I got the ergo for DH since I heard it better for a bigger build. He really likes the Ergo. </p> <p>I have also tried the Ktan and the Moby. You can get these used for $20 at a consignment sale. </p> <p>I do want to try the Tula but I think I'll borrow it first before I buy. Plus, I have to get that infant insert or wait until they are 15 lbs to use it without the insert. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-carrier-1#post-2332779 Sun, 25 Oct 2015 01:40:18 +0000 gracecat 2332779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My friend who is big into baby carrying and goes to baby wearing meet ups still swears by the Ergo. I used the Moby in winter until baby turned about 3 months then switched to the Ergo for my back and shoulders. That lasted longest for me until baby turned 2+ years old and I stopped carrying. I have heard great things about Tula too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-carrier-1#post-2332752 Sat, 24 Oct 2015 23:38:23 +0000 sorrycharlie 2332752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The Lillebaby has amazing lumbar support! I prefer it a million times over my ergo </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-carrier-1#post-2332744 Sat, 24 Oct 2015 23:24:02 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 2332744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ergo was great for me until LO was bigger, then I used a toddler Tula which is great. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-carrier-1#post-2332736 Sat, 24 Oct 2015 22:54:44 +0000 Anagram 2332736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a Lillebaby airflow and really like it. They just released several new cute prints that will be for sale in December. And they released a whole new carrier (the Essentials) that's only $99.</p> <p>The Completes are $129-$169 depending on the fabric and print.</p> <p>The Completes can ergonomically do out and inward front carries, hip carries, and back carries---and NO infant insert is needed. It works from 7 lbs up.</p> <p>The new Essentials only does inward front carry and back carry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-carrier-1#post-2332732 Sat, 24 Oct 2015 22:45:40 +0000 Mrs. Microscope 2332732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>K'tan active is great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-carrier-1#post-2332721 Sat, 24 Oct 2015 22:17:43 +0000 jetsa 2332721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm with @MamaCate: try lillebaby. 7-45 lbs an easy soft structured carrier </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-carrier-1#post-2332718 Sat, 24 Oct 2015 22:06:42 +0000 MamaCate 2332718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got the Lillebaby complete for LO2 and have been really happy so far! (He is only 3 months though.). There are lots of different options and LO fit really early. It is how I do all my grocery shopping these days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-carrier-1#post-2332691 Sat, 24 Oct 2015 20:33:44 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2332691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Try on if you can! But we LOVE our Tula- I wear my toddler and my newborn in the same carrier (at different times haha). But I've also tried a KTan, a Moby wrap and a mei tai, and really like the Moby for tiny babies. </p> <p>I know tons of people are happy with the Ergo- it all depends on fit for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-carrier-1#post-2332688 Sat, 24 Oct 2015 20:30:04 +0000 Mrsbells 2332688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used ergo sport and loved it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-carrier-1#post-2332686 Sat, 24 Oct 2015 20:29:14 +0000 buttermilk 2332686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love our Tula and so does DH. He wears it more than I do. We got a neutral gray color. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-carrier-1#post-2332657 Sat, 24 Oct 2015 19:36:31 +0000 birdofafeather 2332657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a solly wrap ($60) for DD2, set to arrive soon and loved my boba 3G (they have new ones now). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-carrier-1#post-2332653 Sat, 24 Oct 2015 19:31:14 +0000 MrsTal 2332653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladybee: I second trying on before you buy. I bought a beco gemini after a ton of research and ended up hating the fit. I sold it and bought a tula and love it! It's all about finding something that's the right fit for you. Hopefully your local baby wearing group has a lending library so you can try some stuff out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-carrier-1#post-2332634 Sat, 24 Oct 2015 18:42:23 +0000 MrsRcCar 2332634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladybee: Babhwearing International has chapters all over! The dues are $30 for the year and would be a great option to try things on and really decide what you like. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-carrier-1#post-2332632 Sat, 24 Oct 2015 18:27:51 +0000 ladybee 2332632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sera_87: @JCCovi: What's another $25 for comfort? I'll def. look into them! thanks!</p> <p>@Banana330: I didn't know there were baby wearing groups. A quick google search and I found one. Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-carrier-1#post-2332626 Sat, 24 Oct 2015 18:15:50 +0000 JCCovi 2332626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I second Tula, it's worth the extra to get to $150. It was the most comfortable of any of the ones I tried and we use a Tula and a toddler Tula and love them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-carrier-1#post-2332623 Sat, 24 Oct 2015 18:12:01 +0000 Banana330 2332623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely try on and see what's comfortable for you. </p> <p>Beco Gemini you can cross the straps in the back and face the baby forward. </p> <p>See if there's a local baby wearing group in your area. They are really friendly and helpful at getting a good fit and usually have carriers they loan out for you to try for a month or so. Great way to see what you like. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-carrier-1#post-2332622 Sat, 24 Oct 2015 18:09:31 +0000 sera_87 2332622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you bump that up to 150, Tula is a great choice. Other great ones are Lenny lamb, beco, onya, kinderpack, Ergo &amp; lillebaby</p> <p>Find your local baby wearing store and go try on some carriers to see what your best fit is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-carrier-1#post-2332618 Sat, 24 Oct 2015 17:57:12 +0000 ladybee 2332618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never considered carrying DS1 but with DS2 on the way, I'd like to give it a try. I know NOTHING about baby carriers. A friend has the ergo infant insert she said I can use so thats a plus. I have a bad back so I want something that won't be too hard on me and comfortable for baby.</p> <p>I'd like not to spend more than $100-$125. Any recommendations? </p>
