Olives and Applesauce
“Olives & Applesauce first opened its doors in 2006 as one woman with a mission to make babywearing a household word. Over a decade later, our desire to create a simple, long lasting, quality carrier, that fits a wide range of people is still going strong. We strive to design carriers based on your comfort and needs.”

Charity M. says, “I don’t know how I would manage three kids without our baby carriers, and the owner is awesome!”
Stephanie D. says, “Baxter is a military spouse and an incredible person. She volunteers a lot of her time to help the community of caregivers feel empowered to take care of their children.”
Michelle T. says, “…spending a few years living oversea my baby carrier was a life saver. Trains and walking, 5 kids under 8 is no joke and many places aren’t stroller friendly. It allowed me to get out when husband was gone. It also helped my husband bond with the babies and toddlers which was big since he was gone so much.”
Kimberly L. says, “She has a heart for service and is a leader in our local community. Her hard work, generosity, and genuine love reach far across the country (and the world!) She is a support to military and non-military families alike, a shining example of a military spouse, and a savvy businesswoman with a quality product to offer.” ???
