I can’t even find the words to tell you guys just how much I LOVE babywearing! Truth be told, I didn’t always. When my son was a baby, we got a baby carrier, and I must have used it ONCE, maybe twice before I finally got rid of it. That was over nine years ago. Back then, I didn’t really see a lot of moms babywearing. Plus after a few months, my son was WAY too heavy to carry anyway. Today I wanted to share why I still babywear Jazzy even though she’s no longer a baby.
3 Reasons Why I Babywear My Toddler – Baby Tula Review
I received the Baby Tula Toddler Carrier free to facilitate my review. All opinions are my own.
For those of you that don’t know the term ‘babywearing,’ it means holding your baby/small child using a sling or baby carrier. I call it, “the one that kept me from losing my mind when my daughter was a baby.”

My daughter is super glue.
My daughter spends all her waking hours with me. There could be 100 people in the room, but she will always come to me. Since there is no running away from her, might as well be comfortable when holding her.
-
Makes going out easier.
I live in the boonies. Or at least MY version of the boonies after residing in the city pretty much my entire life. Every once in a while I like to go to Montreal and babywearing makes it easier. I don’t know if any of you ever taken the subway before but trying to go down those electric stairs with a stroller is NO jokes. We take the train and bus to travel around, and a stroller with two kids is not ideal. Babywearing works for us.
-
She won’t be little forever.
Finally, the 3rd reason that I still babywear my daughter is the simple fact that, she won’t be little for much too long. I want to soak up all her littleness for as long as I can.
About Baby Tula
The Baby Tula carriers have been recognized and awarded for their high-quality. Combining comfort and style by using high quality materials, bold designs, and promoting ergonomic positioning, Baby Tula has been recognized as leader in the baby carrying industry.
When my daughter was a baby, my friend lend me her baby wrap, and I seriously lived in it. LOL I was home alone with my daughter all day and babywearing her was the only way I was able to get things done around the house (dishes, cleaning, etc.). That friend ended up giving birth shortly after so I returned the baby wrap to her. Oh, how I missed it! So when I was recently contacted to review the Baby Tula Toddler Carrier, I said yes! Lol, I picked this adorable Queen Koala design.
The Toddler Carrier can fit children up to 4 years old (up to 60lbs). The carrier is super easy to adjust to fit your baby. It also has padded shoulder straps which are very comfortable. One of my favorite features is the little front pocket that I can use to hold my keys and phone when we go out.
The Baby Tula Toddler Carrier is priced at 169$ and comes in so many fun colors and designs.

Yea, this is so comfortable n handy too, our hands r free to do other work while baby is hugging us, such a great feelings na ??
The best reason is your last one. My kiddos have grown up way too fast.
She is so adorable I can see why you still want her close to you. I love everything about babywear and wish we would have had all of these great options many years ago when my kids were born.
I am envious that you are able to babywear. Gosh I tried with 1st born without much luck, I don’t think there were as many awesome options back then to wear my baby and it didn’t work out. Second born is on the spectrum (aspergers) and hated being close like that, still does to this day. Third born was just too hyper (and still is) to sit still that long. I bet it is an amazing thing to be able to babywear, the closeness I am sure builds a great bond too!
I had no idea you could still baby wear a toddler! I thought once they were that big it was over and done with! Now, how would I do this with my twins…hmmm…
things have come a long way from when mine were babies. I woke my daughter like crazy but there wasn’t really a good option for when she was bigger.
This is impressive! I have a different brand carrier and my 2 yr old I could not hold him in it past 12 months because it hurt my back. But with my 5 month old, I have worn her when I go for walks unless I wanna lug around the double stroller (not often – too heavy). It makes life easier because I can have her in my carrier and sometimes feeding as needed if out at the park (within walking distance) while i push my 2 yr old in stroller.

I still baby wear our 3 year old on occasion. She does prefer to walk most of the time but when she gets tired it is so much easier to strap her on to me than put her in a stroller.
This looks like a good idea. I babysit for my grandson every day for 3-5 hours until the nanny arrives. Sometimes he just wants to be held and my back hurts holding a 30-pound, 21 month old toddler. I like this Baby Tula has the right support and is soft enough for bigger babies. I am going to get one of this for myself!
