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. Also is this your local town??

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/toddler-tula-question#post-2140182 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 18:37:11 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2140182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BadgerMom: I saw one posted on a B/S/T page (standard prism) for $210, but I wonder if it's going up soon because it was discontinued? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-tula-question#post-2139779 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 11:36:15 +0000 Littlebit 2139779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BadgerMom: You should be able to get at least what you paid for it, so you won't be losing any money on it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-tula-question#post-2139771 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 11:32:43 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 2139771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BadgerMom: They have a ton of admins and it's usually pretty fast. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-tula-question#post-2139747 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 11:18:20 +0000 BadgerMom 2139747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Green Grass: Cool! Actually I think I just requested to join that group. Does it usually take a while to get approved into a closed group like that? Do I need to do anything else but request and invite? Sorry for the dumb questions, I'm new to the whole fb group thing. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-tula-question#post-2139742 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 11:12:32 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 2139742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BadgerMom: there's a tula market value FB group that will have an album where you can check </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-tula-question#post-2139709 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 10:47:57 +0000 BadgerMom 2139709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks! Does anyone know the current resale value on a standard prism, so I can get a possible idea of how much I can get for it if I need to upgrade sooner than later? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-tula-question#post-2139702 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 10:41:14 +0000 QBbride 2139702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 22 month old is 24 lbs, 32ish inches and still fits in a standard. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-tula-question#post-2139697 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 10:37:06 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 2139697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's definitely both height and weight. I've used one with my tiny two year old and it works, there's just some extra fabric at the bottom. Almost like a need a booster like when he was an infant. It's so much more comfortable for back carry than the Ergo though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-tula-question#post-2139691 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 10:32:18 +0000 avivoca 2139691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think they also have the minimum weight as 25 pounds. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-tula-question#post-2139685 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 10:30:28 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2139685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's based on length. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-tula-question#post-2139682 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 10:27:37 +0000 BadgerMom 2139682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskc: Good to know about your LO! Do you think it has more to do with height or weight? I'm asking because if he continues growing like he has been he'll fit into 2T pants lengthwise WAY before they actually fit him around the waist. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-tula-question#post-2139677 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 10:23:19 +0000 mrskc 2139677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think they say when they can fit into 2T pants, you can move to toddler. I would get a standard. I think a toddler would be way too big at this point. I can fit my 2 year old son in a standard still. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-tula-question#post-2139670 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 10:19:22 +0000 BadgerMom 2139670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We currently have a Beco Gemini which is still working for us but getting less and less comfy as LO gets bigger. LO was 19lbs and 30" at his 9 month appointment a month or so ago.</p> <p>What height/weight was your LO when you switched to a toddler tula? I don't really want to buy a standard just to have to upgrade in the near future.</p> <p>Thinking about getting the prism for my little dude :happy: </p>
