I tried SO MANY and was convinced I was just "a wrap girl" before I tried a lillebaby and all of a sudden I understood why people actually like them, haha. But each brand (tula, lillebaby, kinderpack, beco, ergo, then you get into smaller brands like Madame GooGoo, Lenny lamb, shiny star designs, fidella... the list goes on) fits differently and it just depends on your body and your preferences </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lillebaby-vs-tula#post-2273163 Tue, 25 Aug 2015 19:29:12 +0000 MrsTal 2273163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't compare but I second finding a babywearing group with a lending library and trying first. I had a beco gemini first which people love and I couldn't get a good fit. I lurve my tulas (all 5 of them, what can I say, I have an addiction). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lillebaby-vs-tula#post-2273121 Tue, 25 Aug 2015 18:38:22 +0000 californiadreams 2273121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i can't compare, but i am really happy with my tula </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lillebaby-vs-tula#post-2273118 Tue, 25 Aug 2015 18:35:59 +0000 MrsRcCar 2273118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tried a lilliebaby. I personally couldn't get comfortable. I love my Tula(s). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lillebaby-vs-tula#post-2273048 Tue, 25 Aug 2015 16:37:52 +0000 MamaBehr 2273048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never had a Lillie Baby but I love my Tula(s). I can comfortably carry my 20 month old, 24 lb toddler on my back while being 21 weeks pregnant! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lillebaby-vs-tula#post-2273001 Tue, 25 Aug 2015 15:49:00 +0000 PawPrints 2273001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also have never tried a Tula but love our Lillebaby. The lumbar support is so wonderful and I imagine it will become even more helpful as LO gets heavier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lillebaby-vs-tula#post-2272998 Tue, 25 Aug 2015 15:41:51 +0000 AmandaB8 2272998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely try them on!! Lillebaby was so incredibly uncomfortable for me. I have no idea why. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lillebaby-vs-tula#post-2272892 Tue, 25 Aug 2015 14:16:12 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2272892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: I live in Duluth but there is no Superior around here. Must be a different area. But I can definitely check out the general Atlanta chapter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lillebaby-vs-tula#post-2272889 Tue, 25 Aug 2015 14:12:27 +0000 MamaCate 2272889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have experience with the Tula but got a Lillebaby for my new LO and I love it! He is only six weeks old but I have worn him for errands and outings with my older daughter, and it just feels like he is so secure and I am comfortable. I also have the complete and like how versatile it looks for when he gets bigger!</p> <p>It seems like there is more than one great carrier out there for everyone so you are likely to be happy with whatever you decide. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lillebaby-vs-tula#post-2272882 Tue, 25 Aug 2015 14:07:48 +0000 jlm22 2272882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This probably isn't helpful as I only have a Lillebaby, but I LOVE it. I find it so comfortable and easy to use! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lillebaby-vs-tula#post-2272873 Tue, 25 Aug 2015 14:03:41 +0000 snowjewelz 2272873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.KMM: There is a Babywearing International Chapter in Atlanta.

You can try on other people's carriers at meet ups, borrow from the lending library, etc! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lillebaby-vs-tula#post-2272858 Tue, 25 Aug 2015 13:54:59 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2272858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: any idea how to go about finding such a group? I live in the Atlanta suburbs so it's a big enough city I feel like there has to be one around somewhere. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lillebaby-vs-tula#post-2272590 Tue, 25 Aug 2015 10:44:52 +0000 ShootingStar 2272590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have any experience with the Lillebaby, but I would try to find a Tula you could try out, even if it's just in store and see if you like it. If you do, I'd for that, purely based on resale alone. Once you're done with it you can probably sell it for what you paid if it's in good condition. Or if you don't like it, you can immediately sell it.</p> <p>I regret now that I bought a Beco Soleil instead of a Tula. I thought I would like the Beco more and it was ok until I wanted to back carry a 25 pound toddler. So now I never use it and I'll never get back even half what I paid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lillebaby-vs-tula#post-2272563 Tue, 25 Aug 2015 10:19:39 +0000 snowjewelz 2272563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's so hard to give advice b/c it's different for everyone! Would you be able to find a local babywearing group where you can try both on? I know in my local group, people def love Tula more. It really depends on your built, the baby, and what you find comfortable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lillebaby-vs-tula#post-2272558 Tue, 25 Aug 2015 10:16:52 +0000 MRSJX3 2272558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The Lillebaby is much more comfortable (in my opinion) and it is a lot more diverse as far as ways that the baby can be carried. I love my Lille! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lillebaby-vs-tula#post-2272281 Tue, 25 Aug 2015 07:09:54 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2272281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Now that I know the DD enjoys being worn, I want to get a nicer carrier (we've been using a mei tei).</p> <p>I've narrowed my search down to a Lillebaby Complete or a Tula but now I'm torn. Has anyone here used both and can recommend one over the other? Or tell me pros and cons of each? