Baby carrier recommendations?☺️

I had a baby carrier with my first baby but I’m looking to get a new one for my second as no doubt I’ll be using it much more frequently! The one I’ve got already was one of those sling wrap ones and at the time it was such a faff getting it ‘set up’ correctly especially when I had a screaming newborn🙃. I also have the Infantino flip 4 in 1 advanced carrier but wasn’t sure if that was more for the outdoors than indoors? I’m looking for recommendations on what carrier works best with a newborn and a toddler (carrier for the newborn), simple to use, comfy for baby, suitable for most situations (indoor/outdoor). I was considering the Momcozy one but there is just so many out there I’ve no idea 🙈😂

I’ve seen momcozy isn’t that great until they’re about 3 months, despite the advertising. We have a koala cuddle band which is like a sling wrap but half the tying is done for you, which is great - you just put it over your head and tighten essentially - and have a Tula Free to Grow on the way for outdoor walks as it can be properly adjusted x

@Jess I did question this as with the infantino one we have it did have a good head/neck support but the Momcozy one seems quite folded down? But I assumed it could be adjusted or I was just reading into the image wrong as it does say suitable for newborns but I don’t want to have to have a hand by babies head ‘just in case’ especially if you’re bending down in it etc whilst on the move! Thank you for your recommendation I’ll look into those options too!

@Zoe I’m taking it all from a baby wearing group on FB, it’ll probably depend on baby’s measurements a lot but the mods seem to have bad blood with momcozy’s advertising to newborns 😂 another option would be postal hire or a visit to a sling library. Agree on the having a hand just in case, we’ve carried a couple of times but I’m always worried with the wrap - hoping the more structured sling gives some more security!

Ergobaby embrace...it's like a normal baby carrier with the softness of a baby wrap. I am trying a baby wrap this time but I still plan on using my ergobaby embrace as well x

Artipoppe or Ergobaby Omni 360 are the ones we had and loved

I really like the Lenny Lamb Upgrade. I find it really comfy and it lasts a lot longer than most. The best bet though is to find a local sling library to try them out in person, or there are some that do postal hire online. What suits others really well may not suit you at all

Hey. I have an Artipoppe which I absolutely adore. I used it with my first from about 4 weeks and still used it with him as a toddler. I find it super easy to put on and also it’s really comfy. They’re pricey but it meant I only had to buy one type of carrier the whole time. Plus I adore the patterns. I got a houndstooth one and so many people complimented it. I think my referral code might still work which saves you about £50 I think if you were tempted. https://referral.shop.artipoppe.com/l/1CATHERINEM72/
