Why you’ll need a baby carrier in Bali

If you’ve ever tried pushing a stroller down a bumpy sidewalk in Seminyak or carrying it up the steps in temples, you’ll know that Bali isn’t made for prams. The island’s charm lies in its mix of beaches, busy streets, and traditional areas — but that also means uneven paths, sand, and stairs everywhere.

‍

That’s when a baby carrier becomes your best friend.

‍

Whether you’re cafe-hopping in Canggu, wandering through rice fields, or simply getting from the airport to your villa, wearing your baby keeps your hands free, your little one close, and your pace relaxed.

‍

And if you realize, like many parents do, that your trusty carrier didn’t make it into the suitcase, don’t worry. Bali has its very own babywearing brand made for island life: Keep Closer.

‍

Meet Keep Closer: a Bali-born babywearing brand

Keep Closer was created by a Bali-based mom who wanted a carrier that worked in Bali: something light, supportive, and easy to wear even in tropical heat.

‍

What started as a personal need quickly grew into a thoughtful local brand loved by both Bali-based parents and visiting families. Every piece is made from breathable fabrics that keep you and your baby cool, with neutral tones and stylish patterns that fit seamlessly into your everyday wardrobe.

‍

Unlike many bulky structured carriers that take up half your suitcase, Keep Closer carriers are compact and minimal. They roll up smaller than a towel but make island life infinitely easier, whether you’re heading to brunch or visiting temples in Uluwatu.

‍

Made for island life

Keep Closer carriers are designed specifically for tropical weather and active families. Here’s what makes them special:

‍

‍

1. Breathable and lightweight

The biggest challenge when wearing your baby in Bali’s heat is staying cool. Keep Closer’s carriers are made from 100% organic cotton that allows airflow and prevents overheating. You can wear them comfortably for long walks or even quick naps on the go.

‍

2. Easy to put on

No confusing wraps or endless straps, just a simple, intuitive fit you can master in under a minute.

‍

3. Safe and supportive

Each carrier provides ergonomic support for your baby’s hips and spine, following natural “M” positioning. The wide straps evenly distribute weight across your shoulders and back, so you won’t end up sore after a long day out.

‍

Keep Closer’s carriers have been certified by SGS to meet internationally recognized safety standards for physical safety, chemical safety, flammability, and eco-friendly fabric and printing. This ensures every carrier is safe for your baby, free from harmful substances, environmentally safe, and gentle on baby skin.

‍

4. Easy to wash

Island life can be messy: think ice cream, sunscreen smudges, and sand. Luckily, these carriers are easy-to-wash and quick-drying, so you can clean them overnight and use them again the next morning.

‍

5. Ethically made in Bali

Keep Closer works with local artisans to create every piece. It’s not mass-produced: it’s a small, thoughtful brand that supports local craftsmanship and sustainable production practices.

‍

Explore the Keep Closer range

Keep Closer offers three beautiful carrier styles so you can find the perfect fit for your family.

‍

Lite Carrier

The Lite Carrier is their most minimal design: soft, simple, and perfect for moms who prefer the freedom without the bulk of a waistband. It’s especially great for pregnant moms or anyone who finds more structured carriers uncomfortable.

‍

• Suitable from 3 months up to 15 kg
• No waist strap, lightweight, and easy to pack‍
• Two carrying modes: front inward-facing and backpack-style
• Includes a removable hood for sun protection and discreet breastfeeding, plus a chest clip for secure and comfortable backpack-style carrying.

‍

Comfort Fit Carrier

‍

The Comfort Fit Carrier adds gentle structure for longer days out. With an adjustable waist strap and padded shoulders, it’s ideal for sightseeing or long walks while staying cool.

‍

• Suitable from 3.5 kg to 15 kg
• Great balance of ergonomic support and simplicity‍
• Two carrying modes: front inward-facing and backpack-style
• Includes a removable hood for sun protection and discreet breastfeeding, plus a chest clip for secure and comfortable backpack-style carrying.

‍

Toddler Sling Carrier

Because babywearing doesn’t stop when they start walking, this one-shoulder Sling Carrier design is perfect for keeping one hand free with your bigger little one.

‍

• From 9 months up to 20 kg
• Ideal for short walks, naps on the go and whenever your little one just won't leave your arms

All three carriers are made from the same 100% organic cotton that is breathable and feels good against the skin for both of you.

Why parents love it

Many parents discover Keep Closer after realizing Bali’s roads and prams don’t work together, and once they try it, they rarely go back. These testimonials capture what makes Keep Closer special: it’s designed by a mom who gets what real travel with a baby is like.

‍

"I absolutely love how easy it is to use! My baby doesn’t like staying in the stroller for too long, so we switch between the carrier and stroller every 10 minutes.

It’s also super convenient for getting things done around the house — my arms don’t get as tired with the carrier.

Thank you so much! I’m sure I’ll be using it even more once my son starts walking."

Svetlana ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

‍

"I love how small it folds up so it’s easy to bring with you and put in the stroller bag if my baby wants to get out of it.

The strap is very comfortable and it’s a great size, not bulky.

The carrier is so well thought out — the buckle is strong and the stitching is great!

And I love the patterns, especially for my wild boy who loves animals!"

Jess ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

‍

"The product is fantastic, age appropriate for 9 months to 4 years for sure. The material feels good quality, and it feels like it has been made well. I also like the added decorative bangle that hangs down from it.

It was a real treat to open the packaging — nicely wrapped, with pretty instructions and information about the product.

Your harness is fantastic, the best I’ve had over the years with my 3 kids!"

Mia ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Tips for babywearing in Bali

• Dress lightly: Choose thin, breathable clothing for both of you.
• Hydrate often: You’ll both stay cooler if you keep water handy.
• Take breaks indoors: Step into cafes or stores with A/C for short rests.
• Watch baby’s cues: If they’re flushed or restless, give them a break from body heat.

Final thoughts

Keep Closer isn’t just another baby brand, their carriers are a lifesaver that turns chaos into calm.

It’s that moment when your baby finally naps against your chest while you watch the sunset, or when you stroll through a busy road with both hands free for coffee and coconut water.

‍

If you’re heading to Bali with little ones, add “baby carrier” to your packing list. And if you forget it, know that a thoughtful local brand has your back, and your baby's.

Stay close to your bubba, travel light, and enjoy every moment. 💛
