Returning or Exchanging a Baby Carrier

At Bean Tree Baby our goal is to help parents find a baby carrier that will suit their lifestyle. We are always available to help troubleshoot the fit or use of any carrier purchased from us via email or phone, or virtually via Zoom, and we also offer in person help if you are local to us in Connecticut.  We understand that sometimes a certain carrier just doesn’t work for a parent or their baby, so we offer returns and exchanges based on the following criteria:

• Baby carriers in new condition may be returned or exchanged within 30 days of purchase.  For a new carrier return you will receive your choice of a refund or store credit (as outlined above).  The carrier must be unused/unwashed, clean/scent free, with the original tags/registration card still attached, and have all of its original packaging and instructions included.  Please note: For both safety and hygiene reasons, we cannot accept returns on used baby carriers. If you are unsure of what type of carrier may work best for your family we strongly encourage visiting us for a baby carrier fitting to try on our sample carriers before purchasing! You are welcome to email us to discuss options based on your needs as well!
• If you are purchasing a baby carrier before the arrival of your baby please note this in the comment box during checkout, along with your baby's "estimated due date".  We will start the 30 day return period at the date you give us instead of the purchase date.
