How is the Dad Shirt supposed to fit?
The Dad Shirt should fit close to your body—like a performance workout shirt, not a loose tee. It needs to be snug to securely support your baby and function properly as a carrier.
What if I am between sizes?
Since the Dad Shirt is meant to be fitted, we would recommend sizing up if you’re between sizes!
Is the Dad Shirt Safe?
Yes, the Dad Shirt complies with all safety standards set by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) for soft infant carriers.
What’s the weight limit of the Dad Shirt pouch?
The pouch is intended for newborns between 7 and 15 lbs. For most babies, that’s between the first 3-5 months.
Can I use the Dad Shirt while walking?
Yes, the Dad Shirt is designed for hands-free movement, while also encouraging bonding.

Perfect gift for a new dad!
My man is obsessed with his dad shirt. Our little guy practically lives in it lol. We are so sad hes already getting big and pretty soon too big for the dad shirt. But while they are small is a perfect way for dads to get close cuddles with their babies. And an easy way for dad to take over time with baby so both parents can get things done hands free!! 10/10 for the dad shirt definitely worth the price!! Holds great, sturdy material, washes well, fits dad perfectly, ample room for the little guy, thick and comfy. Perfect functionality! I will say only issue is adjusting the babies feet so their totally comfy gets harder the bigger thr baby gets, but its not such a hassle that we regret out purchase. We love the dad shirt!

10/10 WILL purchase again!
I bought this as a gift for my husband who swore he’d never babywear (and a gift for me to get some stuff done without putting down the Velcro baby!) and the quality of the shirt is amazing. There is a strap on the back that adds additional support. My son loves to be held close and I love the head support that it provides. I was hesitant for the steeper price tag BUT it was very worth it. The shirt fits my husband amazingly and I’m adding this to my list of gifts to give new dads!

Snug fit and for shorter babies
Great idea for daddy and child bonding. It does fit small or should I say snugged so definitely order one size up.Depending on how you position the baby, the baby’s feet does curl up so it’s really meant for new born or shorter babies.

Great product
This shirt is great. I was hesitant to spend $85 on what looks like a T-shirt with a pouch, but the shirt is actually very thick and well made. I’ve been using it for a month. It helps me keep our baby upright for a half hour after feedings while I’m working on the computer. It’s very comfortable for me and the baby. Buy it a size larger than you normally wear. For newborns, roll up a towel and place it on the bottom of the pouch in order to prevent the baby from going to deep into the pouch. Make sure that the baby’s head is out of the pouch so that they can breath well.

Not suitable for my baby
We bought it but baby cried every time when he is put inside. When baby is too small and soft, we are not dare to use it. When baby grows stronger, the bag is already too small for him. So for us it’s kinda wasting money. If you are gonna purchase, you need to expect it can only be used in a very short period of timeBut the fabric’s quality looks good. It’s thick so my husband feels hot haha

It works but size up
I normally wear a Large, sometimes XL for a more loose fit. I’m 6’4″ 220lbs. The XL is snug on me. Has plenty of length though!My newborn is currently 9lbs and some odd ounces and he loves chilling with dad in the pouch! He usually falls right asleep. While this shirt gives me the chance to be hands-free, I often feel I need to support him with at least one hand for his neck or just on his rump. I’m pretty sure the product recommends that anyway.Can be a little tricky at first figuring out how to safely get him in the pouch. I like when my wife’s there to help spot or hold the pouch open, while I raise him above my head to get the feet in safely, but I can do it myself if needed.The material of the shirt has that sporty moisture wicking to it, which is good because it’s hot wearing it in the summer. Probably more to do with a little furnace strapped to your chest, but also because there’s extra material for the pouch and it’s thicker than your average shirt. Overall though it is comfortable to the skin. Don’t be surprised if it feels like you’re being squeezed while wearing it. It does have some stretch to it. That’s probably the inner stitchings or elastic that helps keep your baby snug.People are able to tell that this is a dad shirt even if the baby’s not inside with you. But it does have a couple of magnetic buttons to help keep the pouch closed when not in use.Overall the price is hefty for a shirt you’ll wear temporarily. I have not tried the cheaper knock offs I can vouch for this shirt being well worth the investment for when you’re out and about and you want to get the baby out of the car seat or your baby needs to be held and you still want to get things done around the house.

Difficult Returns & Item doesn’t work
The shirt itself is way too small. It tightly fit my 9lb month and a half baby, it also has 0 neck support. While holding the baby in pouch my husband felt that it was too constricting for the baby and him and he still had to 90% support the baby. A baby carrier has been a much better option and longer use. Giving one star because I can’t give it a zero. The item was extremely difficult to return. If you return the item you have to wait for a response from the seller to approve the return. Once the return gets approved and you RETURN the item, you will still not receive your refund. They will make it extremely difficult and had to contact customer service multiple times to receive some credit back. Item sucks and seller sucks.

The quality of this item is excellent. The delivery from USA to Australia was very good, delivered by Australia Post which is always reliable and efficient. Awaiting the the birth of baby to try it out.
