CYBEX Yema

Inspired by the artistic drapery of international fashion designers, YEMA not only sets new standards in functionality, but this carrier collection genuinely catches the eye while hidden functions focus attention on the design. In the first few months of an infant’s life, it is important to have as much physical contact as possible. Our baby carriers create the perfect connection between mother and child – encouraging a close bond and a deep sense of security. Lying against the chest, a baby can hear the mother’s heartbeat, which was so familiar in the womb. Skin contact, warmth, and scents leave infants feeling protected and safe. The YEMA: A product that not only promotes healthy development but also makes a bold design statement.

Ergonomical
carrying

Thanks to the seamlessly adjustable seatpanel and the adjustable headrest the baby carrier grows with your child. It is suitable from birth to two years (approx. 7.7 – 33.1 lbs) and offers three carrying positions: front parent facing position, hip carry position, and back carry position. 

Carry on!

A familiar voice, cozy warmth and that unique smell – a baby carrier intensifies that important bond between parent and child from birth. »Babywearing« nurtures a deep sense of trust between parent and infant, while stimulating the child’s cognitive development. The correct carrying method places the infant in the healthy spread-squat position, while taking the weight away from the hips and helping the joints to develop. A baby carrier provides you with almost unlimited mobility: while your baby is in a snug and safe place, your hands are free to deal with the challenges of fast, urban life.

Front carry
position

Babies can be carried facing the chest from birth. The baby carrier encourages the correct posture in the spreadsquat position, which can help the hip joints to develop.

Hip carry
position

Babies that can hold their own head (from around 3 months) can also be carried in the side position. This allows them to rest against mum’s shoulder while taking in their surroundings.

Back carry
position

Babies with good head and bottom control (from around 6 months) can be carried in the YEMA on your back, making it easy for parents to bear the baby's weight.

FAQ

What type of third-party verification and certification does the YEMA baby carrier have?

CYBEX consulted with a number of experts during the development of Yema to ensure its optimal design for the health of the child. We collaborated with certified baby wearers as well as prototype tested the design with several volunteers and trainees. Additionally, a physiotherapist in Bayreuth, Germany has independently reported on the Yema. We are currently working with the International Hip Dysplasia Institute for certification.

How wide must the seat panel be?

The seat panel width should reach from the back of the knee to the back of the knee when the baby is in the correct spread-squat position. Babies tend to adopt this position automatically when lying on their back, so you can measure the distance and then adjust the panel. One rule of thumb is that the panel width is approximately half the height of your baby.

Where is the headrest?

The headrest is stored between the cotton liner layer and the outer jersey-fabric layer. It easily pulls out from the top.

For what ages is the carrier suitable?

The product can be used in the front-carrying position from birth (3.5 kg or 7 lb, 11 oz). The side-carrying position can be used when a baby can hold its own head up (from around 3 months old). Back carrying is an option for babies with good head and bottom control (from around 6 months). Note that in all three positions, the carrier is designed only for inward facing, or toward the mother, not outward facing. This is for two reasons: this guarantees that the wearer can easily make use of the carrier’s functionality, and the position is the most ergonomically healthy for the child.

From what age can I use the front-carry position?

The front-carry position can be used from birth (3.5 kg, or 7 lb, 11 oz). The carrier is designed only for inward-facing carry for two reasons: it’s the most ergonomically healthy for the child, and it’s the easiest way for the wearer to benefit from the carrier’s advanced functionality.

From what age can I use the side-carry position?

The side-carrying position can be used when a baby can hold its own head up (from around 3 months old). The carrier is designed only for inward-facing carry for two reasons: it’s the most ergonomically healthy for the child, and it’s the easiest way for the wearer to benefit from the carrier’s advanced functionality.

From what age can I use the back-carry position?

The back-carry position is suitable for babies with good head and bottom control—generally from 6 months onward. The carrier is designed only for inward-facing carry for two reasons: it’s the most ergonomically healthy for the child, and it’s the easiest way for the wearer to benefit from the carrier’s advanced functionality.

Can I carry my child facing outwards?

The carrier was not designed for outward facing because the position is not as ergonomically sound for the baby as the more natural inward-facing position.
