Hi! I am not sure do you have a question? Or something I can help with?

Yes I do.

That's is where we have to agree to disagree! For most women at least if they place the band on their hips it will not transfer weight well as it won't get good purchase.... instead inorder to load the weight onto their hips the band needs to be placed inorder to stack it onto the hips. This can be different for men due to the difference in hip shape. So generally men get better results wearing the band slightly lower although again too low and it might not get good purchase to stack and load onto the hips.

No, they actually weigh pretty much the same both around 750g. Because all the things that add weight... The padding, the buckles etc are exactly the same and the actual fabric doesn't make a real difference in weight. From weighing a few before answering I think it accounts for 5g difference overall.

@SheenSlings thank you

@SheenSlings then cotton for me, thank you

So glad you love it! Thank you for sharing your story ❤️

I find it difficult to get a truly supportive fit for a brand new newborn. Unlike a ring sling where you can adjust every part of the fabric width to give full support for little ones back.. this one you can only adjust the overall pouch size and the support at the top... Which means it might well not give enough support across the back for a brand new day 1 newborn. It works best from 6 weeks or so (depending on the little one) when they have a bit more strength themselves and fill the sling a little more. For a day 1 newborn I recommend a ring sling instead because they are far more adjustable and customisable for a truly supportive fit

Oh hope they love it! Let me know how it works!

So glad it helped!

I answer this here ... sheenslings.com/2022/06/08/ergobaby-omni-breeze-review/. If you scroll down I compare the Breeze and the 360 in-depth near the end of the review. Hope it helps! Best Madeleine

I am so glad it helped

Thank you for coming back to let me know. I am so glad to hear it made a difference for you

Oh no! That is an issue! Did you contact Ergo under their 10 yr promise/guarantee?

So 20kg id what this carrier has been weight tested to. This means that during testing a 20kg weight is placed in the carrier and put on a machine that bounces that carrier and weight 100,000 times very quickly and that the carrier didn't sustain any damage or wear during this process. Weight testing doesn't mean a 20kg 4 year old will physically fit in the carrier... It doesn't mean that their legs will still be adequately supported or that the carrier will reach far enough up their back that it would be safe should they decide to lean back. It's actually quite sneaky that many manufacturers purposefully don't give ages to lead you to believe their product will last for longer than it actually will. My statement of 2.5 years is as a consultant who has seen children of all ages in the carrier and wants to give people a more realistic idea of what is possible. I would say this is also being optimistic, since I made this review I have worked with many families who are already finding this carrier not supportive enough by 2 and are ready to move onto a toddler option. I hope that helps clear up your confusion.

So there are other ways to carry baby if they are finding the M position challenging and other ways to add more support for their head if needed. However without seeing you and your little one in person it is hard for me to offer tips ... It sounds like you would really benefit from a bit of in person real time help. Do you have a sling library or consultant local to you? If not I do offer online video consultations so we could go through your carriers in real time and find a solution for you. Best Madeleine

@@SheenSlings unfortunately I live in a very remote village in rural Australia. Everything is online. Thank you so much for responding to me 🙏🏽

I can definitely help online if you'd like me too! We can find a time that works with the time difference.

Yes of course.... Carry #5 here (just scroll down to #5) sheenslings.com/2020/04/04/what-can-i-do-with-a-stretchy-wrap/. And/or I have a playlist on this channel entitled stretchy wrap tutorials which has all my tutorials. But the link gives and video and written explaination

Sorry, did you have a specific question or something specifically you aren't sure about?

Of course. What age size clothes does your 1y10m wear? 18 months? 2 years? Do you want something quite structured? Lots of padding? Or something more lightweight?

Oh no! Sorry it feels hard! Know that an open twist or any of the other options can totally work too if the closed twist feels hard. It's definitely easier to do with a two way stretchy wrap compared to a one way stretchy wrap

@@SheenSlings I’m just uncoordinated 😂 The open twist is no good on me. The minute I move my arm it pops out of place. I’m sticking with closed 😊

Glad to hear this helped!

Yes! In much the same way... In fact 2 half buckles gives you alot more flexibility to run the straps anyway that works well for you

I prefer this one just because it works well with all the 130 different slings and carriers in my library and all that I have ever come across. A lot the brand ones are great but often only work on that brand. I have never tried the Hoppediz one, but I had an Ergo one a couple of years back and it was designed to attach to poppers that are on the Ergo carriers so wouldnt work on other brands, or other carriers types. So if you had a wrap and an ergo and were thinking to also buy a ring sling ... A cover that will work with any of your slings would give you more options.

@@SheenSlings thank you for your answer!

Thank you!! That is lovely to hear

Thank you Kirsty!

Well done for listening to your instincts! If it doesn't feel safe then likely it isn't!

