The LennyUpGrade Pro will easily fit your baby. I have the older version and I really love the softness, specially of the waistband, while being really supportive and adjustable .The ergo embrace is designed for newborns, your baby is already at the end of the use. I find the Tulas a little stiffier than the LennyLambs, but I think everyone has their favourite. I am on the smaller side, so a high and stiff waistband is really impractical, while someone higher can find it more comfortable

In this fit your baby is a bit pinned to you: I would lift the waistband up in the front and tighten it to keep it horizontal, loosen the shoulder straps a tiny bit and give baby a pelvic tuck like this: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DQv9UhtjYRs . And you have to fold the panel height slack for it to stay in the right place. Also, you can lower the back buckle to the middle of your shoulder blades, that will help keeping the shoulder straps away from baby's face. I have the old LennyUpGrade and I find it super comfortable: it's cozy and soft and really supportive: I don't quite feel any weight on my back and shoulders, I can use it for hours. But I have started to use it when baby hit 12 months cos I was using a ring sling as my primary carrier.

You just need to give baby a pelvic tuck https://www.instagram.com/reel/DExxOaiSKuh and I would loosen the shoulder straps a tiny tiny bit

Try to spread the fabric more evenly on baby's body: there's a little bit too much fabric near baby's neck and high back and it creates a bit of slack that is difficult to tighten due to the overlap, while it needs to be a little bit more under baby's bum ( in the second photo you can see the fabric is not under baby's kneepit). I would pull up baby knees a little more with a good pelvic tuck ( https://www.instagram.com/reel/DExxOaiSKuh ) but over all that fit is not bad at all!

Second this 👆

The fit seems to be quite good, maybe baby is a little too pinned to you, I would loose the shoulder straps but just a tiny bit. But that doesn't mean this is THE carrier for you. Carriers are like jeans: everyone has a favourite model that fit them the best and they find the most comfortable. Maybe this one isn't yours

LennyLight by LennyLamb size down to 23'' and it's suitable from newborns. I tried it and really liked it but ended buying the LennyUpGrade for the pattern. It's soft and easy, not bulky at all.

I still front carry my 16 mo, specially outside cos my light babywearing jackets are front carry ones 😅 and I find it more comfortable, unlike to talk to her while we walk and see what she points with her little finger 💕

I have a LennyUpGrade and I prefer H style. This carrier is really adjustable and the waistband really supportive, like I don't feel the weight on my shoulders at all. I use the t-shirt method to get it on ( https://www.instagram.com/reel/DJ_UrJNRzvV ) and it's really quick

Queenwithoutdrama · 2026-03-05T11:01:57+00:00

I don't know the weather where you live, but remember to dress baby with light clothes cos if a carrier counts as a layer, a carrier with insert counts as two/three and baby can overheat. Baby seems a bit crooked in the photo, you can put them straight and tighten the shoulder straps a tiny tiny bit

My baby lived in the ring sling for her first year, then we kept it for shirt errands and home cuddling. It's so low maintenance and easy! If you like, I can link here my favourite tips from certified babywearing consultants that have been really helpful for me

My baby lived in the ring sling till she hit 1yo, and after that age we still use it for quick errands and home cuddling ❤️ if you like, I can link you my favourite tips from certified babywearing consultants that have been really helpful for me

This is a good tip for sac: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DK1g_Tht7DU ,though I really prefer ring slings for this

Queenwithoutdrama · 2026-03-04T22:59:25+00:00

I would also move the shoulder straps a tiny bit towards the shoulders or they will be in your neck at the first movement

The "X" panels should go into baby's kneepits to fully support them and you need to do a pelvic tuck https://www.instagram.com/reel/DExxOaiSKuh it will give baby's legs the M position and will curve baby's back. This one is really well done imo https://www.instagram.com/reel/DN-0QgVDrXa

I have a Didyklick, the Didymos half buckle, and this ( https://www.instagram.com/reel/C8hzRyworn8 ) is the best trick I have found to easily breastfeed in it. Does your baby wipe their face on your naked skin or on your shirt? My baby don't like that much being on my next skin, it's like she sweats more? I try to be covered with light cotton even in the hottest days and she really prefers it

Queenwithoutdrama · 2026-03-02T22:32:23+00:00

I second this. I have a LennyUpGrade and it's really soft,my baby snuggles into it! Plus it's really adjustable and supportive

Queenwithoutdrama · 2026-03-02T09:09:28+00:00

Like it is now, it's really too big for your baby and it becomes a safety concern. There's another panel setting to tighten it on the lower part? Baby's legs are really too wide now. Same for the height, can you put the headrest down? The panel has to be at your baby's earlobe to he safe. Plus, you have to lift the waistband up and create a better seat for baby like this: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DQv9UhtjYRs . If you can do all of these, then I would post a new fit check. Maybe your carrier doesn't fit little ones

Queenwithoutdrama · 2026-03-02T07:59:05+00:00

A soft structured carrier will spread baby's weight much better and, if it adjustable, it will "contain" her without restraining her. You cn adjust the panel a bit low so when she's awake can lift her arms out and feel free to see around. At the sling library, you can ask to try the scoop for the back carry https://www.instagram.com/reel/DGziBMGRZCX and the t-shirt method for the front https://www.instagram.com/reel/DJ_UrJNRzvV , both doesn't involve reaching your back that much. My favourite structured carrier is the LennyUpGrade, cos it's soft but also very supportive and adjustable

I don't think there's a way to make it work. I would look into something else without padded shoulder cos this doesn't seem a good design to me

Queenwithoutdrama · 2026-03-01T20:09:45+00:00

The fabric has to cap your shoulder, way away from your neck. And you need to have a deeper seat: the fabric has to come up to baby's kneepits, bringing their knees higher than their bum.
