(Part 2) Best soft baby carriers according to redditors

Infant carrier

No stroller required. Problem solved.

Or better yet, don’t waste money taking an infant to Disneyland and avoid potentially exposing them to harm.

:( That does sound hectic. My registry is kinda all over the place because I've already bought a ton of stuff, but just some suggestions of some things (FTM so no idea really if these are good or not, some were recommendations from friends, some were recommendations from various online resources).

• car seat, extra base if you have more than one car, and stroller
  
• baby carrier - I got the ergobaby 360 with infant insert but the Lillebaby 360 is also super popular.
  
• swaddles - aden & anais seem to be hugely popular.
  
• bathing supplies - washcloths, bathtub
  
• first aid kit supplies - NoseFrida, nail clipper, thermometer
  
• feeding - bottles, sterilizer (some people told me I had to have it, some said it was totally unnecessary), bottle cleaner brush, drying rack (seems like everyone else loves the Boon grass, but I don't have the counter space!) You can get a pump through your insurance if you plan to breastfeed, I ordered mine through Aeroflow. I ultimately chose the Spectra S2 over the Medela PISA because it's a closed system, which apparently means less chances of bacteria getting into the system and thus easier cleaning.
  
• burp clothes - I was told to just get a ton of cloth diapers to use as burp clothes, and to have them everywhere.
  
• diaper pail - I have two friends who say this is good enough, so I went with it. They also said to use doggie poop bags to contain the smelly diapers.
  
• humidifier
  
• Boppy for nursing
  
• Backpack style diaper bag
  
• baby may need a more convenient place to be set down other than the crib, something you can have near you in the kitchen, shower, whatever. Popular options are the rock n play, Boppy lounger, or a pack 'n play. I plan on getting the Chicco FastAsleep pack 'n play because the crib/dresser/changing station is on our 2nd floor, so I figured this could double as a changing station/napper on the first floor.
  
  Lucie's List is probably the best resource I found online.

I don’t have the Ergo but I have a lillebaby that has less storage space than the Ergo. I got a Velcro pouch of amazon and attached it to the waistband.

You can wear him and barely notice at 1 month. When they get a little bigger, you can get a baby bjorn and flip him so he faces outwards. I wouldn't be overly concerned with any idea that he is "scared" of you as it will pass.

good luck

I'm not that tall but I am that build, and I can't recommend the Ergobaby 360 enough.

Beck toddler because my daughter is 18 months. I really loved my beco soleil. The toddler is basically a larger version.

Infantino Carry On Carrier, Grey, One Size https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M9C52TV/ref=cm_sw_r_fm_apa_i_tlgDCb7DWX8YY

This Infantino “wrap” is amazing. It pulls on like a t-shirt, is easy to use, intuitive, & cheap! And it stands up to use ... I’ve used it newborn - huge 5 month old with no issues. infantino wrap

I have a big baby too! 10 months, 32 pounds and almost 30 inches! I recommend a baby carrier with a seat. I actually just purchased this one on Amazon and my guy loves it! It's comfortable and the weight limit is 50 pounds. Amazon is also offering a $15 coupon for it right now!

Hey! The Lillebaby complete is on sale for Prime day right now. Some colors/ patterns are sold out but there are a lot left! I think that one ends up being about the same as the airflow if you remove an outer panel.

So, this is a new one and the description says it doesn't need a separate infant insert. She's 10lbs at the moment.

It's here... https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07B3VDLV9/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

​

I was debating a towel or something to boost her though. Maybe I'll try that. I didn't know about the M shape for legs, but her back def looks wrong, so it's good to have confirmation. Thanks :)

This is THE ONE for big babies. I didn't get it until she was 8 months old (I work for the company that does mom.me, and one of the editors was reviewing the Lille... she gave it to me for free!!). She's almost a year, around 90th percentile in height, probably about 22-25lbs, and still fits and nurses comfortably. She can face forward when Dad has her, face inward and nurse or nap when I have her... it is just amazing. I did a little more looking and I think this is the actual model I have: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01E7XY27W ... I am planning to use this thing well into toddler-hood. :-)

Btw I live in SoCal, and we've used this on pretty hot days. It's much more comfy temp-wise than the alternatives. By the time it's uncomfortable to be outside, it's uncomfortable for her in this, but we've been out during 85-90 degree days comfortably.

I love mine. It totally lessens my neck and shoulder from strain and supports the weight on my hips instead, almost like a third arm just still supporting my baby's bottom while using my actual arm to support her back occasionally. Not as hands free as a proper wrap or a more structured carrier but it is quick and I can flip her to face out or in really quick depending on her mood. I carry my 22 pound, 11 month old around the house and when I run errands when she isn't in the mood for the shopping cart seat. We also have a K'tan which was nice when she was smaller and a lillébaby for walks but the hip seat is nice when she wants to get up and turn around a lot.

I have this one which does not have that shoulder support strap. A lot of them use a solid piece of styrofoam for support but this one uses an aluminum frame that leaves you pocket space; I use it for shopping bags, wallet, hand sanitizer, burp cloth, sometimes a bottle or diaper too.

is it this?

This is what I used

Mother Nest Baby Carrier - Infants and Toddlers 8-26.4 lbs - Fashion Breathable Mesh https://www.amazon.com/dp/B018V7EBVW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_1.jIAbRP1HKC0

I really liked it and I’m definitely 2-3xl. Very comfy :-)

Edit: also not hot at all. Other options from this company would be good as well as long as there’s no belly strap. The one my wife picked out for her was laughable when I put it on 😂
