@spaniellove: you should put it on and take a pic and post it here. I bet there's some people on this thread that could help you troubleshoot

@spaniellove: If you join Babywearing 102 or Babywearing Love and Support on Facebook you could get some pointers for how to make it more comfortable. I see pictures every single day of someone asking for help.

@spaniellove: the TULA Love fb group is awesome at fixing fit! They do it all the time. Just upload a pic of your front, side, and back and they'll give pointers.

Does anyone recommend the regular ergonomic Tula baby carrier or the Tula wrap conversion? I have a bad back, and someone suggested I get a Tula over the ergo. I want to try baby wearing for short walks with the dogs, and I'm not opposed to longer time periods if it's comfy on my back.

@dc yoga bee: I have a Tula on the way. I got it because with LO #1, we had basic Baby Bjorns. I hated mine. I researched it and saw that Tulas are comfy and above standard for baby carriers.

@cascademom: Did you get the regular ergonomic one or the wrap conversion. It doesn't look like they're sold in person near me, so I'd have to order blindly online!

@dc yoga bee: the wrap conversions are softer / floppier, but also WAY more expensive. They're gorgeous, but I think it's a preference thing. I've read people say that if you want the look of a WC but the support of a canvas, you should get a half WC or a semi WC (where the wrap is only on the front and straps - half; or the front only - semi). The canvas is stiffer and more supportive.
If KPs are better, how do you buy them? I've heard they sell out instantly when they stock, but I haven't even researched where they stock.

@dc yoga bee: I got a regular infant carrier with an infant insert. I tried a wrap with LO and didn't care for it. I knew that I needed a sturdy carrier since we'll be managing LO #1 during warm summer months with LO #2 in tow. Having a good baby carrier made sense to me.

@ballerinabee: @cascademom: Thanks for the insight. What is a KP? I definitely need the support with my back. Which print did you get @cascademom?!?

@dc yoga bee: I got the Billow print (black background with white waves or whatever it is). I debated on the grey chevron one, but decided against it.

@cascademom: yikes a lot of this is out of stock on the website. I like the bliss bouquet. Their facebook has people complaining of them selling out within 10 minutes!

@dc yoga bee: KP is a KinderPack. I've heard they're awesome, and cooler in the hot summers (like we have in Balt/DC), so I'm on the look out for one.
I have a Tula problem. I own the Dynasty Standard size and have a Toddler Foxy and Standard Beaker coming to me. I'm hoping to trade the Beaker for a Trig. (names are all prints). Love!

@ballerinabee: those are all super cute!! Can you buy them other than on Tula's website or Abby's Lane?

@dc yoga bee: The only difference between them is the fabric. The regular ones are canvas and fabric. The wrap conversions are made from woven fabrics that can get pretty pricey. They are basically the same, just one version is fancier.
pomelo / 5628 posts
@dc yoga bee: There is a Tula buy/sell/trade on Facebook. Some Tula's sell for face value, if they are more popular they go for above it. I see Bliss Bouquet on there a lot, just not sure of the price.

@dc yoga bee: I waited too long to get mine with the prints selling out. Grey chevron and a few others tend to stay on there. I had a discussion with DH about the carrier. I bought it after our discussion when most of the prints were gone.

@dc yoga bee: you can buy them on lots of websites. The group Tula Love on FB has this list of retailers (be careful about the foreign ones - Tula has contracts with a lot of companies that states they can only ship within their own country, so check for that before you order.

WC's are more expensive and nearly impossible to get, unless you don't mind paying a large mark up on the BST facebook page. The only way to get one is to fight the thousands of other people on stocking days...I've been trying for months!
I have a standard canvas and LOVEEEEEEEEEEEE it. So freaking comfy. I think you'd be fine getting a canvas.

@Littlebit: Agree with everything you said there. I've been trying for months to get a WC and have yet to score I love my canvas one though!

@Littlebit: @ValentineMommy: Glad that you guys love the canvas one since I'm waiting for mine to arrive!
