LÍLLÉbaby Complete All Seasons Ergonomic 6-in-1 Baby Carrier Infant to Toddler with Lumbar Support (7-45 Pounds), 360 Degree Baby Wearing & Multi-Position, Inward & Outward Facing (Etch)

I’ve tried several carriers, wrap, sling, and another snap in style over three babies. This is the best. Wish I’d gotten it for my first baby! Love the sun cover option and the mesh back for hot days. Storage pocket just fits my phone. Can use in several different positions, easy to use for the most part but hard to do back carry yourself. Best back support! Highly recommend. My only complaint is it’s rather large to store or carry around. Like when we went on vacation it was packed in its own separate bag, I looked up videos on how to make it as small as possible and it was still pretty big. The belt and straps are pretty structured so they don’t fold up, but that does make it more comfortable to use. To me it’s worth the size for how comfortable it is! Also good for plus sized parents (I wear 2-3x size clothes) and I learned you can buy an extension for the strap if needed. Also easily adjusts to different sized people, like my husband is taller and slimmer and we can switch off in a matter of minutes.

I had the original Ergo with my first baby and it worked fine for us. Honestly, I didn't baby wear much with the first. So when I brought it out of storage for baby number two I didn't even think about the possibility that he wouldn't like it...but he didn't. This time around I found myself in more and more situations where I had to wear the baby while chasing/following/corralling a two year old so I definitely needed something. Anytime I put him in the Ergo carrier he would fuss & cry usually until I took him out. I started to panic, we had a Disneyland trip coming up and I needed something to wear him in during standing in lines & around the park. I didn't want an unhappy & uncomfortable baby the whole time while in Disneyland so I did a ton of research and it came down to a couple carriers but in the end I chose the Lillebaby...why did I choose the Lillebaby? A few things...I LOVED the pocket on the Ergo. It was so useful for holding a pacifier, a credit card, my phone, a burp cloth, etc. and the Lillebaby has a pocket on the front as well which is the perfect size and easily accessible. I also loved the head support that you can flip up for when the baby falls asleep. My baby was 5 months old when I finally purchased the Lillebaby so he had good head control, but it still is super handy when he falls asleep I can just clip it up and his head won't flop back when I'm walking or bending. What really sold me on the Lillebaby was the fact that I could make the seat narrow or use the wide seat. I had a feeling my baby needed a more narrow seat for his legs and hips to be comfortable & I believe that's what makes it more comfortable for him. I've only had the Lillebaby for about a week now but we've used it almost every day and it's baby approved! He is SO much more comfortable & happy in it & has even fallen asleep in it every time we've used it. A couple other bonuses are the lumbar support (which is removable) but it feels like a dream wearing it and also the option of baby facing outward. The Lillebaby also has a wonderful hood to shade his/her head or to offer some cover when breastfeeding. The Lillebaby carrier is easy for me to put on, the straps are super easy to adjust and for some reason the back neck clip is a lot easier for me to reach/buckle than the one on my Ergo (which I do have on the highest setting). I'm 5'2" and this carrier fits me great & also works great on my 6' husband.It was hard making the decision to buy another carrier purely on the hopes that my baby would like it but I am so glad I did and I am so glad I went with the Lillebaby. Every person & baby is different but Lillebaby is definitely what works for my baby & I. This is one of my favorite baby gear purchases thus far.

This is my 4th baby carrier. I have a moby wrap, a baby bjorn, a tula and now this. I think that I finally found the perfect carrier! The moby wrap was ok, My baby liked it and seemed well supported and comfortable but it was such a pain to put on and take off! It is not something I could just pop the baby in and go. The baby bjorn was ok at first, but because it just holds the baby between the legs he started to seem uncomfortable sitting in it by about 3 months old when he started to get chubby and needed a wider seat to support his bum. I ordered the tula because it is supposed to be the most comfortable and amazing carrier ever created. Well, the problem with the tula is that you have to use a special insert until the baby is a certain size. The insert is super bulky and uncomfortable and my baby hated it! He screamed like crazy every time I put him in it! Also, the baby can not face forward while front riding in the tula, and for my super alert guy that was just miserable not to be able to look around. So I ordered my 4th carrier, which is the LILLEbaby. This is the best carrier EVER! I'll start with the carrier itself. It is very well made, and the pattern is adorable! My daughters insist that this should NOT be used for their baby brother because it is a "girl" pattern, but I loved it so I don't care if it has pink on it. ( : The carrier is so well made it amazes me. Instead of needing an extra insert for a smaller baby, the carrier itself adjusts to accommodate the baby while still being super supportive! There are SO many ways to carry a baby in this, I have only tried on the front facing me and front forward facing so far, but as my baby grows I'm looking forward to trying the back and hip carry positions too. My baby loves facing forward and is so happy being able to see where we are going when we are working around the house, outside, shopping, etc. My baby is still pretty small but the should and back support of this carrier is amazing, I'm sure I'll be able to carry him for a long time without any pain in my back or shoulders. The only change that may be nice would be to add a pocket in the belt like the tula has. There is a small pocket in the lillebaby on the back, but it is very small. The tula has a pocket in the front of the belt that is a bit bigger, I would love to see one of those added to the lillebaby to carry phone, keys, wallet, etc. I am so happy with this carrier and I will be recommending it to all my friends who are having babies!