Thank you for sharing! This carrier (the close Caboo) doesn't offer outwards either. Both carriers are designed for the 4th trimester and carrying newborns in particular so little ones do tend to grow out of both of these developmentally around 4 months or so and generally this is before outwards facing would be possible or advisable anyway. The main difference between the Caboo and the Bliss is the Bliss is a buckle carrier with clips and the Caboo is a little softer for people looking for something closer to a wrap but without the wrapping. I do have a bliss and intend to make a full review soon!

Thank you! I am so glad it was helpful... I originally made it as a reminder for those who had booked an in person or online session with me as a reminder because as you say the manufacturers videos aren't the easiest to learn from! So glad it was helpful for you too.

Thank you for sharing! It's so helpful for people to hear because the manufacturer advertises a much wider age range!

I am so glad it was helpful

Yes "Airglow" is simply the colour way

Thank you so much for sharing! I am so glad this has been helpful in partnership with your other carriers.

Hi! Thank you for your question. I have seen harsh marks occasionally - not only in this carrier but others too, and almost always it is due to the positioning rather than the carrier. If baby is positioned so weight is on their inner thighs rather than on their bottom then the carrier can rub at the edge on their legs due to that pressure from that shallow seat. The trick is to check that they are sitting fully on their bottom. You can do this like this - sheenslings.com/2021/03/03/how-to-perform-a-pelvic-tilt-to-ensure-your-baby-is-sitting-comfortably-in-their-baby-carrier/ and this will relief the pressure and give them much more space around their legs. You still might see "sock mark" type lines but you should definitely not see harsh marks. Hope that helps Madeleine

Hi! I actually answer just this in immense detail in my review of the Omni Breeze here (scroll down for the comparison) sheenslings.com/2022/06/08/ergobaby-omni-breeze-review/. Technically that is the Breeze rather than the dream but as the only difference between the breeze and dream are the material everything explained in that blog is the same. Also I do have a full review of the dream on this channel which can hopefully help too. Best! Madeleine

Hi! Sounds like some help one to one would really help you crack this and work out where you are losing tension. I do offer online consultations if you'd like help working out what is going wrong and gaining confidence? Full details here sheenslings.com/online-consultations/

Hello! Please could you elaborate your comment. Baby is shown in the "spread squat position" (this is the Anhock-Spreiz for the non German speakers) in all 4 positions. In all 4 positions baby is shown with weight on bottom and legs supported so there is no pressure/weight through the developing pelvis. So I am not sure what you are referring to with this comment. I welcome open debate and also evidence for your statements... All 4 positions achieve a spread squat and there is quite alot of evidence on this being a safe and beneficial position... Starting with Dr Fettweis in the 70s right upto a few years ago where a study looked at muscular engagement. Hope this helps for anyone feeling confused or alarmed by this comment

You are so welcome!I am glad it was helpful

I have never tried the linen. I can't even see it on the UK website... Not 100% sure if it was released over here or not. So I can't comment unfortunately.

Yes! Just select postage required at checkout. All the best and thank you!

Both are fabulous carriers and both will work well for a 5 year old. The Tula is simpler and more firmly padded, the Lenny Lamb is more adjustable and is softer in feel. You can find more info about both on my website (there are full descriptions of each including who they fit best in their individual hire pages (if you go to shop, then hire then look at each of these). Neither is better than the other in all cases but most people will prefer one or the other as they do feel quite different! It depends if you prefer softness or a very firm waistband

Sorry! My old phone was having issues at this point, I have since upgraded my set up so newer videos are much better. However if you turn on the subtitles it really helps. All the best, Madeleine

So provided the material is no lower than directly under his armpits and he is comfortable that is totally fine. I would only be worried if the top of the panel was lower on his chest because then he might be at fall risk... But provided it's right at his armpits it's totally fine for him to have his arms out of that's more comfortable for him

I hope it helps! I have another video here too that might also help sheenslings.com/2021/02/23/how-to-use-a-scarf-to-extend-the-width-of-a-baby-bjorn-or-other-narrow-based-baby-carrier/

So you don't have to wear the Lenny Lite crossed. It works H shape too. For doing up the straps on this or the Flex ... There are lots of methods that work with different flexibilities. You can see them here ruclips.net/video/uho_dYcppFs/видео.htmlsi=vIGgvVyDTOUUNyNz.

I have the Stokke Limas Plus but not the Flex so can't review it I am afraid. I didn't buy the flex because when I tried it I just didn't like it as much as other carriers and certainly not as much as the plus.

This is great for supporting the neck as baby grows. You can see how it can be used in my other video demonstrating a front carry with the Beco Gemini for older babies (check out my Beco playlist to find this). For a newborn however it is unlikely you will need it... We need to support baby's neck no higher than mid-ear and for most newborns putting that support up would make the carrier come higher than mid-ear and this potential be a risk to their airway
