About Us
North America's Largest Babywearing Shop
From Our Family
to Yours.
Cultivating Community and Curating Carriers since 2015
It started with a laundromat and a sleeping baby.
When our first son was born in 2014, babywearing transformed our family's life. It gave us the confidence we needed as new parents β and the freedom we desperately missed.
One of my favorite memories is doing laundry at the laundromat with my baby sleeping peacefully against me. My partner Daniel embraced it too, wearing our son on daycare runs and city adventures. (Yes, you really can hold a coffee and a scone while babywearing!)
Babywearing isn't just convenient β it's the game-changer every parent needs. That discovery became a passion. And that passion became Little Zen One.
A family business, in every sense.
What began as a personal discovery has grown into something extraordinary. Today we're proud parents of three boys (and one very loved puppy).
As a deaf parent and Certified Babywearing Consultant, I've experienced firsthand how babywearing bridges communication, connection, and confidence β in ways I never expected.
That experience inspired me to make babywearing more accessible for all families. Our free Try Before You Buy program β the first of its kind β lets families experience carriers at home for one week, with guidance from Certified Babywearing Consultants.
It reflects everything we value:
- Support
- Sustainability
- Accessibility
- Education
- Empowerment
More than a shop.
A community.
