@randyt68 I'm in Denmark, so your temperature is our fall and spring (plus a lot of rain and wind). Normal layers as you would dress the baby inside. Something to pull over the feet and legs when going outside. Same goes for you, dress for inside when strapping on the baby, then layers over...

@michaelthiessen Of course they're more expensive. They're woven so it's more work. The fabric is better quality and it'll last longer... Lenny lamb, didymos come to mind as some of the great quality brands but not the most expensive. Look for second hand ones. I've had two cheap Amazon mehdais...

@leilanee Is there a specific reason why the carrier needs to go in the water?

@anditsnotmybirthday Emeibaby toddlersize. Will fit for some years from now.

@michaelthiessen A woven wrap or a mehdai/half buckle should meet the criteria for carrying both a newborn and your older kid. The mehdai/half buckle needs to be adjusted in the panel every time you switch between the two kids. The woven wrap is tied after you put the kid in. Non of these has...

@twinklesamir A 4/5t sized jacket. Maybe you can find some used if you don't want to invest in one because you don't know which size your kid will be in a couple of years. You put the baby in the carrier. Then you'll open the jacket and flip it upside down. Baby's legs go into the arms openings...

@colinjesusboy28 Mine only would nap moving the first year. The first three months it was only while babywearing (or contact naps) and from around 4 months it was only in a moving pram. She's 8 and has no "bad" sleeping habits, whatsoever. He's 5 weeks, he's been used to movement, closeness...

@sharz You're not forming a habit. The habit has been there for 9 months already. The habit has been darkness, mom's heartbeat, food on demand without any effort, low noises and always the perfect temperature and a constant movement in a curled up position. The world outside is loud and cold...

@the_creation_center Because of anatomy. Can't really explain it but there's less skin that touches.

@the_creation_center Agree with the natural fibers. Wool/silk is great for the summer. Babywearing will be hot where bodies meet, no matter what. So you want some fabric that can hold a lot of moisture and transport it without feeling wet. Natural fibers do that. Linen, silk, bamboo, hemp, even...

@chrishaun Every carrier or wrap has a learning curve. And there's no "one size fits all". I started straight out with a woven wrap and has used it and a mehdai like the didymos didyklick for almost a year. I found it easiest (after learning how to tie it) - not only for putting it on but also...

@playingforthelord What carrier do you use now? How old is the baby? You might want to see if your baby can do arms out or do a hip carry. I've never used forward facing but also had a curious baby. Arms out did wonders (I used a woven wrap and mehdai) but the best thing was to get her high on...

@densol UK has Integra, didymos, Lenny lamb, Osha, tula, wombat,.... Might also have fidella and kokadi

@louy51 What carrier are you using?and how old, tall and heavy is your baby? Good information to include. 😊 You can edit this into your post.

@silvercaster For me it didn't matter. The personal fit was key. I used woven wraps with an x back and it was comfortable, used another wrap and it felt heavy because the weaving and material was different. Used one mehdai and it was great, used another one where I really needed to pay attention...

@jane2468 You're welcome. If you're near the German border try to find a DM. They've got wool clothes and they're not that expensive. Quality is ok. Don't know if they've got the thick woolsuits though.

@jane2468 Be careful with a snowsuit though. A) it's bulky and compromises the ergonomic position of the baby. B) it keeps the baby warm by a layer of air inside. When carrying the baby you push out the air and the baby gets cold very quickly. If you do a search here you'll find tons of...

@emperorsolo Go to a sling library without having anything in mind and be open to what they suggest. Seriously, having a set of hands that know what they're doing and can guide you towards something that will work for you is best. You might find something on vinted you think looks good and seems...

@kayleey_your_moon For Europe, I'd say (in no particular order) Tula, Emeibaby, isara, buzzidil, Ruckeli, Lenny lamb, madame Jordan Mr x, manduca, limas, fidella fusion, and wombat For mehdais: Didyklick, Fräulein hübsch, Lenny lamb, storchenwiege, girasol mysol, isara quick, Onbuhimo...

@glass1985 There are a lot of carriers missing on that list. And it doesn't mean that they're not hip friendly. The companies just won't pay for the certificate. It's also a US based company. There are so many companies that make great carriers (didymos, Lenny lamb, Osha, Fräulein hübsch...
