These are the carriers I have and worn. (Yeah, I have carriers that I purchased but have not used yet (twingo for tandeming) or will not use and will sell...Tula).

I have a Beco Gemini and Soliel that is a Tekhni wrap conversation. I would say it's in the $$ range. $150-180 ish.

I have a few Tekhni woven wraps. They are in the $$ range with them being between $130-$200.

I definitely don't own a woven wrap that is $400+ like Artipoppe or other hand wovens. So I don't think my wrap collection is too bad.

I did start off with an affordable woven Little frog which costs under $100. After going to a mommy convention and touching a Tekhni wrap, I've been dedicated and obsessed with Tekhni. So soft and most of their wrap needs only need a wash and dry to soften. No breaking in needed. I was a bit scared off hearing how some wraps need to be broken in or purchased used. (Used is great but I was a bit scared buying used for my first wrap because I didn't want to buy something and be scammed. Or not ask the right questions and get the wrong wrap.)

My babies are 11 months.

Oh, I do have a Tekhni RS, too. I was shown how to use a RS when the babies were 3 months and heard a RS was great for travel so I bought two Little frog RS $60 each. I ended up not liking it. It wasn't until most recently in the last month or so that I've been liking the RS again. Of course, it happened right before I was thinking of selling my RS stash.

Oh, I do definitely believe in joining your local BWI group and trying out carriers through the lending library. Just so you don't buy a carrier you hate and have to sell it. I don't hate my Tula but I just don't think it compares to the community and softness of the Tekhni woven wraps I own. My Tekhni love slipped in right before my Tula arrived in the mail. Sadly, Tula never had a chance.

I have an Ergo and a Storchenweige woven wrap. I would like a ring sling.

Wrap: $120, Ergo: $40 (bought from HB classifieds)

These pics are from 2015, I am too pregnant to wear her right now. She is almost 3 and I definitely plan to wear my new squish.

A lot of my local mom friends swear by the Solly wrap. It's softer and stretchier than Moby and supposedly easier to use.

1)What kind of carrier is it? Our current stash is as follows:
- 4 standard Tulas (click, aperture, first flight, and warrior)
- 1 toddler Tula (navigator)
-1 size 5 Natibaby woven wrap
- 1 size 6 Natibaby woven wrap
- 1 size 6 Didy Aurora woven wrap (on loan to my SIL)
- 1 size 6 Girasol glacé woven wrap
- 1 size 6 Vanomos Kide Kosmos woven wrap
- 1 size 7 Risaroo Padme
- 1 linen Ring sling
(Too be fair the size 5 Natibaby, didy Aurora, and warrior Tula are all for sale)
2)Where'd you get it? The Tulas were all bought either from Tula baby website, the swaps, or Abby's Lane. The wraps have all come either from the swap, local mommas, or direct from small shops. They were all over $150, with the exception of the ring sling.

3)How old is your LO/s?
N is nearly 4 and still goes up regularly.
E is 2.5 and gets worn nearly daily.
O is due to arrive in October.

@Mrs. Grizzly Bear: We love Babywearing. We even sold off our double stroller and have no desire to use an infant seat for baby O. DH and I both wear often. Although if he figures out how much is in my stash I am gonna be in trouble.

Plus I have a ring sling from the BWI chapter near me that I am borrowing.

I am totally kicking myself for not babywearing more when LO was little. She is 3.5 now and loves her toddler Tula. Which I bought for a trip. I use it so much now. BEST.THING.EVER. Have another little girl due in December and have 2 Standard Tulas waiting for her. One standard Canvas (Delicious) and one WC (Oscha Mehra Mead).

I had a Beco Butterfly and wanted so badly to love it. I just never got a good fit. Tried an ergo too and felt the same. I'm amazed with my toddler tula and 32lb toddler how comfy it is. I never felt that way when she was an infant weighing much less in the ergo or the Beco.

We have

Ring sling
Tula
Toddler tula
Size 6 woven wrap (I think)
Size 4 woven wrap (I think)

Here is lo1 (17 months, 33 pounds) in the size 4, I am almost 35 weeks, we are headed to get some milk from the store.

I have a Moby and an Ergo Performance. I plan on getting a ring sling when we have another LO.

I have a Lillebaby organic blue Celeste SSC, and a Fidella flytai in iced butterfly pine. I got the Lillebaby secondhand from one of the swap groups, and the flytai I ordered new.
