Many many thanks! Glad you liked it

Yes sorry my old phone wasn't great and a mike didn't help but just upgraded so hopefully better on future vids

Ah so glad you love it

Hi Steph, thank you for your questions! You can use many buckle carriers on the side like this, although it depends on the carrier and the buckle placement. But if you can cross the straps across your back you can hip carry. For all your other questions I can definitely help - i offer online consultations where we could meet online and we could go through tweaks to improve comfort with your ring sling, explore back carries and lighterweight options.

I am glad it has helped/felt insightful

As he us in 12-18 month clothing already I would be really worried he will out grow the Beco Gemini very quickly... making it nit really worth the investment. Likewise for the Ergo... although this does last a bit longer it doesn't last loads longer and its really not lightweight. Instead I would take a look at the Izmi Toddler Breeze as this us really lightweight and cool and fits from 9 months to 4 years

The breeze is identical to this but mesh ruclips.net/video/BBq_1Np1LQY/видео.htmlsi=W5r6HH_p35qPoZOE

Thank you so much for replying and for the great advice 🙂

You are so welcome! I hope this helped

I have not even heard of this one! I will take a look... if you know of anyone who would loan me one to review!

Wow just had a quick peek ... £300 is a big price tag! And there are some very questionable pictures showing less than ideal positioning. If you are keen for a fashion forward carrier that actually has substance to it and offers brilliant value take a look at the lenny lamb light.

Hi Lisa, firstly check if there is any material trapped under her bum. I have a video on how to release this here ruclips.net/video/qSF2lLi7qoQ/видео.htmlsi=KfTCWB42RuJt8Fbx then if this doesn't work move to the unrolled position with the Embrace (where you don't roll first). If you are still struggling i do offer online consultations where we can go through it face to face and I will be able to work out exactly what is going on and help you fix it sheenslings.com/online-consultations/

@@SheenSlings Thank you so much I'll try that! This page is a lifesaver!

Hope he enjoys it!

You are so welcome. Glad it was helpful

Glad it helped!

Thank you too! Hope the video helps

I have several on hip carrying ... you can find them all in my hip carrying playlist here. There are 3 or 4 with buckle carriers I think (you might need to scroll down a little to find them!) ruclips.net/p/PLb8Xmzxt2Qz1ejs_4DOnzwBpTWcA3vuoT&si=P-LEjDO7MZnVLdRp

Thank you

You’re welcome 😊 I hope it was helpful

@@SheenSlings it was! I got my first woven wrap after only ever using stretchy wraps and I'm struggling with it. This tutorial helped a lot to get him into it pretty well for a few minutes, and I'll keep trying. He actually seemed pretty comfy but I started to overthink whether his legs were ok because they weren't quite swinging freely and I think I fussed with him too much, but I will keep trying. Thank you again!

@@samantharaulin ah its easy to not be sure but in all honestly it doesn't have to be perfect.. if he is happy and comfortable it doesn't matter if his legs are perfect... leg positioning is comfort rather than safety so if he is not uncomfortable its fine to leave him (or at least fine to leave till he is asleep and you can faff gently without waking him! If you are worried I do offer online fit checks or you can always email me a photo or two for a quick check/reassurance

I'm so glad to hear this!

I am glad to hear it worked for you and your mum. That is fab! The Caboo shouldn't require adjusting at all once little one is in and so I am wondering if yours wasn't threaded correctly if it was slipping? But ultimately it doesn't matter as you found a carrier that worked and I am happy you did! Thanks for sharing your experience

Oh no! Would you like some help with it? I offer online consultations and can hopefully help get it comfortable? Or help finding something else that suits you better instead?

I'm so glad!

I have two ... sheenslings.com/2020/01/18/how-to-do-a-hip-carry-with-a-buckle-carrier/

And here ruclips.net/video/WXHIGSmEeb8/видео.htmlsi=on8aitVdGqZWGnwB

These are shown with a different carrier but it is exactly the same with the Ergo

So I definitely have ones I recommend for your body shape but there really isn't a carrier that I would recommend for outward facing at 14 months. I mean there are ones that will work but little one will grow out of them really soon and its just not worth the ££. I would recommend smaller toddler carriers like the Izmi Toddler, the Kahu Toddler or the Manduca XT, Lenny Upgrade.. all of which will give you a lot of longevity but won't give you outwards facing. But they all would give you a back carry... which gives the same view as outward facing (just over your shoulder) and will be alot kinder on your back as baby grows.

