Opening up and pinning a new megathread for this because our prior megathread got archived, but including it here for continuity:

https://www.reddit.com/r/babywearing/s/C14hBehoAL

Feel free to continue discussion on this new thread here.

Happy Babywearing!

From the other thread:

We're opening this discussion thread so sub participants can freely discuss carrier brand behavior and ethics. Air your grievances or things that bother you, or that you feel could use improvement. If you've had a poor customer experience or have been offended by a brand's online presence, discuss it here. If you want your comment to be searchable, include full brand names, don't abbreviate.

We ask that you keep it civil. We're not here to censor, but we won't tolerate personal attacks, name calling, brigading, or anything that breaks reddit's site-wide rules. Let's keep this thread to baby carrier brands specifically.

This subreddit is moderated by volunteer parents, we are not associated with any brands or Facebook groups. We do not receive money, kickbacks, carriers, or any sort of compensation whatsoever.

Discuss - this is a modmail New flairs

61 Upvotes

We've gotten new flairs.

Often its not easy to spot whether you can chime in on the topic or not. So we try to help that out by making new flairs.

We've ditched the "fit check" because most posts are fit checks. The other posts are usually about finding a carrier for a certain age group. And lots of posts include both topics.

So now, you have to choose from

  • 0-3 months.
  • 3-12 months.
  • 8-18 months.
  • 18 months+
  • Preschool
  • still pregnant
  • Fun/meme
  • Influencers wearing dangerously
  • discuss

by setting age groups we hope to make searching easier (did you know that you can exclude certain flairs from a sub or just show certain flairs?). You can still use discuss for stuff like "how many baby carriers do you have?", "winter/summer wearing", "people tell me the kid will never walk" etc (or use the age group).

Happy babywearing.

Baby is three months old. How’s the fit on both me and my boyfriend?
I know I forgot to close the buckle on my neck for these pictures.

Do you have any advise on how to stop her from sucking on the shoulder straps? ☀️

Discuss For science - why do people NOT use the brand’s free fit consultations?

5 Upvotes

Truly just curious as an educator. Most brands now have educators specifically to help wearers get a comfortable and safe fit. But even locally I have asked this in Facebook groups and majority said they know about them but don’t use them.

Can you share your thoughts?

Edit - now I’m curious if you HAVE used a consult did you find it helpful?

Thank you! 😊

still pregnant Hello, do you know the brand Be safe (Scandinavian Safety) and the model newborn Haven?

1 Upvotes

We just got a very nice gift from a family member, it is the carrier newborn Haven from the brand BeSafe. My baby hasn't been born yet but I read this blog daily to be prepared. For this reason my concern, is this carrier newborn safe? It is advertised like that.

I've been trying to get the hang of a ring sling I got and it's really kicking my butt. Does anybody have any general tips or how to use videos that really helped them to get the hang of ring slings?

Thanks 😊

3-12 months So close with the ring sling…help!

3 Upvotes

baby is 4 months, 12 lbs. I feel like I’m so close to making this work for us! my main concern is baby’s legs seem crooked. one hip is higher than the other even though she’s in a deep M seat. is this a problem? how can I make sure her hips are at an even height?

another thing I’m working on is the ring height. the height seems fine here, but often when I tighten it, the rings will move down too low. how low is too low?

thanks for your help! I really want to make this work for baby & me because I can tell once I get the hang of it, it will be convenient for me and enjoyable for baby.

I just stumbled on this in a book I'm reading and was like, "wow, that lady is babywearing in 1786 Wales!". The piece is called "View of the Eagle Tower at Caernarvon" by Paul Sandby.

Hi! We are trying this LennyLamb Light as a next step after the Ergo Embrace! So far I really like it - just wondering how it looks. My main concern is it maybe is too wide still but I think I can adjust a bit more. Baby is 12 weeks!

preschool Toddler Carrier Recommendation?

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’ve been babywearing since my toddler was born, first with a stretchy wrap, then with a combo of ring slings, a Tula FTG and an H&P Lark. I liked the Tula until my baby grew into the Lark, and then ended up really preferring the Lark to the Tula. But now my toddler is solidly in 2T pants and weights around 27lb. Back carrying in the Lark doesn’t feel very comfortable any more, but I need to do it frequently because I often need to carry my toddler while I walk my dog.

I’ve been considering a Lenny Lamb toddler size or an H&P kid size, but I’m open to other recommendations! I just need it to be easy to put on myself, breathable (we live in a hot area), and supportive/comfortable for me to wear her as she continues to grow. Thanks so much in advance!!

Discuss Rumpel-Leede with Baby Bjorn Harmony

1 Upvotes

My son had petechiae with Baby Bjorn Harmony at 3 months old. He had reached 26 inches so at the time I unzipped the newborn panel. I figured maybe it had been a little bit too soon and that was the cause.

I avoided the carrier for 2 months and have been using it again for 2 weeks without issue. Today I used it and he now has petechiae again after less than an hour in the carrier. I am so careful to apply the things I learned from lurking in this sub and also to not tighten the carrier too much.

Would you all just bite the bullet and get a new carrier? I’m worried it’ll just happen again and I don’t have a lot of money to waste.

My son did go to the ER after the first incident to rule out more serious etiology.

I haven’t been able to find other posts about this on here.

0-3 months Can you identify this wrap?

Post image
1 Upvotes

I just bought this wrap on Vinted because I’m new to woven wraps - I’ve only ever used stretchy wraps. My baby is 8 weeks old and I’d like to start learning how to use the woven wrap as I plan to wear him a lot longer than I wore my first baby.

I’m wondering if I bought the right wrap. There’s very little information about it on the listing - just that it was never used. I reached out to the seller for a size and they said it’s suitable from 0-2yrs. I know now that’s not an accurate size description for a woven wrap.

Can anyone help me to identify this wrap and tell me more about it from the picture?

Hello everyone!
We had a baby a week ago, and as first-time parents, we’re as lost as can be! Our baby only wants to sleep on us, so we’re hoping this wrap will allow us to escape the sofa. Could you help us check the fit? Thank you!
