    Most comfortable carrier for sitting and doing housework for long stretches?

    I have a 7 week old who is 4.9kg. She hates to be put down during the day so I’ve got her in my arms pretty much all the time. I really need a light, soft carrier that I can comfortably lounge around the house and do simple chores I n. I’ve tried two different carriers already but I have yet...

    C curve

    Hi all, I see a lot of comments talking about the C curve, refering to babies spine/neck shape. I would love it if some other educators could weigh in as I know some still use it. However, I'm currently doing additional training and we've been advised not to use this term and use "curved J...

    Carrier recommendations for tall, lean husband?

    Our LO is 2 months old, 13 lbs, 24” tall. Husband is 6’3” and has a very lean torso. We have an Ergobaby Omni 360 but it doesn’t seem to work for his body type. We have tried putting the waistband very high (at the bra line), doing a pelvic tuck, loosening/tightening the shoulder straps but no...

    What’s a good forward facing carrier?

    I’m moving to a dense city with no car and will be taking public transit primarily. It’s not stroller friendly so I’ll use a carrier for my 6mo most of the time. With my two older ones I mostly used an Ergobaby but it was a poor fit for me so I’m now considering alternatives. I also have a Happy...

    Do all x strap carriers feel similar to ergo embrace?

    I currently have the ergo embrace but I’m ready to get something more supportive for my 6 month old. I don’t love how the x straps of the embrace make my traps and lower neck area feel tired/sore (even when the x is closer to my shoulder blades). Will a slightly more structured x style carrier...

    Are we using the carrier as a crutch?

    My 7 week old is generally a pretty good sleeper if conditions are optimal. The optimal conditions are basically the carrier, occasionally a chest if she’s just been nursing. I know you can’t form bad habits at this stage, but I’m wondering how much we’re setting ourselves up for failure by...

    Carrier recommendations

    I’m in the UK, so must ship to the UK. Currently 38 weeks pregnant and looking for a soft structured carrier. I’m 4’11, so on the shorter side, and looking for a carrier which will be suitable from newborn onwards. My budget won’t stretch to the artipoppe but I do like the look of theseraphine...

    So overwhelmed with options! Please help

    I have been browsing this forum for a bit, and am even more overwhelmed now! 😅 There seem to be soooo many choices available that I am not sure where to start or where to look. Is there a list somewhere that lists the brands, how they carry, recommendations, etc? I am currently 4m pregnant with...

    How to make baby carrier warmer for winter walks

    Hi! First time posting. I’d like to use my Infantino 4-in-1 Convertible Carrier for winter walks (where I live is quite cold) without having to purchase a new winter coat that wraps around the carrier. I could bundle baby up in layers but would that be enough? Has anyone had success with any...

    Tula Free to Grow v Tula Explore v Ergobaby Omni Breeze v Boba X — for going on walks

    Hi! I’m looking for a SSC that’s more supportive than my Happy Baby OG for going on walks with my 6 month old. Hoping y’all can help :) I’m trying to find the sweet spot on support, breathability, comfort, and looks. I don’t really care about forward facing, I only included the Explore because...

    Advice for layering in cold climates?

    Hi everyone! My husband uses the Baby Björn Original and I use both the original Ergobaby and the BB Tai to carry our 7 kilo little guy. We live in a city and we baby wear every day in all weather (no car). Our city can get to -5 C (in the 20s in Fahrenheit) but is generally around 0 C. My...

    Anyone have a K'tan Breeze?

    Third kid, lots of carriers in my closet, but I hate my Moby and don't like dealing with the Ergo insert so I thought I'd give the K'tan a go this round for the squish stage. Had it all figured out, logged into Buy Buy Baby (yay coupons!) and saw that the Breeze is only $10 more. Kid is coming...

    Baby wearing outdoors in the winter?

    Can everyone give their advice for carrying in a cold climate? (Below 30 F). I was a daily winter walker before I had my baby and am hoping to continue with her in tow. I primarily use an ergo for my longer walks, and bought the all weather carrier. It seems that her body stays warm, maybe I...

    Tips for newborn w K’Tan?

    Hi! I’m new to baby wearing. I have a 8.5 pound 4.5 week old and am looking for any tips you can share to carrying my baby in the k’tan. I’m anxious! I am going to follow “TICKS” but I’m still nervous and am practicing. He grunts in the carrier but I’m hoping he’s just getting used to it. I...

    Please no judgement - just a question

    We have a baby girl who doesn’t like to be put down most days, she’s 9 weeks old. She is 7lbs 11oz (we believe at least, our scale says 7.7lbs). We have a carrier that we got at our baby shower that is the infantino flip 4-in-1 convertible carrier. It shows the facing in narrow seat is for...

    Boba X or Tula FTG??

    FTM here due in January with our baby boy 💙🩵. I’ve completely searched this page plus a few groups on facebook to find a structured carrier to get for baby to grow into. It seems the Boba X and the Tula FTG are both well loved. We plan to use a wrap for immediate newborn stage and are looking...

    Tandem wearing with two wraps

    I'm pregnant with my second and the babies will be 22 months apart. My oldest can walk but isn't the biggest fan of it most of the time yet at 15 months. I live somewhere with great public transportation and I don't drive in this country, and I don't even own a stroller and have no interest in...

    Happy Baby Carriers: schedules and colors, a guide

    I’ve gone deep into the happy baby carrierrabbit hole while trying to snag my first HBC to try with my upcoming baby (3 under 2 means that anything to help free my hands is worth trying!), and given that some of you here may not be members of the Facebook group I thought that sharing some...

    A note from an educator

    I'm done trying to fix misinformation on this sub. It's become exhausting. But I guess I leave you with this. I have been wearing my kids since my 7 year old was 2 weeks old, 3 year old was a preemie and 5 days old, and still wear the 3yo. I became a babywearing educator with Babywearing...