@@SheenSlings thank you so much! I’ll definitely look into those! 😀

I am so glad to hear it was helpful for you

It is comfortable for back carries although not everyone loves the feeling of the unpadded shoulder straps. It does come in a "breeze" mesh version that is fab for hot climates. Or another option that is light weight and cool but has slightly more padded shoulder straps is the Kahu Toddler

I am 5'7 or 170cm

I honestly can't answer as to if it will be more or less comfortable for you as this will depend on individual body geometry and not just height

@@SheenSlings Thank you for answering! I guess I will look into other options!

I am sorry you are struggling. I offer online consultations if this would be helpful for you. This way we could go through fitting in real time together and see if there are tweaks we can make to the fit to ensure she is comfortable and supported and you feel confident adjusting the carrier as needed. Full details about online consults, how they work and costs here - sheenslings.com/online-consultations/

I think this will feel alot more natural in those very early days compared to the bulk of the adapt. But likely you will move onto the adapt quickly so it might feel not completely worth it. I would look at whether it is possible to hire one for the 4th trimester, rather than buy. I offer this if you are based in the UK or i am sure others do this elsewhere too.

@@SheenSlings thank you very much for your answer! I am not in the UK, but I will look for one on the used market.

I am not 100% sure, I have since sold this on so I can't check for you I am afraid. Carriers I know that work well for petite parents include the KahuBaby carrier. Often these more bulky ones like the Kavka don't work well as the padding is too much on a smaller form.

I don't have one I am afraid! I will keep my eye out!

Oh? But I do now! I used to retail them and then stopped as Amazon was so much cheaper but now I have been able to get them again so you can also find them on my website, same price as Amazon was selling them 😁

In your opinion! So glad you've found the one that works for your body 😁

So glad it was helpful

You are welcome!

I am so glad to hear it was helpful!

I am so glad it has helped you! If you would like to rent you can do so here... sheenslings.com/product-category/hire/ Based on how you describe your body then yes tula could be an option... I'd also consider KahuBaby, Manduca XT or the Lenny Hybrid as these all have fantastic flexibility of fit and are ones I have seen work on others with similar proportions. Also not the Tula lumbar pad often doesn't make a huge difference but it also works on any carrier not just Tula.

Used correctly it should support their head, but it can take a couple of goes to get the head support in the right place. If that is something you are struggling that is definitely something I can help with via an online video consultation. Best, Madeleine

So glad it helped

Thank you! Yes, it can be so hard online to find impartial reviews and work out what might be true. So glad it helped. Best, Madeleine

Ps I have since made a second video with an Artipoppe after getting my hands on my own... I am even more negative in that review!!

I am afraid I don't have either of these, so can't compare... sorry!! Not sure the Happy Baby is sold in the UK?

Thank you for sharing your experience. That is very helpful to know

Amazing! So glad it helped!

Unfortunately I can't do this, but I have just bought a microphone so future videos will be made with the microphone and hopefully that will help! There are subtitles on all the videos usually you can click to view these if they don't come up automatically.

You are so welcome. Glad it was helpful

ah I am sorry! I have purchased a microphone and hopefully this will make a difference, but the audio is already up as loud as it will go its just probably I was standing further away! Sorry! I am working on it!

My top suggestions for carriers that work really well 4 months to 2 or 3 years and offer multiple carrying postions include the Manduca XT, Lenny Lamb Upgrade, Ergobaby Omni Breeze, Tula Explore, Beco 8, Beco Gemini. Do you have the option to try a few on? Carriers all fit a bit like jeans and so its really worth trying before you invest if you can. If you are UK based I do offer hires and you can arrange this (and read more about each carrier here) - sheenslings.com/product-category/hire/ For more indepth help if you want to discuss your needs indepth I do offer online consultations - sheenslings.com/online-consultations/ Best!

Hi! I think its hard to see from this speed up tutorial but yes the material sits behind the knees supporting the legs in a deep squat where the weight is on baby's bottom and they are carrying none of the weight of their legs in their hip sockets. I have another long format slow speed tutorial of this (front wrap cross carry) in my woven wrap tutorials playlist if its helpful to see it at real time slow speed.

Thank you! Hope it was helpful!

Looks like a nice fit for forward facing x

It is. Its just a bit shortlived for the price. Feels like greenwashing to me. But it does give a nice outward position and does work very well on petite bodies that struggle with the bulkier Omni models

You can arrange hire here sheenslings.com/product-category/hire/ or drop me a message via the website if its not obvious or you have questions. Best! Madeleine
