We also design our own line of lightweight, functional and ergonomic diaper backpacks that conveniences and truly caters to your needs as modern parents.  
At 13Thirteen, we believe that skin-to-skin and babywearing are crucial in shaping the bond between parent and child. This is why we encourage skin-to-skin and Babywearing right from the very start. It is also the reason why we've brought in patented VIJA Design skin-to-skin garments to facilitate kangaroo care. Read more about the benefits of skin-to-skin here. 
To meet each parent's differing needs, lifestyles and budgets, we offer various types of baby carriers from a wide range of reputable brands. To us, there is no “best” carrier - it is about finding a baby carrier that suits YOU best.
We are the Exclusive Distributor of Chimparoo and Little Frog baby carriers. We are also an authorised retailer of LennyLamb, Natibaby, Emeibaby, Ankalia and Ergobaby.
