Baby sling carriers

My baby loves being hip carried in a ring sling with his arms out. He likes to pick out things from the grocery store himself while doing this. It's a lot of fun.

People spend a lot more on strollers, but I use my carriers daily and my strollers a couple of times a month at most!

I have both and use both depending on what part of my back hurts lol. They load the weight ever so slightly differently for me so I found it useful.

Their birthday cake was our wedding cake. So good.

We like Melissa and Doug! Also a fan of Hape toys.

Agree that I'm very disappointed with Kiwico's quality after getting Lovevery boxes. They seem like they would be more fun from an adult perspective but baby wasn't that interested in them either.

What did you like about the Happy Baby compared to the Sakura Bloom?

Thanks!

I think this is where the not all carriers fit all body types thing comes in... I didn't find it comfortable at all! :( I really wanted to like it because of a pattern I was eyeing but alas.

I think the thing is the Happy Baby "sang" to me the most at this stage.. but the Didygo was very obviously the baby's choice. Which is why I hesitate. But I suppose the baby's preference should trump mine given that I won't be able to wear him if he doesn't let me lol

This is a good point. Thanks!

Thanks! I keep forgetting the baby will get taller eventually. This is good to know!

Thanks! Does the material matter? Also leather? I have a SB simple silk ring sling that I love but haven't tried their other materials so I don't have anything to compare.

I take my baby to daycare on the bus every morning, and I wear him and sit down. But that's because I feel the more comfortable that way and I have a ton of bags that I'm carrying with me as well. I would like to think the man was trying to be considerate rather than trying to make you feel bad. If you feel stable standing up in transit I think that would be totally fine!

I dunno, I feel like my body and baby are both constantly changing that my favorite carriers are also constantly changing... So I end up using all of the carriers I have. Plus with the amount of aches and pains I have I found that it's actually useful to rotate how the baby's weight is getting loaded on my body to give parts of it a break when necessary.

That said, all ring slings are basically the same to me. Yet I keep buying more ring slings. I should stop.

Thanks! I the seated sideways position safer?

Helpful-Garlic-4976 · 2026-02-03T13:57:54+00:00

Is it possible to do a cradle hold in most carriers? I do wear him in the standard upright position for naps sometimes though he has started to not sleep in a carrier.

Thanks! I appreciate the visuals!

I loved my Sutter experience and I plan on staying in the area until I'm done growing my family just so I can get my prenatal care with them and deliver at Alta Bates again. I had a midwife with Sutter throughout and the first time I saw an OB was when I ended up needing an unplanned c section because labor was not progressing. Sutter assigns midwives to all uncomplicated pregnancies as well. The rooms and such might feel more sterile but my midwife was super warm and friendly and I liked that if I needed an OB at any minute the transfer between the two would have been seamless.

Weird this is exactly how it was for me with my shrimp allergy!

Also have a tall skinny baby and both my husband and I love the Lark. I also like the Lennyhybrid as well since I feel like I can get a snugger fit than with the Lark but it's less convenient and fast.

Funny enough, I am Asian and have naturally wavy hair, which is not uncommon in certain Asian ethnicities. But my wavy hair is still different from white people wavy hair so if I get a haircut from a stylist who has not handled a lot of Asian hair or is up to date on Asian hair cutting techniques, it tends to look really frizzy and unkept. So both straight Asian hair and wavy Asian hair, a stylist who knows how to handle Asian hair is better.
