I have kea babies wrap and an Infantino carrier. I like both, but the wrap takes more time and i had to memorize how to wrap it first and practice lol. So Infantino gets more use
We have an Izmi baby carrier and it’s so easy to put on and comfortable. The Mabe/momcozy/Artipoppe dupes aren’t suitable for newborns either, depending on your babies’ age.
I used a wrap in the beginning with both (not sure brand really matters, it’s just a long cloth you tie up a certain way), then for structured carrier ErgoBaby has been the best. Babybjorn hurt my back
Ergo baby!!
The lillebaby dragonfly was a favorite "wrap" for me. It adjusted in size and went on like a tshirt. But as my baby grew i then went to happy baby carrier and that has been my go to since.
I have a boba wrap and use it all day everyday lol
I LOVE my Tula Standard. I also have a wrap and a lennylamb toddler carrier and would highly recommend the Tula. The wraps are a steep learning curve and while they can be super comfy once you’ve got it down, I think you have to start young. My baby hated getting wrapped and never settled long enough for me to master the art. A great compromise is to get a woven (also called a full wrap conversion) in order to get the wonderful woven fabric and beautiful patterns. I got mine of a FB BST group used, which is better for women’s because they are more broken in and softer.
I had a kea babies wrap style carrier that I loved
