We got s neutral canvas gray one for this reason.

It was nice not to have to adjust the carrier since we each had our own (although on the rare occasion she goes to daycare and someone different picks up/drops off , we still have to adjust a carrier). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/soft-structured-carrier-for-dad-to-use#post-2377686 Fri, 04 Dec 2015 00:04:33 +0000 Mrs.Pinecone316 2377686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DH loves the Ergo 360 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/soft-structured-carrier-for-dad-to-use#post-2377461 Thu, 03 Dec 2015 20:30:44 +0000 LindsayLou 2377461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for the responses and suggestions everyone! I'm thinking that picking up a used ergo or beco is probably my best bet. It's not just that he would prefer something in gender neutral colors, it's that he wants something as unobtrusive and simple as possible--no prints, no bells and whistles. I think he's more likely to babywear on hikes, but we also walk every day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/soft-structured-carrier-for-dad-to-use#post-2377418 Thu, 03 Dec 2015 19:46:08 +0000 Finfan 2377418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a classic Ergo (mine) and a performance (his). I usually wore LO1 but he would sometimes as well. We just left the carriers in our cars since we live in the boonies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/soft-structured-carrier-for-dad-to-use#post-2377396 Thu, 03 Dec 2015 19:26:12 +0000 sera_87 2377396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>SO has his own Tula patterns - dynasty in toddler and rockets in standard.

Onya needs more love. It's got one of the widest seats, it's super sturdy, and comfy/ergonomic. I used to use it to put LO to sleep for naps! My chunky baby started outgrowing the ergo by 6 or 7 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/soft-structured-carrier-for-dad-to-use#post-2377265 Thu, 03 Dec 2015 16:41:07 +0000 jedeve 2377265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MoonMoon: ditto!! Haha I think we are the only Onya users on here. </p> <p>My dh loves our Onya. I think it's best for bigger/taller/older kids. It's designed for hiking, so it's a little bigger than something like an ergo. We both think it's way better than ergo. I wear my one year old in it often! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/soft-structured-carrier-for-dad-to-use#post-2377264 Thu, 03 Dec 2015 16:41:05 +0000 MrsRcCar 2377264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH wears in any of our Tulas. To be honest we have boyish/gender neutral prints. He has told me that if we have a girl he will be more then happy to wear whatever girly carrier I choose. </p> [attach=2880/15/nysxkh.450x600.DSC00655.JPG] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/soft-structured-carrier-for-dad-to-use#post-2377262 Thu, 03 Dec 2015 16:40:46 +0000 sleepybear 2377262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you just want him to babywear for hikes? We have a Deuter hiking baby-wearing backpack and DH loves it (he went through a phase where he insisted on carrying DS in it for normal walks instead of the stroller). I'm really short so I prefer my Lillebaby, but the Deuter is pretty comfortable and had a little backpack area for snacks/diapers/whatever you bring on hikes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/soft-structured-carrier-for-dad-to-use#post-2377260 Thu, 03 Dec 2015 16:39:50 +0000 tofuwad 2377260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DH also uses the Ergo 360. I use it as well and I think it works well for both of us. I'm just over 5ft and my husband is over 6ft and I like that we can both use the same carrier. We used it with the infant insert when DD was wee and it worked well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/soft-structured-carrier-for-dad-to-use#post-2377257 Thu, 03 Dec 2015 16:38:39 +0000 MoonMoon 2377257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a broken record on this, but DH and I have both loved loved loved our Onya since LO was about 9 months old. It's easily adjustable so we can share one, and it's super comfy. I just wore my pretty big and tall son last week, for over an hour in a museum. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/soft-structured-carrier-for-dad-to-use#post-2377256 Thu, 03 Dec 2015 16:38:17 +0000 kitty 2377256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a blue Tula so my DH would wear it. He finds the wrap a bit annoying to put on too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/soft-structured-carrier-for-dad-to-use#post-2377247 Thu, 03 Dec 2015 16:35:34 +0000 snowjewelz 2377247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's why all my carriers are pretty neutral! He has worn DD in the Ergo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/soft-structured-carrier-for-dad-to-use#post-2377246 Thu, 03 Dec 2015 16:35:31 +0000 Mrs. Microscope 2377246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DH swears by our Ergo 360! We have the infant insert too, and he uses it all the time </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/soft-structured-carrier-for-dad-to-use#post-2377244 Thu, 03 Dec 2015 16:34:28 +0000 Foodnerd81 2377244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My Dh liked our beco Gemini, but I purposely had let him choose the pattern. Does he like wearing her in the Tula aside from the color? You could probably find a used ergo pretty cheap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/soft-structured-carrier-for-dad-to-use#post-2377237 Thu, 03 Dec 2015 16:24:29 +0000 LindsayLou 2377237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does your SO babywear? If so what do they use? </p> <p>I babywear my 3 month old every day. We've used a moby, mei tai, woven wrap, ring sling, and tula. She currently likes being in the ring sling, mei tai, and tula. Problem is, my husband doesn't want to use any sort of wrap or mei tai, doesn't find the ring sling comfortable, and won't wear my purple tula. </p> <p>He'd like to try babywearing. And I'd like him to babywear so I'm not the only one carrying the kiddo on hikes. I don't want to spend a ton, since he may very well not be a huge fan. But I may just end up getting a more neutral tula and selling my plum posy.</p> <p>Any recommendations? </p>
