Our Story

Oakie began in one of life’s biggest transitions, becoming a mum.

After having my son, it didn’t take long to realise the pram just wasn’t our thing. He loved being close, and we were still very much on the move. Our days were (and still are) spent out and about, meeting friends at the beach or the park, heading out on coastal walks and hikes, and travelling interstate to visit family, sometimes by air. Life didn’t slow down when he arrived, it just changed shape.

I needed a simple, comfortable way to carry him that fitted into our everyday life. Something easy to grab, supportive, and practical, while still feeling good to use. A carrier that let me move freely while keeping him close and content.

Inspired by a life lived outdoors and a love for slower, more intentional days, Oakie hip carriers are designed for real families, living real lives. They’re made to be intuitive, comfortable, and reliable; whether you’re heading out for a walk, jumping on a plane, or just popping down for a coffee.

Alongside being a mum, I’m also a primary school educator, and caring for children has always been at the heart of what I do. That understanding naturally flows into Oakie, creating products that support both parents and little ones, without overcomplicating things.

Oakie is about closeness, freedom, and sharing everyday moments together, with your little one right there with you.

Thanks so much for being here.
