Tula v. Ergo

[andrewsgal]

My ergo hurts my back too. I have heard nothing but good things about the Tula. DS hates being worn and since he is my last I can't justify the cost but if I had it to do again I would have gotten a Tula.

I love my ergo and have never had any problems with it. I have heard of places where you can rent carriers, maybe your town has something like that? Rent/borrow before you buy?

I've also heard of baby wearing groups where they have diff carriers for you to try out. Maybe try faceyspace?

I've also heard food things about the tula, but don't have experience with either

We both love our ergo but I've never tried a Tula. I've heard wonderful things, though. If you are able to try before you buy, that would be useful. Ergos do pretty well second hand, so you could put that towards a Tula.

Also becos are another popular soft structured carrier.

I'm not a huge SSC fan but I'd get a tula over an ergo. The resale value on tula's is really high. They often sell for just as much if not more used. Plus I think they're cuter. I have a woven that works well for me and I have back issues.

I love my Beco. The Ergo worked okay for me in a back carry, but was always sliding off my shoulders in a front carry. I also found it hard to adjust and keep the hip strap sitting at my hips which led to soreness. The Beco fits like a dream, is easy to adjust for my husband, and I can back carry DS forever (23 months; 25ish lbs) in it. I've even thrown DD into in on rare occasions, and been fine. It also comes with the newborn insert, and it snaps right in - it felt less bulky and cumbersome than the Ergo insert.

Edit:  It's also really cute.  That's maybe not the most important thing, but for like a year that thing was practically glued to me and as big a wardrobe staple as anything in my closet, so having it look nice was a nice perk.

I can still wear my 35lb 4 year oid in a kinder pack. Another ssc to research.

This was me too.  I thought why bother with Tula.  Isn't it the same? Then I tired one and it is so much better.  I bought the toddler size and I love it.  Do you have a local store? At the store I buy from they give a 2 week trial on all carriers.  It's nice to know that I can return it.

If price isnt important issue Tula or Kinderpack for sure. Price was an issue for me so I sold my Ergo and went with a nice Mei Tai and it worked great for me and I could get the snug fit I wanted.

We have the beco gemini & love it but ds is very tall and 38 lb so I've looked a little into what our next carrier could be. Might go with a kinderpack or a tula. There are lots of youtube videos that are helpful.

I love my ergo and mei tai but have quite a few friends that swear by their tula.
