@twins4heaven I think my comment above still stands! It's helpful for holding a clingy baby for ~15-30 mins at a time, but less helpful if I'm trying to do any chores that require two hands. I would say, I have been using it a lot less recently, because my baby seems to have chilled out a bit...

@brotherbeedo15 Ooh, good to know! I reckon you could also take the two carriers apart and sew them together in that way. Great, now I'm tempted to buy even more things. 😂😂

@brotherbeedo15 Hahaha, clearly thinking alike here! Interesting that you find the Gooseket more comfortable. Is that because the shoulder strap hugs the shoulder more? Sounds like the ideal version has the Wild Ride seat and the Gooseket strap?

@evowoman24 Thank you for the tips! Ring slings always looked so complicated to me, but maybe it's just that I haven't tried / will need practice! I'll probably try to find a sling library and go from there

I have a 98th percentile 6 month old, weighing 22lbs. When we're out and about, we use the Marsupi carrier, which mostly works well, and I have a Tula Free to grow coming, so I can try the back carry position. I'd love to get something easy and quick for the home. He wants to be picked up a...
