rain Clever Cover will keep the rain at bay in no time!

Carrying a little angel in a sling is truly convenient, but do you know the most important rules to ensure your baby’s safety? Tick the following key rules off your checklist and be ready to babywear the love with ISARA!

Airway. Ensure that fresh air can circulate freely around your little one’s face. When adjusting the panel of your baby carrier,  choose an appropriate height that enables the baby’s face to be visible at all times over the top edge of the panel. How do you know that you’ve adjusted the height of the panel properly? Check if the top edge of the panel reaches up to the nape of your baby’s neck.  Trust your heart and follow your instincts, mama! You’ve got this!

Body Positioning. Does the seat width support your baby’s legs in an ergonomically correct “M” shaped position, with the level of his bottom lower than the level of his knees, without slumping? When you’re adjusting your new baby carrier for the first time, adjust the width of the panel according to your little one’s leg span, supporting from knee to knee, always making sure that the width of the panel is not too wide. How can you notice if the width of the panel is too wide? If the bottom of the panel rests on your baby’s calves, instead of right under the bend of the knees, then you will have to narrow the base of the carrier. Ensure proper placement of your baby in the carrier, by placing your hands under your baby’s knees and lift them up gently, to successfully position your baby’s back in a pelvis tilted position.*Make sure your baby’s bottom is seated deeply in the panel and not on the carrier’s waistband. 

Comfortable. The carrier should be extremely comfortable for both you and your angel. Since you’ll be wearing your sweetheart every single day, your carrier has to suit your body size like a glove! Don’t be afraid to ask for help when you need to adjust your carrier! ISARA is here for you mama. Stay in the loop with all things babywearing, by joining Love ISARA babywearing Facebook group, where advice, educational info and more are shared and offered on a daily basis!

“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

The following review is brought to you by the lovely Anela Paparevic-Felegyhazi.

This full buckle adjustable carrier is a full wrap conversion in what we call baby size- can be used from birth up to… as long as your child wants to be carried in it or reaches 20kgs-biggest weight it has been tested for. It’s emerald green color is just perfect green, changes depending on the light and weather conditions (looks like a different carrier if you compare it on a sunny day and on a rainy day for example). Material is very soft and it feels silky on touch. It comes softly right out of the box, but with washing, it becomes even softer, including the waist belt- it softens a bit as well.

Wearing my youngest.

Wearing my toddler, 2 years and 8 months old.

Even if declared to be used from birth, what should be taken into consideration is that not all babies are the same, so the time when baby can perfectly fit in V3 carrier is very individual. My baby’s birth weight was less than 3kgs so with 4 months old he was big and heavy as some babies are when they are one month old. Around that time he could perfectly fit in V3 Green (R)Evolution and we both love it as it is very comfortable. In these warm summer days, I find it the best to carry my boys in it, as bamboo seems to have a cooling effect when directly on the skin. 

Babywearing HAPPINESS

Before The ONE model came out, some caregivers minded hardness of the waist belt and 2-way system of tightening shoulder straps. To be honest, I prefer “the old” harder version of waist belt on Isara V3 and Isara Toddler models as I find them more comfortable, especially for back carries- it allows high back carrying without waist belt being bent at all. As a reference, I am 158cm tall and have 57kgs at the moment- the first time I tried Isara Toddler was when I had around 50kgs and it was comfortable even then, just like now. Regarding the shoulder straps tightening system, it is the same as on my first carrier Lenny Lamb in baby size, so I don’t find it difficult at all. I found the best way of tightening shoulder straps as shown in these photos.

Pulling shoulder strap towards down to bring all the extra length under my arm while pushing baby’s bum towards up with my other hand, then pulling shoulder strap away from my body towards the back and a bit towards down. I do the same when tightening the other shoulder strap.

One more thing I love about V3 Green (R)Evolution is that I can easily readjust it for my older son by loosening waist belt and spreading panel material on the widest setting for my toddler when it happens that he wants to be carried. He is 2years and 8 months old and still has great leg support as well as torso support, as the panel is deep enough to support him up to under his armpits. When carrying my older boy in this carrier, the only place where I can really feel that he is much heavier than my younger boy is my legs and feet.

When done with carrying, the easiest way to loosen shoulder straps is pushing the buckle with your thumb towards the front and down as shown in the photo below.

Thank you so much, Anela for the wonderful review!!! You rock! 💝

💡 Have you ever wondered how heavy duty ISARA is? Caught your interest? Then, keep on reading.

ISARA baby carriers have passed many quality assurance tests before its release to the public and we’re proud to state that it’s certified for wearing babies up to 20 kg. When it comes to carrying children, safety and comfort are valuable;  we wanted to offer the perfect reliable addition to your parenthood journey that will accompany you from the very first day of stepping into your new role until your little one is ready to start school.

But then we pondered…. How many more kilograms can ISARA The ONE withstand? And since the entire ISARA team is overly inquisitive, we just couldn’t stop ourselves from uncovering the “resistance” mystery.

And so it began…. From the littlest to the biggest. One family. One size design baby carrier. The result though??? Check out the following in-house testing steps:

 Testing the durability of ISARA The ONE

• The first on board was the sweetest preschooler, weighing 15 kg.
• Second step. Switching roles. The mother (weighing 47 kg) got to experience a back carry, and we must say that ISARA has successfully passed the test.  
• The grand finale. Mother and daughter duo. As expected ISARA The ONE can withstand even a total weight of 62 kilograms. MIND BLOWING! Q.E.D. quod erat demonstrandum 🙂

Durability approved!!! Do not worry though, no participant was harmed 🤣. For them, it was fun to prove the impossible.  

ISARA The ONE offers a durable, timeless carrying experience far beyond your expectations. Optimized to suit even the biggest preschooler, ISARA The ONE is certainly The ONE heavy duty carrier every parent needs for their children.

P.S. Who’s ready to hop on ISARA The ONE and experience its awesomeness? We dare you.

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!

🌿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.

     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
