Heritage & History
New Native was founded in 1992 by Nancy Main in San Pedro, California, creating what was among the first commercially available soft baby carrier slings in the American market. Nancy began with a practical insight: new mothers needed a hands-free way to keep their babies close while remaining mobile, and the soft wrap carrier format — common in many cultures globally — had not been commercialized for the American mainstream.
The company has operated as a woman-owned family business for over three decades, with Nancy's daughter Roseann Scrivens now directing operations. Manufacturing has remained in California throughout the company's history, employing local mothers in the production process — a deliberate choice that reflects the brand's belief that supporting families starts with the people who make the product.
Made in California
New Native carriers are manufactured in San Pedro, California using certified organic cotton. The single-piece wrap design requires no buckles, straps, or rings — parents simply tie the carrier to their body and place the baby inside, creating a secure, womb-like environment that supports the baby's natural fetal position. The design works from birth through approximately 35 pounds.
The organic cotton fabric is soft enough for newborn skin, GOTS-certified, and washable in a standard home washer. New Native's California manufacturing means shorter supply chains, domestic employment, and the ability to maintain quality control that thirty years of consistent five-star reviews reflects. For parents who want an organic American-made carrier with a proven three-decade track record, New Native represents the category's domestic pioneer.
