Tula

I've made up my mind.  I want a Tula carrier.

Do I go with Arrows or Preppy?

Either one really. I'm getting a little tired of the prepster Tula though, but that is probably due to the fact that everyone I know has one because it's Seahawks colors.

I'd get the arrows one! Chevron is so trendy. I actually just got the "Little Rascals" one a few weeks ago and it's so pretty.

I'd go with arrows too.  The chevron one is super cute, but chevron is a trend.  It'll come and go, then your tula would be dated.  The arrows are neutral and will go with anything and not be dated in a few months/years.

yup, arrows. the chevron is too bright and bold for a general use thing.

Blasphemy. My whole life is bright a bold.

I have prepster and love it. I wanted one that was darker and wouldn't show as much dirt since it gets heavy usage. But I don't think you can go wrong with either one.

My Tula is the grey chevron but the colours look identical to the arrows one. It is a very nice grey and I love it!

Arrows! I might get a toddler size soon and arrows will be my first pick.

I would love both. Arrows is a bit different though and I like it

Oh my goodness- I love Arrows! Question: can anyone tell me why Tulas are so popular?? I love my Moby and I have an Ergo (but haven't used it yet). I'm afraid I'm going to want a Tula now! What makes it stand out??

The fit. I'm very petite and I could not get my ergo to adjust small enough to get a good back carry.

I tried on a Tula and got a good fit in about 5 minutes.

I still like wraps, but they aren't easy to master in parking lots. And I always end up with the edges on the ground.

Good to know!

I had a Beco Gemini from 2 months to around 21 months that I loved. I got a great fit, and it was easy to use.  Then DS2 got too big to fit in it anymore.  Beco doesn't make a toddler size, that I know of, so I sort of stumbled across the toddler Tula's.  Love.  They have less structure to them than an Ergo/Beco/Boba, which makes them more snugly, but also easier to get a good fit with.  

My only complaint is that the clip on the waist strap has this little flap of material under it that always gets stuck in the clip.  I've gotten used to holding it out of the way when I fasten the clip now, but at first it was really annoying because I was afraid I'd get it caught and not realize it and then have the clip come undone while I was babywearing. Other than than that, I love the quality, the print, the fit, pretty much everything about it.

I used a K'tan when R was small, then moved to an Ergo, which has been great. But I'm fairly petite and it wasn't always comfortable. I'd heard that it would be hard to do a back carry with it. I tried a Tula and I love it. R is still too small for a back carry, but I'm looking forward to trying it. I do still like my ergo for front carries and use it quite a bit but mostly around the house. When going out I use the Tula.

Just ordered from the Tula site. Now Abby's Lane had it.

See, I'm boring. I sold my wrap conversion Tula and replaced it with a plain Sugar Plum Tula. However, I got custom accessories for it made out KoKaDi Merlin stars wrap and now it's not just a plain purple canvas Tula. I freaking love my Tula.
