    Desperate to find a good carrier r/babywearing

    I am desperate, and I mean absolutely desperate to find a good carrier. The price tag isn’t even an issue at this point because I’m really that desperate. Baby is 3 months, ~15lb. Solly wrap has been great but needed something more as she grows. I have a Tula explore and don’t love it, way too...

    Best Carrier?

    Hello friends, I have a 16 lb 6 month old, and he absolutely hates the Tula carrier we have. I am tempted to buy an Artipoppe because of it’s famed comfort, support, and ease? But from different comments I’ve sifted through, some say it’s not any more comfortable than others? Also that they...

    Advice before buying my first woven wrap?

    Hi! TL DR: proficient newbie wondering if I should get a size 5 or 6, and asking for recommendations about favrics brands and places to buy. I've been carrying with a borrowed wrap for the last 5 months or so. It's a size 5 mokosh, pretty sure it's 100% cotton and quite thick - I don't...

    Cross straps vs. H straps

    Hi all! I really like my Happy Baby OG carrier. I saw that Happy Baby will be releasing a new carrier soon that can be cross strap and h strap. I've seen great reviews of the Hope and Plum Lark with cross straps, but I've never tried a cross straps carrier. Are they more comfortable? How is the...

    Summer carriers

    Any experience with naked panda and/or aloha&light? I love their designs and A&L is dropping a new collection soon, but is it worth the $$$? I rented a NPD onbuhimo to test before summer but I cannot figure it out or get comfy in it, my 3 month old HATES it. I love my Tula FTG but I need...

    What should baby be wearing?

    My son is 8 weeks old today and he’s about 60cm and 4.5kg. I’ve been putting him in the Boba wrap at home or indoors and it’s been great. My sister gifted us an artipoppe also. I want to start going for walks with the carrier or even just for meeting people outdoors (we’re not meeting anyone...

    Wrap recommendation for baby #2

    Hi! Looking to try for number 2 soon. I used the Baby K’Tan with my first and found it pretty simple to use once baby had good head control. I lost it, though, so now I’m in the market for something new. Here are the things I liked about the Baby K’Tan: -soft material -very snug fit that...

    A couple baby wearing questions…

    My baby always spits up a lot when I first put him in the carrier. Like, enough that I have to take him out and change both of our outfits every time. Is this normal? How long does it usually take for your baby to settle and fall asleep in the carrier? Mine can vary anywhere from like 3 minutes...

    Question about back-carrying a younger baby

    Hi there, First-time mom here! I am interested in learning how to back-carry my 11-week old. I’m guessing it will be a few weeks before I actually attempt this. Front-carries (I have a boba and bought an old Bjorn prior to knowing about the hip dysplacia issue) hurt my back after a while...

    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...
