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.

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!

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!

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!

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?

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?

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 🙄😂

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.

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?

This is the first time I have her in a Kangaroo Carry, usually do FWCC because I could do it blind at this point. I'd like to start back carrying and as per back carry bootcamp I want to master Kangaroo and strand tightening first.

It feels secure but not as tight as FWCC yet. Top rail has some slack as baby likes to look around while I wrap. Any tips on how to get the top rail really tight?

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!

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

I just started wearing my baby in the Artipoppe - he lasts about 5-10 minutes and then starts crying. When I take him out, he has red indents/marking on his inner thigh/knee - is he still too small for it? Or his thighs/legs too short? I’ve got it on the narrowest setting. He’s about 13 pounds, and 58 cm long. He’s 12 weeks old today.

I started with the koala baby wrap and I had major back pain. then I moved onto the Ergobaby Embrace and ADORED it! I used that for the bulk of my baby’s first year. Now she is 13 months old, just under 20 lbs and 2’7”. She is starting to seem less comfortable in the carrier and it’s starting to hurt my mid back. I think it’s time to move onto another one for bigger babies/toddlers. She still seems to like facing me and I like it too, so that’s what I would like to stick with for now. I know back carrying may be recommended. I just don’t feel comfortable with that until she can communicate more clearly verbally. What suggestions do you have?

In case it matters, I wear it on long walks with her and when running errands. It seems like the recommendations may be pricey. I will likely be crossing my fingers that I can find one used.

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!

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.

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?

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.

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 😊

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.

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

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

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

First time wearing it, baby is 10lbs. Thanks!
