    Carrier for 1.5 year old that will last.

    Hi all, I'm in thr market for my, quite heavy and sturdy, nearly 18 month old. I was on the verge of buying thr Tula toddler, but, as I was watching YouTube videos to see if it was easy to use, the person I was watching said it's best from 2 years old. I do want to get something that I can...

    T.I.C.K.S. is just a terrible acronym

    There's a C and a K and there's Chin and there's Kiss, so what word goes with what letter? Well it's not the one you expect.

    How are you dressing warmly when wearing baby in an ssc?

    I can’t figure out how to get dressed! I think I know how to keep Bub warm, but I keep changing my mind about me. Usual layers? less layers? carrier over puffer jacket or puffer jacket over carrier? Full disclosure- I’m from an Australian city. ‘Cold’ means 9-15 deg Celsius (48-59 F) during...

    Ergobaby mesh 360

    I was gifted a ergobaby mesh 360. I was not given the insert and I’m confused if my l.o needs it. He is 11 weeks and almost 14 pounds, the manual says the infant insert is needed from 7-12 lbs and can be used without one at 4 months. Would I still need to use the infant insert if he’s above the...

    Frustrated with Tula

    Hi, I’m hoping someone here can help me figure out a better solution for me than the Tula Explore. I was very excited to get it after all the enthusiasm on here, but it just doesn’t seem to fit my body right. If my baby is low enough that I can comfortably kiss his head, then the waist strap...

    Baby can’t get comfy in Ergo w/o Infant Insert

    We haven’t been doing much babywearing the last 6 weeks or so because of the heat, but previously LO was a big fan of napping in the Ergo 360. She’s now 4 months, 24” and just past 12lbs and I can’t figure out how to keep her comfortable in the carrier. With the insert in she’s ok but her head...

    OH. EM. GEE. The Lark carrier is LOVE. ❤️

    First off, I'm not a natural at baby wearing. Like u know those moms who make it look so easy? Yeah, not me lol. Needed something super easy to put on my own, comfortable & lightweight. Wrap carriers aren't for me so was looking for a SSC. Didn't do much research while I was pregnant & just...

    Ergobaby Omni 360 strap help

    I originally had my Ergobaby Omni set up in the H strap position and hated it, and now I’m coming back to it and giving it another shot in the cross back position. My question is, what do I do with the back strap thats used in the H mode when I’m doing the cross back? When I look at the...

    How did you choose a baby carrier/wrap?

    Due June 9 and planning to spend most of May being as “zen” as possible and letting my body guide me. One thing my husband and I haven’t done yet, but need to do, is pick out baby carriers/wraps for baby wearing at home and on-the-go. We are overwhelmed with the name brands, styles, price...

    [Rant/Need Advice] I bought an Onbuhimo that was advertised as BNIB off the Facebook B/S/T group, and it REEKS of cigarette smoke

    Title pretty much says it all. I bought an Onbuhimo off of the B/S/T facebook group (the one that is linked on the Happy Baby website, so it's not an off-shoot group, in case that is important) that was advertised as BNIB. I was initially very happy since it was in a colorway (Nova) that has...

    H&P Lark Sizing

    Can anyone provide some guidance on the sizing for the H&P Lark? I feel like I am just on the cusp between sizes. I wear a 14/16 in pants, have a short torso and large chest, and am 5 foot 2 in 210 lbs. I really want to use it for both front and back carrying but have heard the LL lark is not...

    this or that

    We are going out of town(sports, 3-4 days, 3-6 games) a few weeks after baby is born and i think it'll be easier to wear them than use a stroller. It'll be fairly cold(40-50°f maybe?). I have a basic ergo or a wrap I can use. Which one is going to be easier to keep them warm and be able to wear...

    Can’t get baby’s legs into an M

    FTM and probably missing a lot of knowledge 😅 my baby doesn’t want to put her legs in an M whatsoever. Trying to use the Solly wrap and it’s really hard to get her to unscrunch so I can pull her little legs out. Is there a trick to this? Do some baby’s just not like that position? Maybe she...

    Tula Free-to-Grow vs. Wildbird Aerial Carrier??

    I’m looking for advice on these two! I have a baby k’tan wrap that I’ve been wearing for a while now! My 7 week old (11 lbs) falls asleep in it and takes a long nap daily, but it’s beginning to really hurt my back and she slides down during wear, so no longer in the kissable area! I’m looking to...

    Struggling with your baby wrap? Maybe this will help!

    Not sure if this has been posted before, but I found this video to be super helpful with learning how to use my baby wrap! It was kinda a pain, and even a bit stressful, trying to figure out how to use the wrap. However, after watching this a couple times I was able to get LO (4 or 5 weeks at...

    Ring sling for baby that dislikes wrap for beach, pool use

    My baby is almost 9 months and around 16lbs. She dislikes wrap style carriers, tolerates the ergobaby under most circumstances, and is quite happy on the tush baby. We are usually at the pool or beach every weekend over the summer, and I really don’t want to get sand up in my tush baby. I want...

    What’s the difference between the Ergo Omni Mesh and the Ergo Breeze?

    I can’t seem to figure this out from searching online. Edit: I emailed them and this is what they sent: Omni Breeze is our most breathable carrier that does it all. LightweightSoftFlex™ Mesh that covers almost all of carrier provides maximum air flow with a streamlined look to keep you and...
