Just buy it.

I needed a new baby carrier after my little babe doubled in size after a few weeks and after extensive research I settled on the Baby Tula carrier in Sand Linen. This has been the best investment. I live in Texas and the weather is warm here and the linen has been breathable for me and bub. I settled on the Sand because I needed something easy to clean and to hide stains from my toddler. My chunk loves it and falls asleep so fast in it. 10/10

Plus size worthy
Best for plus size people. Love all the ways you can convert this to baby wear.

Saves my back and shoulders!

This carrier is exactly what I was looking for! The cotton fabric is soft and comfy. The support is perfect for my rickety old back and my baby seems to really like it, too!

Worth it
This review was collected as part of a promotion
I dragged my feet on buying this carrier for weeks, but it’s the best carrier we’ve ever had and I’ll definitely be buying a second, maybe in linen! I was worried the cotton would be too warm, so was strongly debating the mesh or the linen options. I finally bought the cotton one in the Zola print (so gorgeous and fun) and don’t find it to be too hot at all, even in the North Carolina summer. It’s the most comfortable carrier we own, and I feel like it’s supporting our baby in all the right

The perfect carrier for husband and me
This review was collected as part of a promotion
Wow, what a fantastic baby carrier, we couldn’t be happier. The waist strap is supportive, the shoulder straps are comfortable, the fabric is soft, my back doesn’t hurt even after wearing baby for 3+ hours and most of all, baby loves it too!

So comfy for Giant Babies
This review was collected as part of a promotion
We have a pretty large 3 month old so I needed a carrier that would support her head and that I could manage by myself that wasn't too tiring. Also I am fatigued at having so much baby *stuff* so if I was going to get an expensive carrier I wanted it to last multiple stages. This one is beyond comfy- my only complaint is that the straps hit me right at the armpit but I forgot about that after the first time I wore her for a significant amount of time. I now opt for this bad guy for

1st time mom- highly recommend
This review was collected as part of a promotion
This fits comfortably, I am a size 22/24 and the strap still has a little amount of room around the waist. My baby falls asleep every time he is in it. He is almost 2 months old now. I feel like he is very secure and it holds his head safely. This is a lifesaver to be able to do things around the house and running errands. 100% worth the cost
