![]() ![]() ![]() Líllébaby also sells a belt extender for this carrier, which means it can work for an additional subset of body types. I think this may be an issue of seat width (and needing to adapt the seat as your child grows) my daughter, a 6-month-old, 13-pound kiddo, seemed to like all the configurations just fine. Some customers state in reviews that their baby appreciated the inward front-carry options, but they didn’t like the Líllébaby as much once they turned the baby around or switched them to the back-carry configuration. My 35-pound, 3-year-old toddler did not like being carried on the front (and my body also hated it), but he tolerated the back carry just fine because of all the padding. There are three front-carry, inward-facing options that allow for varied seat widths, and you can also carry your child facing forward, on your hip or on your back. The Líllébaby Complete All Seasons offered the most carry options of any carrier I tried. Jenni Gritters For Forbes Vetted Six Carry Options And Plenty Of Opportunity For Adjustment I'm hoping to minimize sweat since I will be using it while wearing professional clothing.Īlso something to keep in mind is the weight limits of the carriers, the seat for Baby vs Toddler, whether you can cross the back straps, and that the manufacturers recommend a max of like 15-20 minutes forward facing, which no one seemed to mention at the meeting.This Líllébaby baby carrier included extra support and padding in key spots, such as my low and. I know with her regular Ergo, she and Baby were getting sweaty. She tried it in the Lillebaby at the meeting but found Baby was kicking her in the crotch. She's never had a use for forward facing. My sister is a nanny and mom to a one year old. If you do end up going to one, bring or stake out a stroller. There's one at the MD Fairgrounds in Timonium this weekend (I went on Thursday). I know there's going to be one in Montgomery County. There may be a Totswap event near you in the future. I'm scouring the local Facebook baby wearing / swap groups and the Baby Wearing on a Budget FB group for deals. I didn't fit the lumbar support of the Lillebaby unfortunately, they didn't have me try it on but indicated that I'm probably too small for it to get a good fit. There was another forward facing one that I tried on but the name escapes me. I found it tough to get all the carriers tight enough and had to have help. Each manufacturer seems to do it a little differently. I'm not sure exactly what was important to keep in mind about it but I think being able to do it comes with experience. Another thing was the top back clip/strap. One thing that was pointed out was to pay attention to whether or not straps can be pulled tight in either direction. The Ergo had smaller lower straps than the Lillebaby. I did find that despite being petite (5' and 103 lbs), I did not enjoy the Catbird Pikkalo. I tried on a Lillebaby Complete (not Airflow or All Seasons, they said to let them know before the next meeting as they have both but didn't bring them) and a regular Ergo 360 (loud velcro, not buckles like the Cool Air) on Thursday in Columbia at a Baby Wearing International meeting but still couldn't decide (I didn't end up joining the group so I could borrow a carrier but I probably should have). ![]() They always say it's different per person's body, baby, and needs. I assumed we could put a light muslin in it or something but haven't researched that. I've been wondering if it's possible to make something velcro or something, similar to suck pads, that could go around/on the Airflow to make it warmer for winter or AC. I generally work from home but have a job in the summer where I would need to run around a college campus and take baby with me and breastfeed on the go. I live in MD and am currently debating those two and the Ergo 360 Cool Air so thanks for the post, OP. ![]()
