Happy Baby OG

Happy baby original, linen Lightweight, easy to use even with a young baby. I used mine starting at 1 week old. I love how small it folds up, which was nice when I was using it more regularly but has become even more valuable now that it's a backup option for my toddler and I want to be able to stuff it in a bag.

For newborn- solly wrap. We both loved being so close and cozy. After 3 months- happy baby OG. I can get baby in and out in about 30s, she loves it, and my back loves it.

They are absolute worth it for me. One of the most comfortable carriers I've tried and most stylish. I opted against the Revolution just because I've never cared to outward face. It's personal preference, really. Once mine are big enough to be in my back that's where they stay lol

Of the carriers you listed, I only have experience with Happy Baby and I love it! It is structured but not bulky. I can fit it in my diaper bag easily. They come in super cute patterns. Once you have gotten a proper fit, it is really comfortable! Happy Baby also makes an Onbuhimo style carrier which makes it easy to do a back carry once baby is old enough to sit on their own. I can put my baby in a back carry by myself, and it has made life so much easier. Oh, and I'm 5'3, so similar height.

I live in Florida and I love the Happy Baby. The apron style is much more forgiving on my back and it's super lightweight to wear and compact in my bag.

Loved ergobaby embrace and now love the Happy Baby OG with my 8 month old! She liked arms out and being able to have more visibility without the discomfort of world facing. It's also so small and easy to take with you, which was important to me. It's a brief adjustment to the H back but I actually found it easier as I can reach over my shoulders

I have a Happy Baby carrier. I got it when my daughter was about 3 months old after failing with the Baby K'tan. I love it. Baby has always loved it. As someone who was new to baby wearing, I found it super easy to use and it feels very secure. I just have the original. Now that we have #2 coming I'll likely get another style. I am 5 months pregnant and can still wear my 20 month old on my back. My husband uses it too. My only "regret" is not getting a light color - we live in a hot climat

The babywearing sub suggested the Happy Baby OG and I honestly love it! It's so easy to put on/take off, easy to adjust the "seat" portion as baby grows, and I like the sun/wind protector & the ability to secure my purse strap to it.

I tried a lot of things before settling on Happy Baby carriers. I didn't like the wrap, sling, ergobaby embrace, lillebaby, or baby k'tan. Happy Baby checked all the boxes for me - soft and comfy, didn't squeeze my postpartum belly, structured without having a billion clips and clasps. I like the tencel and linen fabrics. I would avoid the corduroy, it's a little too thick and stiff for my liking. I want to try the Honeyroo when baby gets older, it has a "seat" to it that people seem to really

Happy baby original It is just easy. Takes no adjusting and fidgeting to get it right. Started using it at 2-3 months but wish I'd had it sooner.

Loved my Happy Baby OG!

I personally love happy baby (OG). Tula is good too

I really like my Happy Baby carrier. My son falls asleep in it instantly and it's fairly simple to adjust and put on.

I have a happy baby that I used when my son was 4 months old and still use sporadically now that he's a big, tall 2 year old. Sometimes he just likes a cuddle and it's very cute and nice. He's always been a 85th percentile weight and 90th percentile height kid.

Where in the Deep South are you? I have a lot of carriers and wouldn't mind letting you try them if you were not crazy far but I'm near the Georgia /Alabama state line. My happy baby was great for the summer. It's not as soft as the lark but it's cute and I didn't feel hot. I haven't been able to try out the lark for summer since it hasn't been around long but I've worn it on a pretty warm day at the Birmingham zoo with no problems. I have other carriers as well because I lack self control. I a

I like different carriers for different situations. I have a Lenny light that I loved for front carries and contact napping with a smaller baby. Now that he's bigger and mostly prefers a back carry, I've switched to my happy baby og. I also have a waterproof meh dai for the summer and babywearing at the beach, and a ring sling that's great for extra support on my hip around the house. All to say, it might be worth seeing if you can borrow a few styles, explore a library, or find some second hand

I LOVE my happy baby carriers I decided against the outward facing one. Instead I went for the back carry (onbuhimo). Since my LO is bigger and heavier I find him the most comfortable on my back. I haven't worn him on my front in months If I could do it over again, I'd skip the original completely and just go straight to the onbuhimo. Highly, highly recommend. They take a little bit of practice, but once you have it down they're fantastic
