Re: Product Spotlight: Baby Carriers!
I have a Tula and a Lillebaby. Like them both at different stages and ages. I used them A LOT in order to be able to have both hands to walk my dog because it was hard to manage a stroller plus giant dog if she got excited.

I take issue with the baby Bjorn carriers, or other baby danglers as I call them. Your kid should look like they're sitting in a chair in the wrap, knees above hips. If their legs are dangling, you are putting stress on their developing hips.
Also FTMs - make sure you follow the safety recommendations. Their chin should not be tucked to their neck. They should be close enough to your face for you to kiss them. No back carries if they can't sit on their own. The wrap should hit then at the armpits. And the hip thing.

I baby wore 4 of my younger siblings and I liked wovens but the Moby was too difficult for me so I won't try it this time.
