Soft Structured Carriers & Their Features

4/20/2016

0 Comments

 
We often get the question, “What is the best carrier?” or “What is the most comfortable carrier?” With over 200 carriers in our library, it’s hard to say that any one is the best! Trying on carriers is much like trying on jeans—just because a brand works well for someone else doesn’t mean that it’s the best brand for you!

When it comes to soft structured carriers, it can be particularly tricky as there are so many options when it comes to size and features. We have over forty soft structured carrier brands in our library, but there are even more brands out there to try.

If you have not yet found the buckle carrier that is right for you, or you’re not sure what you’re looking for in a soft structured carrier, take a peek at all these varying features. The list is not exhaustive, but it’ll give you an idea of what all is out there.

​One day, your baby suddenly isn’t a baby anymore—they’re a toddler, full of energy and curiosity. You may think it’s the end of babywearing, but sometimes it can be just the beginning! Toddlerwearing can be a great resource for caregivers when toddlers need a way to snuggle in when life gets overwhelming, stay close to an adult in a hands-off area, or simply get a better view at the zoo.

Whether you’ve been happily wearing your baby since birth or are looking to wear your little explorer for the first time, we can help find a carrier to suit you and your family’s needs.First, let’s establish what children could benefit from a larger carrier. Just because a child can walk or is over a year of age doesn’t necessarily mean they’re ready for a toddler or preschool carrier. The true determining factor is how big your child is and the size of your current carrier.

A Penny For Your Thoughts

Which would you prefer to add to our lending library: a Standard Tula, Toddler Tula, or Boba 4G? This June, vote for the next lending library carrier with your spare change! 

At each meeting in June and at EcoBuns in Holland, we’ll have jars set out for you to cast your vote for one of these soft structured carriers. Each cent counts as a vote, so the more change (or dollars!) you add, the more likely that carrier is to win!

We’ll tally up the funds after our Saturday meeting on June 27th. The winner will be announced at the BWI Grand Rapids birthday party on June 28th!

Proceeds will go towards the purchase of the chosen carrier; any extra funds will be used to help us continue spreading the babywearing love!
