What We Offer

We believe that babywearing is a skill and that in order to master it, parents and caregivers need all the information and hands on instruction they can get. KangaMamas offers both Babywearing 101 Workshops at locations around Rhode Island as well as private Babywearing Consultations.

Both services are designed to give parents the tools and support they need to make informed choices.


Monthly Group Meeting An informal group to meet, chat and try on new carriers. Each meeting does have a discussion topic but we always have time to answer questions and help with carriers. Free
Babywearing 101 Workshops Babywearing 101 is geared towards expectant and new parents who are interested in learning the basics of babywearing.

This workshop covers:

  • The benefits of babywearing for parent and child
  • Safe positioning and use of baby carriers
  • How to confidently choose a carrier that is comfortable and safe
  • An overview of the five main types of carriers (Pouch, Ring Sling, Wrap, Mei Tai, and Soft Structured Carrier)
After the presentation, there is time for parents try on different carriers and receive hands on help. In general, the Babywearing 101 workshop is meant to be a primer for people with little or no experience with baby carriers so that they can hear about and see what the options are, first hand. At the end of a workshop, we hope that parents can walk away feeling ready to choose and use their first baby carrier.		 Cost Varies. Please contact us about pricing and locations for upcoming workshops.
Private Babywearing Consultations One-on-one workshops are designed to focus on your personal babywearing needs when it fits your schedule. The goal of a private Babywearing Consultation is to give our clients personalized instruction so that they can become more proficient and confident in carrying their baby. In order to realize this, we work closely with clients to make sure we understand their particular needs. We feel strongly that once a parent has the right tools for the job, they will achieve success. $75 for 2 hours
$45 for 1 hour
Babywearing Demonstrations KangaMamas is available to do demonstrations at local parenting group meetings or childbirth education classes in Rhode Island. We will happily donate our time for a demonstration to groups/classes that are part of a registered non-profit organization; however those within private for-profit organizations are welcome to contact us as well.

We believe strongly that every family should receive expert support in babywearing, so please contact us if you are in need of a reduced rate.
