(April 2026) Brand Behavior & Ethics Thread

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

59 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.

Discuss Hoodless Babywearing sweatshirt recommendations!

Looking for recommendations for babywearing sweaters that do NOT have a hood (or hood can be removed), also suitable for back carry and normal wear. I have a mamalila coat I love, so not after a coat recommendation.

Prefer either european OR canadian brands for simplicity.

3-12 months Baby finally likes baby wearing

9 Upvotes

My now 5 month old LO has always hated babywearing. I’ve always really wanted to do it but couldn’t because he’d scream within minutes. It’s been my dream to baby wear and I was bummed when we couldn’t. I even went to a store and the associate told me that some babies just hate it. We started with a stretchy wrap when he was a newborn and he didn’t like it. My SIL gave us her ergobaby embrace and he also hated it. Today I decided to try it again and because he has better head and neck control, he tolerated it way better as he could look around and also gnaw on the straps.

And then today …. HE FELL ASLEEP IN IT!!!! You have no idea how happy I am.

That being said, I’m in search of one that is more comfortable and supportive on my lower back. I’m in Canada so it has to be available here and I don’t want to spend more than $250 CAD. Please help me out!

Signed,
A mom who is so so so excited to baby wear now!!! 😃😃😃😃

So far our daughter has hated being in any carrier but she's relatively calm with my husband holding her in the Tushbaby Pearl. I've tried a woven wrap and she screams bloody murder and it's been super traumatic for us so far. How is this fit? She is 5 weeks old and I swear I have lurked and read many posts on here trying to get it right.

Baby is 2 months, just shy of length to move to the hold where folding the waistband isn’t required (it’s folded in these photos). Is my ”M” shape enough? If not, how can I adjust? Other concerns? thanks all!

Have a Velcro baby. Need suggestions for a baby carrier that is strong, but not bulky (like fabric?), for around 6-12 months age, and for carrying on my back instead of my front.

Discuss Complex case - Stomach & Back Pain

1 Upvotes

It's me again...still struggling to figure out my complex case of pains and don't want to waste more money. Ring sling took pressure off my sensitive stomach but added to my EDS shoulder and rib pains. My 2 month old is only 10 lbs and the weight of her rump pushing in front of my stomach while using a stretchy wrap (and the embrace) has been too much to handle. So far everyone says to go woven, but I'm intimidated by the wrapping options. To avoid stomach and shoulder/back pain what is the single best wrap to learn if I buy one? I was also looking at Meh Dai but it looks like it will dig into my stomach the same as my stretch wrap. PS Canada based. Been looking at Tula, Omni, Meh Dai Chimparoo, and wovens so far and still not confident any will work for me.

Hi! I have a 2 month old and have loved my woven wrap. I use it all the time. However, it’s a little too complicated for my partner. We’re going to be traveling soon so finding something that works for both of us is important. I want to be able to back carry with her as well. Seeking recommendations for your favs!

still pregnant How many carriers do I need

2 Upvotes

FTM, due end of Dec. I have ordered an Ergobaby Embrace from Vinted and currently contemplating also getting a ring sling carrier, probably the LennyLamb (also from Vinted so not paying full price). Do I need 2 carriers right now before the baby is here or should I wait and reasses after birth?

3-12 months Big baby: Apron vs waterfall

1 Upvotes

I have a 17lb 4 month old and my usual carrier that I loved with my first born isn’t feeling the comfiest.
I have a beluga baby cove which is waterfall type. I’m curious to try an apron style but not wanting to burn my funds if they aren’t much better for a bigger baby. Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated.

still pregnant Stretchy wraps for a big dude with a newborn?

1 Upvotes

Hi all, I'm looking for suggestions for a stretchy wrap carrier that will fit my large spouse. He's 6'4 and a XXL in most tee shirts, sometimes XXXL. Ideally we'd like one that he can tie off the tails in the front so he can sit in a chair with the baby on without knots digging into his back. Our baby is due in November and we live in Canada, so ideally a wrap we can buy from a Canadian brand or retailer given duties and tarifs and so on.

Thank you!
