Thanks to Stellar Product Testing Panel for allowing me to test this baby carrier. I have a newborn and 2 year old which makes this a 5/5 star baby carrier. It can be used up to 33 lbs, which makes this very versatile! I love the modern, sleek look of it, while also being a useful tool for my family. I also love that it is very well made and comfortable. It has great cushioning which is so important while carrying big babies! The mesh also allows it to be breathable in the Florida heat!

Overview
Description
Ergonomically support baby and help their hip health at the same time.
Cleverly placed padding around their knees combined with the back panel’s fabric’s elasticity produces a natural M-shaped, squatting and spreading posture. The supportive back panel promotes a curved C shape for baby’s spine, while also giving them plenty of room to move.
Smart stretch fabric allows the carrier’s back panel to intuitively adapt to their body shape and size as they grow.
The kangaroo pocket lets you slip a hand into the baby carrier to help you and baby forge an even closer bond.
Breathable 3D mesh fabric on the back panel and throughout the kangaroo pocket, waist belt and shoulder straps provide ventilation for hot days. Magnetic buckles snap effortlessly into place.
For newborns and smaller babies, the cushioned neck support folds up on the inside of the baby carrier to keep their head and neck supported. Once they’re big enough, this can be opened outwards and connected by buttons.
A well-padded waist belt supports your back and adds lumbar support.
It also features a detachable coin purse, keeping essentials at hand.
What we about it
Self-adapting stretch fabric wraps naturally around baby’s body and grows with them.

Chic and comfy
This review was collected as part of a promotion
I received the Layla carrier to review as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. This carrier is not only chic, but comfortable, and very useful.
When my girl was a newborn she loved to be worn in her carrier but as she got older it got uncomfortable for me to put her in with all the steps that a sling carrier requires while also trying to hold a 7 month old in place. All I needed was to have a structured carrier which I found in the Layla and both her and I have loved it so far. It…

Thoughtful Design for Both Mom and Dad

I received the Laya baby carrier through Stellar Product Testing Panel in exchange for my honest review.
I consider myself and avid babywearer: grocery stores, around the house, during walks, running errands - you name it. Overall, I've had a positive experience with the Laya! My favorite feature has been the kangaroo pouch on the front. Whenever I babywear, that tends to be the exact place I rest my hands, so having a dedicated pouch felt very comfortable and practical.

Useful Features But Updates Needed
This review was collected as part of a promotion
I received the Laya Carrier through the Stellar Product Testing Panel and had the opportunity to try it with my newborn (born in March). I also have a toddler, so I own several types of carriers and rely on babywearing every day.
Where I live, summer temperatures regularly reach 90–100°F, so it's important that I have a carrier that is comfortable and breathable for both my baby and me. I really wanted to love this carrier, but ultimately, I do not feel it is the right fit for my needs.…

Baby carrier
This review was collected as part of a promotion
This carrier has is very easy to use and feels very secure for my little one. It was very easy to clasp and put on. It’s something I can do without help! The fabric is breathable and provides comfort. This baby carrier unlike others allowed me to feel closeness allowed me to be able to spend more time with him while doing household tasks. The magnetic buckle system makes it easy to don on and off! highly recommend the Laya baby carrier.

A great carrier for the right family
This review was collected as part of a promotion
Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with the Laya Baby Carrier. There were many things about this product that I liked and some, not so much. To start, I felt that the design of this carrier felt a little clunky. There was a lot of cushioning for baby which I appreciate but the overall look appeared very large, especially when carrying a smaller baby. The stretch fabric was a bit itchy, though held baby well. One of the best features of the carrier, in my opinion, is the…

Layla Review
This review was collected as part of a promotion
5/5 stars
We’ve been using the Laya for a few weeks now and it’s become our go-to carrier. My husband and I both love it — the mesh fabric is incredibly breathable, and it sits noticeably higher than our other carriers, which feels more secure and comfortable for longer stretches. The magnetic buckle is genuinely incredible to use. And getting our son in with one hand is pretty easy!
Aesthetically, it’s a step up from what we had before. The brown colorway is sleek and a bit…

[I received the product through the Stellar Product Testing Panel.]
This is definitely a quality carrier based on the feel of the fabric and how sturdy/supportive it feels when wearing it. I really enjoyed the design of the carrier and immediately thought of my husband and how much he’d appreciate this carrier for weekend hikes/walks with our little ones. I’ve used other carriers and what I liked about this carrier is the mesh fabric and kangaroo pocket. I loved that I could slide my hands in…

Such a comfortable carrier
This review was collected as part of a promotion
As a busy mom of a toddler and a newborn, the Cybex Laya carrier has been such a lifesaver. I love how soft and supportive the stretch fabric feels. The magnetic buckles make it so much easier to get on by myself, which is a must when you have more than 1 child. The overall design looks modern without being bulky. Definitely one of the easiest carriers I’ve tried (and I've tried quite a few and disliked most of them!). Thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this carrier!

Carry in Comfort

The Laya is a great baby carrier that allows my baby to be properly supported while at the same time allowing me to move around in comfort. This carrier certainly has a lot of amazing features:
- The Design – this carrier was easy to understand and get used to. It came with QR code that allowed me to watch a video of how to put it on and honestly, it was beyond easy to put on and ensure baby was being carried in comfort. I especially liked the magnetic enclosures that snapped into place when…
