Ours is Ergobaby Original Carrier. 5.5 months na si baby. Ok naman, di naman siya umiiyak and naka even out yung weight so hindi uncomfortable ang feeling nung gumagamit. Nung around 1-2 months siya, i bought a ringsling carrier kaso hindi niya gusto.

Anybody here who has used i-angel hipseat? Good reviews siya sa IG and sa ibang bansa

I have this carrier from Chicco.  Looks nice pero nagmamark sa legs ni baby, he looked so uncomfortable gusto sana namin magbaby wear si yaya nun.  Oh well, end up stroller parin.  I want to buy something nice sana yung parang x sa harap para w yung position ni baby.  Is that called tula?

[bagaholic_chewy]

^ narrow-based carrier (nbc) kasi yata ang Chicco? So medyo dangling ang legs ni baby, hindi sya comfy especially for long wear. Tula and Ergo are similar, both SSC (soft-structured carrier). Mas madami lang designs si Tula and wider din ang panel. But they're both good brands. Moby and Boba are good SSCs too.

I must say I am really glad that i babywear. Our Japan trip with a 1.5yr old toddler was made more manageable because of our carriers (we brought 2 Tulas - isang canvas and isang wrap conversion). No heavy/bulky stroller to carry (lalo in crowded places + and sights with lots of stairs like the temples in Kyoto). And it made commuting easy, too.

Hinahayaan namin sya to walk pag di ganun kadami tao and kung medyo malawak ang space. But for stairs and if naghahabol ng trains or so, babywear na kami. Minsan ayaw pumayag ni toddler (lalo if naaaliw sa nilalakaran) so ayun ambagal tuloy ng lakad namin, hehe.. pero ok lang kasi most of the time naman na we talk to her na iki-carry namin sya pag madami tao and if nagmamadali, e pumapayag naman.

^ Can you send me a link of what your carrier looks like?  And yes, my baby's legs were dangling that time and he had red marks so you know na naiiipit yung blood. We had no choice but to have her yaya use the stroller.

I am looking at online shops and may tula that I am eyeing.  Worry ko lang is if newborn, hindi pa mahihirap yung head niya?

I'm looking at this one pero confused whether I should go with the stretchy kind, which according to the site, is a matter of preference.  Right now I don't know what I want, wala pa din baby.

I used to have a narrow based carrier na Chicco. First time we used it and nasoak ang diaper and yung carrier kasi parang napiga ang diaper because all the pressure is in the groin. nakita ko pa pagtanggal ko ng diaper, may marks sa groin area and sa genitals so we stopped using it immediately.

So I researched for ergonomic carriers. I used to have a ring sling pero di na kaya ang bigat ng isang shoulder ko. Since Im also having back pains, nagustuhan ko yung carrier ng Lillebaby kasi it has lumbar support. Im using the Lillebaby Airflow btw. Great for our weather kasi Mesh. Pawisin kasi si Baby. I read somewhere that the stretchy wrap (like the moby wrap) is best for newborn pero pag older infants and toddlers, hindi na sya advisable, since hindi na sya supportive para ganung weight.

For the tula, I think merong technique na rolled towel for newborn? I'm not really sure. pero pag sa ergo, kelangan ng infant insert. For the lillebaby no need for an insert for newborns.

[bagaholic_chewy]

Tula and Ergo will need an infant insert pag for newborns and small babies. Based sa nababasa ko, best options for newborns would be: ring sling, stretchy wraps like Moby, hybrids like Ktan and Saya, woven wraps.

When my baby was smaller, i used SaYa.

[caterpillar-girl]

When you say newborn, how new is new? Hehe. Like 3 months? Or kapag may head control na si baby hindi na sya newborn and no need for infant inserts...? Sorry first time mom here!

[bagaholic_chewy]

Newborn for me, less than 2 months. Hehe..

As to the need for inserts, i think depende sa laki ni baby. But i guess 4 months is an average age na di na kelangan ng insert.. but i could be wrong though. Never tried using an insert kasi. Nag-SSC (Ergo first SSC ni hubby, before we got a Tula) lang kami nung lampas 4 months na si baby e.

[skela96c]

Using saYa now and i must say ang laking tulong.  I can now move around the house to do chores. I also use it grocery shopping and whenever we go out na nakakatamad magstroller.

True that its preferrable to use it for newborn than ergo carrier. We have ergo with the insert and though  mukang mas cushioned si baby, easier and mas handy pa din talaga yung saya. My baby's 6weeks old now. Siguro we'll use the ergo more as baby gets older.

[fionaapple]

^dun sa mga nag baby wear, did you still buy a stroller for your baby? pano kung yaya yung may dala ng baby nyo, ano gamit ni yaya?

[skela96c]

^nauna kasi namin binili yung stroller; i was still pregnant then. Typical na nasa checklist kaya binili namin. Lol!

We still use it now especially kung mag eat out so i can eat properly naman and/or when the baby needs to stretch din pag long time that we'll be out.  It's also helpful when we need to change nappies. Pero for errands like grocery shopping or when i just want to go out na ako lang without my husband, i use the saya. (Still praying for a yaya at the moment, but i probably will not let her use the saya. )

[fionaapple]

^ ilang months kayong pregnant nung magstart mamili ng baby stuff? anong month kayo bumili ng crib, stroller, car seat? may gusto na kasi akong bilhin na pack and play crib. used item siya pero mukhang bago pa naman. pwede naman inspect according to the owner kaya check ko muna...

[bagaholic_chewy]

Bumili kami ng stroller (travel system, so pwede i-attach ang carseat) nung kakapanganak ko pa lang. Nagamit namin pag nakakatulog sa car seat si baby, di na namin ginigising, attach na lang ang carseat sa stroller. Pag lalabas kasi kami, most of the time either ako or si husband ang me hawak kay baby. Si yaya sa mga gamit. And pag gising si baby, ayaw din nya naka-stroller.

Napabili din kami ng umbrella stroller nung first overseas travel namin. But honestly, di namin nasulit ang mga strollers namin kasi mas convenient pa din talaga for us mag-babywear. Like yung sa HK. Pag sasakay ng bus, need i-fold ang stroller so hassle pa kasi need tanggalin si baby during the bus ride. Then balik ulit pagkababa. Tapos pag crowded ang place or train, hirap to navigate with the stroller, nakakabagal. Plus, me mga mtr stations na 1 exit lang ang me elevator. So if sasadyain ang elevator, layo pa ng ikot. Kaya after ng 1st day namin sa HK, the rest of the week SaYa and Ergo na kami.

Now, toddler na daughter ko. No stroller na. Either lakad/run sya or babywear kami (for example, pag pagod or antok na sya).

[freckledbelle]

I used Ergo before and now that my daughter is 2 bigla ayaw sa pram mas prefer karga. I searched and I read okay daw ang Tula for toddlers. Anyone here using Tula? 😊

[fionaapple]

^thank you sa replies.

marami akong nababasang good reviews about Tula. ipapanganak pa lang ang baby ko and a cousin gave me SaYa carrier. ok naman siya sa newborn. saka na lang kami bili ng ibang carrier as the need arises. pero plan pa rin namin bumili ng travel system.

[mimiku]

How much is Boba Air? And saan makakabili nito?

[freckledbelle]

^^Sorry kulang natype ko message. About Ergo, it's a bit expensive but really sulit. No backpain, the three ways to carry a child is very helpful and it's durable, I used it for my two kids since birth and it's still okay. The only reason I want Tula is because the Ergo is kupas na. You can use it even your baby is a newborn, just buy insert lang. I bought mine in Singapore but I think you can buy Ergo sa SM na ngayon. HTH. 😊
