What is a "papoose"?
A papoose is a traditional style of the baby carrier used by some indigenous cultures, typically made of fabric or animal skins and designed to secure an infant or young child against the caregiver's body. It offers a snug and supportive fit, allowing for hands-free mobility while keeping the child close. Papooses promote bonding and nurturing closeness between caregiver and child, providing a comforting and secure environment.
