I'm going to try and score one on Saturday. I'm sure I will fail miserably, but I need to try! Ahhhhhhh!

Do they put the listings up ahead of time, or do they first appear when the item is ready to be purchased?

when they are live and ready to be purchased. its like 5 minutes of constantly hitting f5 then clicking one and it being sold out already. that's how fast the WCs sell out every week. its crazy. people upgrade their internet for that day only and then downgrade. they are nuts!

Yes 12 EST tomorrow. But they usually they stock WCs on Sundays at 3 PST so 6 EST. This weekend is just weird because of Easter. Hopefully they will stock more WCs made out of their own wraps another time soon.

Full standard Pyria in blue is mine! My heart is going a hundred miles an hour! Hopefully I like it! I'm not a huge purple girl so I didn't want one of the purple/orchid ones.

Hopefully you did better than I did. I thought I might of had one, but nope. Then I realize I clicked on the wrong one anyways, so it is probably better that way. Do you know how often they stock WC?

We posted at the same time. I got a full standard Pyria in blue! I wanted Elsa in a full standard, but I just blindly clicked the first blue one I saw.

They stock WCs every other Sunday. Not sure when they will post Tula WCs again. If for some reason, if I don't end up liking mine, I will let you know!

Congrats! I did the same thing but with yellow. I wanted the Uno Sunburst but realize that was not what I clicked on.

Congrats ilikedonuts!!!

You guys, my Tula was delivered this morning! I am so geeking out thinking about trying it out when I get home tonight.

[oceanstbride]

I ordered both the Standard and Toddler Tula. DS is 23.5 lbs. and 29 inches at 10 months. I have an Ergo that I like, but have started to become uncomfortable after carrying him for about an hour. We leave for a cruise this coming weekend, so I want a comfortable carrier. I'm not sure which one to keep. Both are comfortable. The Toddler seems a tiny bit big for him right now (what I noticed is it comes higher up his back and his legs are less exposed, but the fabric still hits behind his knees), but I think he'd fit great in it in about 1-2 months and I don't think it's dangerously too big. Anyone interested in giving their opinion?

Toddler is too big. He's not knee to knee. You want him in the M position. www.manduca.com.au/#/the-m-position/4557340929 I think you have a lot of room left in the standard (many months).

[ilikedonuts]

And I love prepster! If I had a boy, I would have bought one!

[celiacmom]

ilikedonuts can you look at this picture and tell me if you think my son fits in it ok? I don't know why I'm second guessing but....

Looks good to me! You can see that his knee is bent (and not straight out) and the way it is makes him sit in the natural M position.

Thank you!!! Looking back at the pictures, I see what you're saying.

So its here. And DD2 and I are in love! (heart)

[ilikedonuts]

And I'm annoyed the Elsa wrap (the wrap I've wanted since they first released pictures!) is stocking tomorrow because my husband will divorce me if I attempt to buy a $200 wrap after I just spent $310 on a WC less than a week ago. noooooooooooooooooo.

No need to stalk for me now. I found our perfect Tula in the newly released Float Away. It's my husband's Mother's Day gift to me. <3

I love this one!!!

It's super cute.  I am thinking of ordering it.  I want an Oliver but forgot about the stocking and logged on at 9:04.  It was gone in like 30 seconds.  I don't think I'll be able to get on Monday.

Ooh, so pretty! Priya Toddler was what I wanted but forgot!

You guys look great!

Someone is doing a draw on the Tula BST for a half standard for retail (well retail + pp fees + shipping which works out to be $310) for WC-less moms. You basically comment on her post and ask to be entered and then she'll draw a name and you'll buy it from her.

We did a 3 mile walk for a fundraiser today at a forest preserve. DS started in the stroller but wanted to be held, so we put him in our new Tula. LOVED IT! I wore him for probably 2-2.5 miles and it was so much better than the Ergo. He is 3yo, almost 40" and 40lbs. He said it was comfortable and was totally cool being carried in it. We asked if it was better than the Ergo and he said "yes!" Lol. Should have gotten this a long time ago. We'll also be using it for the airport next week and I imagine it will be great there too. In case anyone's considering it still, I highly recommend it!

We got our standard yesterday and tried it at Costco today (DH was the tester). Back carry was good but my husband is paranoid and likes being able to see her so he switched her to the front after 20 minutes

That looks great.
When A was tiny, I hated having her where I couldn't see her. I started carrying a compact mirror with me, so I could check her on occasion. It helped me figure out what she was doing at certain times, so eventually I could figure it out without the mirror.

Educate me here - who's scored a wrap conversion from a Tula stocking, and what does the process entail? Do I need to have figured out which ones are being stocked ahead of time and then from those, know which one I want to try to get? I assume they do both standards and toddlers in all the prints? I'm under no illusions I'll actually score one, but would at least like to have some knowledge of what I'm doing before I try.

They do a preview on their FB (it was posted Thursday this week and they posted a couple more today), but that's not all of them. Basically, you'll never know everything they are stocking.

They will post two links on their FB page the day of the stocking. One standard. One toddler. Usually they have toddlers and standards in the same wrap, but not always. And the type semi, half, full varies as well. You'll basically never know until everything is live. Nor will you know how many of each there were of each. I would say the majority of the people blindly click on and then add it to their cart and go to check out and hope its one they like.

[geek96]

I am excited to have gotten a spotted love when they stocked on Friday. I was disappointed when I didn't get Oliver but I think I like spotted love even more.

Thank you, ilikedonuts!

... so I carted and got my first wc. For a friend, but still. That was thrilling. ;p

Which one?

I did not see the one I really wanted, so I did not really try to get anything.

What was up with the $700 toddler one? I think the standard one of the same material was $650. That is crazy talk.
