If you’re researching which baby carrier is best for your family, it’s highly possible you’ve stumbled across the Tula baby carrier.
When people refer to a Tula carrier, they are mostly referring to Tula’s soft structured/buckle carrier (they also produce woven wraps, ring slings and blankets)
The stylish and practical Tula might very well be one of the most popular baby carriers in the world currently. As Nurture Nest was the first store to introduce them to Australia almost 5 years ago, we knew she’d be the best person to explain why so many people are in love with their Tula, and she’s narrowed it down to the 5 top reasons.
- Tula’s come a range of stylish prints
Thankfully, we’re no longer limited to wearing a bland, bulky baby carrier that make you look and feel as though you’re wearing a backpack on your front. Tula have introduced a number of modern, fun, and exciting patterns that make you excited to wear your baby carrier.
At any given time, Tula have around 30 prints available to choose from. However, if it’s love – act fast! The prints are often limited edition and once they sell out they can be hard to find again. It’s not unusual to see families with a collection of Tula’s in a variety of different prints for this reason.
It’s often said that choosing which baby carrier is best for your family is the easy part and choosing a favourite print is the hardest part!
2. Tula’s are simple to use
With a wriggly toddler or a tiny newborn (or both!), nobody has time for a baby carrier that takes more than one person to put it on. The Tula secures with two simple clips, and with some extra slight adjustments you’ll be ready to go in 30 seconds or less. Put it this way – it’s quicker than getting the pram out the boot or trying to get two wriggly little legs in the leg holes of a shopping trolley. You can see a visual guide below showing just how easy they are to use.
3. The Tula has a handy pocket on the waistbelt
A pocket on the waistbelt might seem like a really simple thing, but if you’re like us and are always fumbling around looking for your car keys it’s essential. The pocket can also fit a phone, credit cards and/or cash so often all you need when you leave the house to run a quick errand is your Tula
4. The Tula comes in two sizes to choose from
Tula’s come in a baby size and a toddler size. Thankfully you don’t have to purchase both, but when you have a child who is 18 months or older you have the choice to purchase a larger version (toddler size) to accommodate your growing child. If you don’t think you’ll wear a toddler, you might be surprised to discover how helpful toddler wearing can be during ‘witching hour’ at around 5pm at night – all you need to do is put your toddler on your back and you can continue to prepare dinner.
5. The Tula can give you the perfect fit.
Tula’s have perfect fit adjusters which are clips located at the top of the shoulder straps and allow you extra room to extend or tighten the length of the shoulder strap. This gives you the option to change the positioning of the padding for a more comfortable fit and have it across your back if you’re very tall, and it’s also very helpful for breastfeeding because you can loosen the strap as you’re feeding and retighten when you’re finished without having to adjust the entire carrier. If you’re shorter or petite, you might like to have the straps completely tightened for a nice snug fit. Once you’ve experienced perfect fit adjusters, it’s hard to go back to a carrier without them!
So there you have it – 5 reasons to love the Tula baby carrier!
