Show Off Your Baby Wearing!

We've had quite a few posts asking about different baby carriers so I know you're out there! Who else is baby wearing and loving it?! Show off your action shots and let us know what you use :)

I used a stretchy Boba wrap when LO was under 16lbs. Now I alternate between a Tula and a Sankura ring sling. I've also recently borrowed a woven wrap and have been experimenting with that!

  • we love our moby but can't wait to get a Tula or Boba carrier!
  • On a hike this week with the Bjorn my cousin gifted me. Wish I had pics of my others, I have a moby, tula, and ring sling. Will be flying Saturday with only carriers for baby boy, let's hope it goes as smoothly as our hike!

    You guys make it look so easy! I bought a Moby wrap but I'm having such issues keeping the fabric flat to wrap it properly. Any tips? I still haven't managed to use it. Also, do you untie it completely if you get in the car for example? I see women wearing them in stores but I can't imagine trying to tie it from the beginning in the parking lot at each stop

  • guerrinl Where did you get that hoodie for the carrier?! I'm trying to find one but can't seem to find any!!
  • @thinkpink101 I leave mine tied when I get in the car if I'm going multiple places but I do sometimes retie it at the next stop as it stretches out while she's in it. I do often tie it for the first time though in a parking lot unless I leave the house knowing I will be wearing her soon. Just be careful it's not in a puddle or anything. I watched some YouTube videos and practiced a few times and now it's really easy.

    Etsy! It was my present to myself before I had LO. The vendor is GoFutureWithLove they're based out of Germany. All custom made and super friendly. I'm in love with mine and use it a ton so I feel like it was money well spent. Oh and I used it with an Ergo carrier.
  • I'm so jealous of you all! I've given up on the idea of baby wearing. My son is just too big and I have so much back pain already. He hates the moby because he arms aren't free and that's the only one where it doesn't hurt my back :( I was going to ask for the ergo for Christmas but since he's already 18 1/2 lbs there's really no point because with the speed of how much he's growing, he's just going to grow out of it too soon


  • @xJKxOR I really love it. I have one made with sweatshirt material. I thought I wanted fleece but changed my mind and I'm glad I did! I live up north and it is starting to get pretty cold and snowy. I used it in milder temperatures and also at a very snowy event recently. We were both very warm with appropriate layers underneath. I also like that it is a 3 in 1 and I use it as just a regular jacket/hoodie quite a bit as well (it also has let out zips so it can be used as maternity.) Its super warm and comfy and I think definitely worth the money!
    I have used it with the k'tan and a bjorn. I prefer the k'tan with it. The back of the bjorn comes up so high that it interferes with the hood a bit.
    Picture is from the winter lights event we went to!
  • I am having a dramatic night with the SIL, this post was amazing for a cheer up! My LO's smiling face tonight, plus all these smiling faces!!!!!
  • I love my Ktan! I also have an ergo but I haven't been able to figure out getting it on and off by myself with the baby.
  • @stumpty I have a boba and an ergo 360 and I too can't figure out how to put on my ergo myself. I need DH to hook and unhook it for me.

  • Love my Beco Gemni and my Sakura Bloom RS. Getting another RS for Christmas, and hopefully my Lenny Lamb after I go back to work!





  • Love wearing this little guy around! I don't often do outside because it's still 85 degrees here in Florida, but it was great for our grocery shopping trip this morning :)

    Loooove being part of the woven cult.  Beware: it's addictive!
    ETA grammar. :blush: 
  • @guerrinl - That picture is so cute!!!
  • Find the baby!
    I think she was two weeks old in that picture. It was cold and it rained but we still wanted to go outside to walk the dog.
    I also just purchased this  sweatshirt  because its getting colder and I dont want to break the bank on the Vivala... the $30 shipping was just too much for me :( . I hope the one I got is good!

  • @hakettler that hair!!!!!! I love it!
  • I'm loving these posts!! I love baby wearing and so does my son! He doesn't like the car seat or stroller so baby wearing had been a lifesaver ❤️
    I used the Ktan when he was a newborn, as well as the Infantino Mei Tei. Lately I've been using an Infantino 4 way (I think is the name??). I don't care for the Bjorn at all and don't use it. I'm shocked to find my two favorite carriers are by far the cheapest, both Infantinos from Amazon.





  • When he was much younger we loved our ho
    bs wrap, but these days our ring sling is our absolute favorite.
  • @hollidar can I ask why you are no longer using the infantino mei tai?
  • @SunSilverfox and expensive! lol!

    Love my woven Tula. Its so soft but yet so stable and secure at the same time. I used my ring sling for like a month and then just fell in love with wrapping :) done with the sling forever.

    This is from a couple months back, haven't taken any recent pics while wearing him...

    Only bc his bottom isn't wide enough yet. At first I put him in like a frog (when he was 4-8 weeks) but he doesn't like being scrunched up like that anymore. As soon as he gets a little bigger, I'll be able to let his legs hang out both sides. So I definitely will use it again bc I really like it. I've gifted it to friends as well. The other Infantino I have, the 4 way actually has snaps where I could narrow the part for his bottom so it's great for this in between size. Hope that helps!

    I love that Ring Sling! I think I'd like to try one, what kind is it? It's overwhelming bc there are so many!'

    @hollidar I've tried the Sakura bloom classic sling and fell in love the second I put baby in it . I've asked for it for Christmas as its a bit pricey but so worth it.

    I have the boba and Bjorn but prefer the sling Because of the ease of using and support
  • I have a ktan and a bjorn and I love them, but can you guys do housework while wearing them? I can't cook while wearing him because I'm scared of using the knife and cooking splatter, and doing laundry or using the dishwasher is a lot of bending over. I *love* wearing my boy but feel short on opportunities.

    I feel this same way. I can fold and put away clothes or wear her while shopping for a bit, but otherwise I can't find a way to be productive. Sometimes I just wear her to calm her, but I sort of feel like I'm missing something. Is there a "trick" I'm missing?

  • @dmbfan46835 - You're right, they are expensive, but oh so delicious.  :wink:  Have you tried any yet aside from your Tula?  I just bought my first woolie and it is amaaaaaazing!
  • @SunSilverfox. Is it sooo soft?!!

    And I have! I went to a baby wearing meeting in July with a girlfriend and tried a bunch of styles and patterns. I'm thinking a girasol size 6 next. So torn tho! Who'd have thought there were so many options?! I'm so glad there are groups to help with this sort of thing :)
