    Help me choose an SSC

    Hi! I have an 11 month old and up until now I have mostly used everything BUT an SSC (woven wraps, ring sling, onbuhimo, meh dai). But now that he’s getting bigger and reaching the “pick me up! No, put me down!” stage, the convenience of an SSC would be nice. I have a standard size kinderpack...

    Baby carrier U.K

    I have the izmi wrap for my son but he’s almost 7 months and very wriggly and so I’m wanting something a little bit more sturdy and supportive. Ideally I’d love something that he can sit front and back facing but I’m on a budget! Head support would be great too as I love those little baby...

    Help me choose a carrier

    I'm looking to upgrade my baby carrier. I received a baby bjorn at one of my showers and never loved it. (Also after finding this sub, realized it wasn't great for baby either). I'm torn between either the Tula Explore or the Ergobaby Omni. I'm leaning toward ergobaby because it looks like it...

    3 months perfers facing front

    I only put my baby in the carrier for naps. 90% of the time she fusses and fights until she falls asleep. Often I will move her arm out, so she can push off my chest. And I will hold her head to my chest. I sing her to sleep. Within 2-3 minutes she’s out. I feel bad for making her upset...

    Baby hates being in a baby carrier

    My 3 month old baby hates all 3 baby carriers I have which include the solly wrap, the k’tan and the ergo embrace. I’ve been trying to wear her since she was born and she fusses each time. Ironically she wants me to carry her in an upright position all the time. Unfortunately my neck and back...

    What kind of carrier should I get?

    Hi! I’m 22 weeks pregnant with my 3rd baby. My other two are 1 and 2. I have the baby bjorn mini which is fine for when baby is a little bigger with head control. I also bought a used wildbird sling but haven’t used it before. I know I don’t like wrap style carriers. I’m sure it was user error...

    Ftm baby carrier recommendations?

    I don’t know anything about baby wearing. I’m due in 9 days and will be buying one second hand on Facebook marketplace. Ideally one that’s not complicated to put on and remove every time, so not a wrap. It would have to be suitable from early days and obviously support a v young baby. I’m...

    Carrier recommendation for someone who’s 5’1?

    Was thinking of the ergobaby 360 cuz it has good reviews, but not too sure if it would suit someone who’s short like me or if height matters much in this case? What is a carrier that you would recommend for someone like me?

    What are your thoughts on the Moby Go Carrier?

    I saw that its on sale at Zulilly today. The reviews on Amazon are mixed and I'm a little confused on how it would work as a back carrier if the straps are crossed in the front. I'm a plus size momma with a large bust. Also new to all of this. I'd appreciate anyone experience with this carrier...

    Sling/wrap you can put on over a sleeping baby?

    My baby is 1 month old and we have two stretchy wraps (a thick Boba and a lightweight Sollybaby) and an old Ergo Omni 360. She usually likes the stretchy wraps (I’m wearing her in the boba now haha), but sometimes when she’s cranky she won’t go in it and just wants to be held to fall asleep. I’m...

    Too late for ring sling?

    With a humid summer ahead of me, I've been considering a ring sling for my baby (currently have a Solly wrap and WildBird Aeriel). My boy is on the big side (around 70%) so I'm nervous that his weight will be too much for my shoulders in a ring sling, but the light fabric/easy of getting baby in...

    C-section advice

    My wife had an emergency cesarean. The healing has been a tricky process, and she is still getting pain around the scar when wearing our son in the carrier 5 months on. Are there any things to try or change to reduce the pressure around the area? Or a different type of carrier that might be...

    Okay, so I’ve scoured the Reddit posts and just can’t decide. I want to get a soft structure carrier for my 8 week old. I currently have a stretchy wrap, ring sling, and an infantino carrier my husband uses. This is for me as something beautiful, stylish, but functional. I’m currently looking...

    At the point of wanting to burn my ring sling

    My beautiful hope&plum ring sling I have spent so much money on and SO much time trying to figure out. I’ve watched the tutorials, I did the consult with Mallory, I paid for a consult with a local babywearing expert, I practice putting my baby in like 4-5 times a day. I would say three times or...

    Considering baby bjorn mini but not sure if it’s right for me!

    Hi everyone! I have a 2 week old who I would like to baby wear. I currently have the baby k’tan, but both baby and I are not a fan. Sometimes baby will sleep in it, other times she will fuss and squirm, and stops as soon as I take her out. To me it feels tight and I find it doesn’t to know if...

    Is it too late to try a K’tan?

    Okay so, I was looking at the super pretty looking Baby K’tan Original Wrap on Amazon just now.. and actually ordered it a few minutes ago. I’ve heard good things. But now that I’m looking around more on here I’m worried it won’t feel good whatsoever with my baby weighing too much (~17 lbs) and...

    What’s the best option for baby wearing after a c-section?

    Had a c-section with my first and wasn’t able to baby wear with my structured carrier due to pressure pushing down on my belly. This time I bought a ring sling to try in case I need to have another c-section. View Poll
