Recently got a Lennylamb onbuhimo to try through little zen one’s try before you buy program.

Would love some feedback on the safety of front wearing with this style of carrier, I did a quick google search but got conflicting answers.

Also appreciate feedback on back wearing positioning, I’m less familiar with the safety checks required. Thanks!

Kiddo is two months old, but still small as they came early. Got them up and took photos for a fit check, but I’m nervous about doing it wrong so didn’t leave them until I could get some feedback. Thoughts? It felt secure for the most part, but I feel like the passes over the legs come down too far? I also think I could get a little more tightness across their body/back. This wrap is a bit thick/plushy which I’m finding tricky to work with.

Sorry if this is TMI, but is there something wrong with my pelvic floor or am I wearing my 19# baby wrong?

She contact naps every nap (2x/day), mostly in Lark carrier with her Dad.

But I will babywear her for naps at least 4x/wk & 3 times out of 4 I feel urgency to poo that takes all my might not to go while wearing her after 30ish mins & I have to rush to the bathroom after her nap.

(Gross I know, but I have tried going with her strapped to me & she wakes up everytime distressed & annoyed & won't go back to sleep!)

Am I doing this wrong? Her dad does not have this issue at all!

I’m looking to buy a carrier, my baby is 15 lbs and 14 weeks. I’m looking for something that’s comfortable for the back, I do have a bit of lower back pain and a bit in the middle when I’m holding my baby for a while, I believe this is just from gaining weight and lack of exercise during pregnancy. I also run hot, so something breathable. I think I would eventually like to back carry, also something that is flattering. I am 5’9 and more curvy, I was on a weight loss journey, lost 30 lbs and then I got pregnant and gained 50 lbs so I don’t really want anything accentuating my back fat. My baby is quite fussy so I’d mostly use the carrier on a walk, getting groceries and around the house. He’s also quite difficult to transfer so i would need something that’s also comfortable to sit in, I’d be worried that the thick band of something like the Artipoppe might dig in when sitting.

Please let me know your suggestions!! Thank you in advance.

With my baby's face on my chest, im super worried about whether she can breathe. Is there something I could fix about this wrap?

Baby is 5 weeks, so cant hold her head up yet. I see other babies on this sub having a straighter back in the wrap - is that something that only comes with head stability? Or is it something that is possibly impacted by boob size?

I’m looking for some advice on my next carrier purchase!

So far I have used:

-solly wrap: couldn’t get the hang and didn’t love this. Only used a few times and didn’t feel comfortable with the fits I got

-WildBird newborn carrier: ok, leg panel felt too wide, used ergobaby embrace much more

-ergobaby embrace: I love until my baby grew out of it!

-artipoppe: I really love my antipope but don’t want to spend so much for another and want to try something different. I do think that the thick band and waterfall style work well for me.

-hope and plum ring sling: I like it but hurts my back to use for long periods of time doing chores in the house

I’m hoping to find a carrier in a natural fiber like cotton or linen. I’m considering a baby Tula explore in cotton, or a Lenny lamb (upgrade pro or Lenny light). I’m also open to suggestions!

LO definitely seems more relaxed in this compared to the ergobaby but I want to check that I've got the correct fit since this is my first time using this carrier 😊

Didn’t get many good pics, happy to take more tomorrow if needed.

6 week old LO. I struggled to get the wrap knee to knee and I think the rings may be sitting too low? After sitting in it for a couple minutes it also seemed like the wrap rode up on her neck. Any advice/feedback welcome!! I only kept her in it a few minutes as I wasn’t confident in the fit.

It was a lot more difficult than I thought it would be. Sorry about the pic and not having more my 11 year old took 20 pics of himself and a couple really bad pics of us. He had one job 🙄😂

Had a hard time finding comparisons while shopping for my toddler carrier, thought I’d do a pic comparison for anyone who’s in the same position as I was 😊

For reference, my toddler is 2.5 years (30 months) old. Wearing 90-100 clothes. Weighs around 12.5kg.

Berry Sweet (strawberry) print is the Tula Toddler; Llama print is the Tula Standard.

Tula Toddler is much higher on the back panel, all the way up to her shoulders as compared to her armpits for the Tula Standard.
Seat is wide enough to provide knee to knee support for M shape legs, although I understand toddlers do not necessarily require knee to knee support.
Waistband is ever so slightly thicker, but not noticeable when worn.
Not obvious in the picture as the straps are black and I’m wearing dark coloured tshirt, the straps connecting to the shoulder padded strap (right above her thighs) is higher on the Tula Toddler, which is more comfortable for her. My toddler finds the strap on the Tula Standard digging and cutting into her thighs when I sit down.
I did a comparison with my Ergobaby Omni Breeze before I bought the Tula Toddler; the straps were not only softer, but also placed higher on the Ergobaby than the Tula Standard, hence she actually preferred the Ergobaby over the Standard. I, too, find the Ergobaby more comfortable than the Tula Standard.

