If you’ve been scrolling through parenting TikTok or Instagram lately, you’ve probably spotted it: the Najell SleepCarrier - and now, the beloved design has been updated for 2026.
The Swedish brand, adored by Lily Collins and a host of influencers, has just launched the SleepCarrier Vol. 5, a stylish upgrade to the original product that has been called a 'game-changer' and 'the best newborn item for moms'.
The Najell SleepCarrier Vol. 5 is the smarter babynest with more stable sides, a new secure locking system, and safety-tested approval for overnight sleep.
Parents love how it makes moving, playing, and napping with their newborn effortless.

The original SleepCarrier became an instant hit thanks to its versatile design that's part carrycot, part babynest and part playmat.
Influencers and parents praise it for being 'the most used baby product without a doubt' and said it made moving babies around - both in and out of the house - 'effortless'.

'I've used this baby item every single day since giving birth, and it really has been making these newborn days so much easier,' TikToker @amymadisonb shared.
Describing it as a must-have, @s_penman said in her TikTok video: 'My most used item as a second time mum has got to be the Najell SleepCarrier. There were so many items I bought with the first baby that I never ended up getting much use out of. However, this I've used every day, and I'd say it's my number one recommendation.'
The SleepCarrier Vol. 5 builds on that success, introducing a new secure locking system and more stable sides, making it even safer for everyday use.

Every detail has been thought through: the firm, flat base supports a baby’s posture and breathing, breathable materials surround their little bodies, and the structured sides create a snug yet airy environment.
Unlike soft or padded alternatives that can collapse, fold in, or restrict airflow, the SleepCarrier Vol. 5 gives parents peace of mind, knowing their baby is resting safely.
In fact, the Najell SleepCarrier is one of the few safety-tested baby carriers on the market. It has been tested and approved in line with the European Standard for carry cots (EN-1466:2014) and the European standard for mattresses for cots and cribs (EN-16890:2017). Which, in short, means it's approved for both sleeping and carrying a baby.

The SleepCarrier Vol. 5 isn’t the only product update from Najell this year, with the brand also launching the Easy Vol. 2 (pictured), an updated take on its baby carrier
But it’s not just about safety. The updated design, which is suitable for newborns to one year old (or when the baby can roll or sit up on its own), retains all the versatility that made the original such a hit.
It doubles as a playmat for floor time, simply loosen the drawstrings and fold it out. It also fits neatly into prams for trips out, and allows effortless transfers from pram to crib and all without disturbing a sleeping baby.
Not forgetting it's available in chic colourways and patterns, too, including Bouclé Espresso, Bouclé White and Leopard Cream.