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-like-being-worn-more-or-less-as-they-got-older#post-2096854 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 14:41:43 +0000 BadgerMom 2096854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsB2012: I can totally see that happening! It does seem like the more I wear him the less he fusses, so maybe I just need to wear him on more of a regular basis. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-like-being-worn-more-or-less-as-they-got-older#post-2096849 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 14:40:34 +0000 BadgerMom 2096849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@catomd00: We tried it once on our last trip, but we ended up boarding the plane shortly after getting him in there, so he wasn't there long. I think I'll start doing a back carry on some walks around the neighborhood. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-like-being-worn-more-or-less-as-they-got-older#post-2096091 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 08:24:52 +0000 artsyfartsy 2096091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I put T in his Ergo the other day at 12 months. I was sorting clothes and found it. We stopped using it a lot around 7 months. He just looked at me like...what are you doing? Not impressed haha. </p> <p>I put him on my front though. I didn't use it enough to practice being able to put him on my back by myself. I'd say he would like that though. We plan on using it this spring when it warms up enough to go hiking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-like-being-worn-more-or-less-as-they-got-older#post-2096048 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 07:29:30 +0000 yin 2096048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO1 was over it by 9 months or so. LO2 still enjoys it when we're out and about at 16 months. He prefers front carry and get upset with back carry though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-like-being-worn-more-or-less-as-they-got-older#post-2096034 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 06:56:24 +0000 Foodnerd81 2096034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with the others that a back carry is fun for them as they get older. I didn't start doing that until c was over a year though- it was just so much easier to get her on my front. Now she comes up and holds onto my shoulders to get on, but she was almost a year and a half before we worked that out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-like-being-worn-more-or-less-as-they-got-older#post-2096030 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 06:40:14 +0000 catomd00 2096030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you tried back carry? It's the only thing dd will tolerate now that she's bigger. I think it is more fun and different so she's cool with it for a while! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-like-being-worn-more-or-less-as-they-got-older#post-2096017 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 03:24:02 +0000 MrsB2012 2096017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's pretty common for them to go through phases of not loving it. I'd keep wearing to keep him used to it.<br /> B is worn all the time, she doesn't tend to fuss about it. Though my husband would take her out of the carrier sometimes and then put her on his shoulders. She started to expect that from him, so she'd start to fuss in the carrier, but only on him. Once he stopped doing that, she stopped trying to get out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-like-being-worn-more-or-less-as-they-got-older#post-2095866 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 21:57:46 +0000 Mrs.ThinMint 2095866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is only 7 months, but he seems like babywearing more and more. He's really into it now that I wear him on my back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-like-being-worn-more-or-less-as-they-got-older#post-2095804 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 21:24:21 +0000 Foodnerd81 2095804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>C is 19 months and had pretty much always like it, from a few weeks old. We have done it almost daily since that's how I walk the dog in the afternoon, so it's just a part of life for now. I'm glad she likes it because it's the only way we've gotten around with so much snow that the stroller couldn't get through. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-like-being-worn-more-or-less-as-they-got-older#post-2095512 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 19:16:49 +0000 blackbird 2095512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 22 month is sooooo over it and has been for awhile. If she's up, she says "walk? Walk?" And points to the ground. I wore her at Christmas when she was sick and today at the airport despite huge tantrums because there was no way to get through the airport otherwise. Sometimes I can get 10 min of wearing out of her, but she's just over it. She wants to walk and hold our hands and that's about it. She's also not a huge stroller fan anymore. Girl wants to walk </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-like-being-worn-more-or-less-as-they-got-older#post-2095381 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 17:57:34 +0000 singingbee 2095381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine is 16 months an. I still wear her. She likes my back so she can see. When she was sick last week, I wore her on my front and that calmed her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-like-being-worn-more-or-less-as-they-got-older#post-2095374 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 17:48:45 +0000 BadgerMom 2095374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 9 months. He loved being worn in the Solly wrap when he was a tiny thing, but once he was out of the sleepy newborn stage and we had to move to the SSC (we have a Beco Gemini), he wasn't so into it (fussy and squirmy). I could never really tell if he didn't like that carrier or he just didn't like being worn. </p> <p>So between about 2 months and now, I haven't really worn him a whole lot. Maybe a couple times a month and when we travel. He tolerates it, but we usually have to use the pacifier and I have to keep moving. It doesn't seem to matter whether he faces in or out. </p> <p>I really enjoy the convenience of wearing him, but I don't know whether to press on or just give up.</p> <p>Anyone else's LO like this? Did they eventually enjoy it? or did you just give up? Any tips/ideas/insights? </p>
