I made my mind up after using my ergo at the grocery shop today, and I strained my lower back just carrying my squirmy 4 month old. Looks like I'll be ebaying it asap! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/convince-me-tula-or-boba-4g#post-2510867 Wed, 30 Mar 2016 19:39:50 +0000 YouGotMe 2510867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This may not help you since I bought mine when my baby was much younger... </p> <p>I have a boba 4G it won me over because I needed something with an infant insert. The Tula insert was more money and hard to come by at the time. </p> <p>I find it fits my body better than other carriers I tried. </p> <p>Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/convince-me-tula-or-boba-4g#post-2510817 Wed, 30 Mar 2016 18:26:11 +0000 FannyMae 2510817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: yeah the ergo has that back pocket thing which I barely ever used as it seems uncomfy for baby to have hard things jammed up against their back.</p> <p>hmmmm.... might have to keep scouring online, see if there are any local deals about before I take the plunge! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/convince-me-tula-or-boba-4g#post-2510195 Wed, 30 Mar 2016 08:31:20 +0000 Happygal 2510195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have really liked our Boba 4G. I used the integrated seat booster thing for awhile. It doesn't seem to be as padded as the Tula, and I sometimes wish it had a bigger pocket area, although I don't know if I would put my car keys in an area directly against a babies back anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/convince-me-tula-or-boba-4g#post-2510174 Wed, 30 Mar 2016 08:16:37 +0000 snowjewelz 2510174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At first DD struggled in the carrier too; so I would try it a couple more times during diff times of the day! </p> <p>I love my Ergo and Tula! Never tried a Boba 4G. Also, Tula's have pretty good resale value so when you need toddler size you can often sell yours for a good price still. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/convince-me-tula-or-boba-4g#post-2510109 Wed, 30 Mar 2016 07:16:14 +0000 FannyMae 2510109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A friend gave me the details of a place where I can go to try both on, which I plan on doing once I get some spare time. </p> <p>The size of both was what I was concerned about - baby is 4 months old at the moment, but quite big for her age. The Tula looks like it has a higher back on it which might bother her at this age, but for nicely when she is bigger and isn't right up behind her head. The boba looks a bit lower at the back which might let her see better when she turns her head. </p> <p>On the flip side, could keep the ergo for when she is older as it fit DD1 when she was 12 months and sized like a 2 year old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/convince-me-tula-or-boba-4g#post-2510106 Wed, 30 Mar 2016 07:12:32 +0000 Cole 2510106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This link is pretty cool, it compares the boba, tula and ergo. I am not sure what the differences between the 3 and 4 are though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/convince-me-tula-or-boba-4g#post-2510096 Wed, 30 Mar 2016 07:06:29 +0000 Cole 2510096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This really isn't going to help you much but you should try them on. The first time ib tried the tula ib think my lo was a little too small for me to be comfortable. I loved the boba at that point. Now my daughter is a young toddler and the tula is soooo much more comfortable and still fits my daughter well whereas the boba is starting to be a bit small and doesn't hit her from knee to knee anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/convince-me-tula-or-boba-4g#post-2510046 Wed, 30 Mar 2016 05:32:17 +0000 FannyMae 2510046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Reading through the other thread about how many carriers you have, I'm on the fence about buying a new carrier and selling my Ergo.</p> <p>Baby currently LOVES being in the Boba wrap, but is getting too big/heavy for it and I want to swap her into a carrier sooner rather than later. She struggles against the Ergo, so I'm thinking of trying either the Tula or Boba 4G.</p> <p>Convince me either way! Both are close in price ($180-200 AUD), so its a matter of pros vs cons. </p>
