All carriers listed in that group are under $100 and there are tons of different types/styles from new to well loved. Lots of Ergos in there two.</p> <p>My votes would be a Tula (standard or toddler depending on LO's size), but they are going to be at least $150/170 for a new canvas or even for a used one....sometimes people like to PIF and will offer them up in the above FB group, but they go quick! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-wearers#post-2245163 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 13:57:58 +0000 pmerr 2245163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: I've always been a little nervous about the wraps. I have a k'tan and loved it when he was small. I haven't tried recently, but I think I can only use the hip position on that one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-wearers#post-2245161 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 13:56:14 +0000 pmerr 2245161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@danda: I think the closest is about an hour and a half a way, just doing a quick google.</p> <p>@Alivoo01: @MoonMoon: Thanks!</p> <p>@yoursilverlining: @avivoca: I'll check out the consignment shops &amp; the FB group I'm part of. I have no clue why I didn't think to look there. I am just a little nervous about getting used from a consignment shop as I don't know exactly what I'm getting (model, weight limit, pieces missing). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-wearers#post-2245143 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 13:40:58 +0000 avivoca 2245143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use my Ergo. I bought mine used on Hellobee for $40. You can sometimes find them under $100 at Target, but it's not often. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-wearers#post-2245130 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 13:30:38 +0000 MoonMoon 2245130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We still use our Onya to carry LO (25 months, 30 lbs) on our backs, but it is over $100. LO is very comfortable in it, though, and I believe the weight limit is 45 lbs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-wearers#post-2245119 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 13:17:23 +0000 danda 2245119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Building off of @Alivoo01: post - the Ergo could work but wouldn't be super comfy for a kiddo that big...we upgraded to a toddler carrier when my daughter was 14 months because she would lean away from us in the short Ergo panel. The toddler carriers I'm most familiar with would be well above your budget...I'm thinking of Beco toddler, Tula toddler, or Kinderpack standard or toddler. If there is a Babywearing International near you I suggest looking into that...not sure how it varies by area, but membership in my local one is $30 per year and gives you ability to check out one carrier per month (due back the next month) so you could see what works at meetings and its a low budget way to borrow what works best. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-wearers#post-2245113 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 13:14:58 +0000 yoursilverlining 2245113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the toddler Tula and really like it, but it's over $100 </p> <p>What about wraps? Could you find any at a consignment shop or resale FB group under $100? </p> <p>I’ve also used my ring sling with my toddler, but it’s really not as comfortable as the Tula. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-wearers#post-2245108 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 13:11:51 +0000 Alivoo01 2245108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the Ergo (love it!!) and can be used up to 45lbs! It's over $100 though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-wearers#post-2245066 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 12:36:05 +0000 pmerr 2245066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm looking for a carrier to carry my 22month old in. We have a k'tan, and really didn't wear it too much when he was younger, as we didn't get out and do too much. There are many times where DS wants to be carried, but I would like my hands free. Even if it's when I'm cooking dinner, I'd like to try one out! I would do the k'tan, but I think that would only really work using the hip carry, and I'm worried that wouldn't really hold him too well if he gets wiggly.</p> <p>We don't really do things too often, but it would be a nice option to have. I'd be looking for a decent price (under $100, and DH would definitely find that too high to spend on something we really don't "need"), and I know that Boba is around that price, but don't know of any other options.</p> <p>We don't have a babywearing group around me (that I can find) so I can't talk to anyone there to try some out, other than going to BBB or BRU. </p>
