Try Before You Buy?

⭐️ START HERE: About the TBYB Program

Have fun finding the perfect baby carrier for your family—without the pressure. With Little Zen One’s free Try Before You Buy (TBYB) program, you can try up to 5 different carriers, for a full week each, before deciding to buy.

We proudly run the world’s largest TBYB baby carrier program, trusted by thousands of caregivers in Canada and the USA.

✨ How Does It Work?

Here’s a step-by-step breakdown so you know what to expect:

1. Sign Up

Have you joined the Little Zen One Chatter: Babywearing + TBYB Facebook Group?
If not, start there.

Then, find the Featured Post inside the group and click the sign-up link. Or head directly here.

In the form:

  • Choose the specific carrier(s) or general types you'd like to try.
  • Choose “Shortest List” and we’ll match you!

2. Get Ready to Be Tagged

Wondering, “Now what?” You’ll be tagged in a #TBYB-Time post!

Once tagged, you’ll be added to a Group Chat for your selected carrier type

👀 Watch your Facebook Messenger Message Requests so you don’t miss your invite!

🕐 Wait Time: Usually under 5 weeks, but popular carriers may take longer. Thanks for your patience!

3. Join Your Host Order

Once in the Group Chat, you’ll be added to a Host Order, which is a small group of caregivers who will each try the same carrier.

Next steps:

  • Read pinned messages from the Admin—they’ll guide you
  • Follow all chat instructions for hosting, shipping, and updates

Note: The Host Order may take a few days to finalize while we gather your group.

4. Your Turn to Try

🎉 Your carrier has arrived! Here’s what to do:

  • Try it out! You’ve got 7 full days to use the carrier
  • Share your experience with #TBYB for a chance to win a $40 gift card (we pick a winner monthly!)
  • On Day 8, decide what’s next:

Love it?
Message us at m.me/littlezenone at least 1 day before your ship date for an invoice—get 15% off!

Want a different color or pattern?
We’ll send you a one-time 10% off code to order from our shop.

Not for you?
No worries! Package it up and send it to the next person in your Host Order.

💡 Pro Tip: Stay in the chat until the next person confirms they got the carrier!

5. Try More Carriers

Want to try another? Just sign up again using the same form!
You can try up to 5 carriers for free—or unlock 5 more if you make a purchase over $125 at Little Zen One.

Good to Know

  • Open to caregivers in Canada and the USA (excluding APOs)
  • TBYB is free to participate in—you just cover shipping costs
  • We can’t pause Host Orders, so please sign up only if you’ll be around for the next 5 weeks
  • Group chats are monitored Monday, Wednesday, and Friday
