@castro3373 It’s so stiff and bulky, right? A half buckle has a buckle on the waistband and wrap-like straps on top. According to some of the folks in comments above, there are some brands where the waistband is less intense than Ergobaby which is what I was hoping.

@tatan10 Nice, that’s what I had a hunch/was hoping to hear, and fair enough that it’s hard to know if it’d like them. Maybe a ring sling is the intermediate answer until an onbuhimo makes sense. Thanks!

@thefriendlyvillager That’s a great idea, but my local baby wearing library seems to have gone defunct during COVID. Maybe I’ll ask on the local parenting fb group. Thanks! Ooh also if you don’t like SSCs, can I ask what you use/prefer?

@neostarwcc Interesting! Will check out, though the onbuhimo looks like I need the kid to have more neck control first? Mines currently 3 months.

@alexander7791 Good to know! I’m strongly considering this one. Maybe I’ll just go straight for this one instead of trying for the Lenny Hrybrid where I think I’m more likely to dislike the waistband. Thanks!

@js0174 Thanks for weighing in! I think you’re probably right and I should go with a mei dai. I wasn’t familiar with Fidella, will check them out!

@marsbars Ah nice, that’s kind of what I was hoping. I wish there was a place near me I could try them on! I might give the Lenny Hybrid a try if I can find one with a decent return policy. Thanks!!

@elijah13 I think I’m feeling the same way! What carrier do you have that you like best?

Hi all! I have a bigger baby (3 months old, 15.5 lbs). Our first kid was tiny and didn’t love being worn when older, so I mostly used a Solly wrap with him. Been loving the Solly again this time, but we’re sizing out of it now. I’ve got two hand-me-down SSCs (Beco Gemini and some kind of...

@yesnice I leave at 4:30 every day and have for a year and half since kiddo started daycare, working a 90% schedule. It works for me, to a degree. My coworkers and company are respectful of when I need to leave, but it stresses me out to know I’m my inbox is piling up for another 2 hours before...