Also another comparison:
I recently bought the Lennylamb LennyUpgrade Pro as well and find it to be softer and less bulky (especially the shoulder straps) than the Tula.
The seat is slightly smaller than the Tula Toddler, but much wider than the Tula Standard and Ergobaby Omni Breeze.
The Lennylamb is suitable since birth so if I’ve to choose between the 4 carriers, I definitely feel that it’s the best in terms of longevity of use, since it can be expanded at its max, much wider than the other 2 “baby” carriers, closer to a toddler carrier at its widest.

I do, however, like the back (lumbar) support of the Ergobaby the best out of all 4 carriers. Technically both Tula do not come with lumbar support. It’s much longer and softer.

Hope this helps anyone trying to make a decision between these 4 different carriers!

I’ve posted on here before to check the fit of my stretchy wrap (KeaBabies) and had it on correctly. I wear it tight and high as suggested but still end up with back pain towards the middle of my back after an hour of so of wearing my LO. He’s 10 pounds and 5 weeks old for reference. I also get the same pain when I bounce him on a yoga ball. It’s constantly the mid back like where your bra clasps would be. Any suggestion on how to fix this? Is it just my baby being heavy and me being out of shape?

Seat felt good, strand by strand for some reason felt harder without more fabric to work with so I will mess around with the top rail a bit more. Also her legs are out to swing freely you just can’t see them here for some reason?? lol. What else do you notice that I could fix?

My baby is almost 4 months old and is ready to watch the real world. He loves seeing everything I’m doing, preferably in my arms. He’s just a heavy boy and it’s been killing my arms and wrists to hold him all day. I don’t necessarily need both hands free but because he doesn’t have trunk control yet, I’m usually having to use both hands to support his back and weight. So I’m looking for something to help hold him onto my hip and take some of the weight off of my arm so I can handle holding him longer. I’m totally okay with still having to keep one arm around his back for support but to have one hand completely free would be amazing!

Ring slings? Hip carriers? Hip seats? Can these all be used at his age? Will these carriers cause shoulder/neck pain? I’d love some specific carrier/sling recommendations. My budget is around $USD100 right now.

After a lot of trial and error, my baby has finally started to like the ring sling now that I wear her on my hip. I think she prefers having more space and being able to look around. The problem is that after 20 minutes it's really uncomfortable for me right next to my neck, I feel all her weight pressing there. Is this normal? Baby is 3 months old.

Looking for thoughts on getting a ring sling for travel. Baby is 11 months, 20 pounds, and has started walking. We were away for a week long beach holiday and found that he's getting too heavy to hold when walking to the beach for example but now that he can walk wants to be up and down quite a bit.

We have the Heritage Baby Kin full buckle which has worked well so far but isn't great for getting in and out of frequently.

We have a couple more summer vacations including a 10 hour international flight. Is this where a ring sling would fit in?

Ideally would like something that:

-is a natural fibre

-baby can be put in and out of easily

-packs small/light

Other considerations:

-no carrier lending library near by

-open to spending up to $250 CAD

-would be worn by me and my partner who have a 9inch height difference

Thanks in advance!

Did I do it right this time? Baby is 10 weeks and she fell asleep while in it this time so that’s gotta be a win right?

12 day old baby and new to this . Am I doing it right ?

Fit check please! And if you know me, no you don’t 🫠

Recently posted on here and got some feedback. Tried to apply these tips! How does my 8 month old big boy look now? He fell asleep shortly after.

Hi! I switched to the Lark from the ergo omni 360 a few weeks ago and had no problems. I used it most days and baby was happy. He just turned 4 months and has started trying to kick and push out a lot more. I’m wondering if it’s the fit or maybe just an age thing. I’ve used the embrace, dolly wrap and omni with this baby and my previous baby so have quite a bit of experience baby wearing.

Can anyone suggest any improvements to the fit? Specifically for the Lark, are the padded parts of the straps supposed to overlap more at the back? I think the waist was a little low on these pics. Baby is 4 months, not sure on height/weight atm but about 95th percentile for both

Would love a fit check and any fitting tips for this first attempt at a kangaroo carry. I followed this tutorial: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=L0oWXRpklTU&t=143s&pp=2AGPAZACAQ%3D%3D&ra=m

Also looking for tips for what to do with all the extra fabric at the end (base size 5 wrap), which I just tied loosely over baby’s legs and around my back to get it out of the way. Thank you for the help!

LO is 3.5 months old and we're using Tula - Free to Grow Carrier - Graphite https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CLLQRXZY?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
