I really wanted to love the Tula because their prints are so awesome, but i could not get on board. It felt too boxy on me and I'm a taller woman, so I usually have room to spare, but I just couldn't get it comfy. For me, its LILLEbaby all the way (www.lillebaby.com) It's a SSC like a Tula, but can be worn 6 different ways and is a little less expensive! Plus, there's no newborn insert needed and it goes up to 45lbs. I can still wear my 3 year old AND my 16 month old. I don't feel the "need" to upgrade to a "toddler" specific carrier. Hope that helps!
If you can find a local retailer, I'd try one on. The LILLEbaby straps can also criss-cross. My cousin is 5'0" and loves crossing the straps to make it tighter for her. Good luck mama!
Great information @kp756 thank you! I'm quite short at 5'2 so that might be the deal breaker for me.
I'm 5' 3" and LOVE the Lillebaby. @kp756 already covered the amazingness of the complete, but I use it with my now 10 month old and my almost 4 year old. It's the perfect carrier-- such a better value.
