Lennylamb Lennylight I love that its a great option from newborn (for bigger fresh out of the womb babies or about 1 month old) to toddler, does a fantastic and comfortable front or back carry and the straps can be worn X or H style. And comes in so many different fabric options so there's a color for anyone. Super easy to use and a perfect starter option. Starts fitting at 7lbs all the way up to 45 lbs.
Detailed praise: newborn to toddler (7-45 lbs), X or H strap options, many fabric choices, 'super easy', 'perfect starter'; comprehensive endorsement
I have a lennylamb light and its by far the most comfortable baby carrier I've tried. I like that its super adjustable and can be worn H style or cross.
'By far the most comfortable I've tried'; super adjustable, H style or cross options; superlative comfort claim
Lennylamb is amazing! I also have a Tula that is good also but I really love the softness of my lennylamb. I've heard great things about Happy Baby and Didyklick also. I recommend checking out the babywearing sub! Folks over there will have lots of great info.
'Amazing', 'really love the softness'; prefers over Tula which is 'good also'; specific fabric quality praise
Yeah I got super sucked into the cuteness of Wildbird (cmon Wildbird? that's adorable) but after a lot of research in this group ended up with a LennyLight for $75 less and it's amazing. I do have a Wildbird sling which I really like but I just got a Hope & Plum sling that knocks the socks off the Wildbird one (it is however double the price for that reason)
'Amazing', chose over Wildbird at $75 less after research; community-guided decision resulting in satisfaction and savings
LennyLight and Lark. Baby is 9 months old/16lbs, and I wear for contact naps (1-2 hours at a time), usually while taking a walk. No soreness at all.

This one is discontinued but ergobaby adapt. I've used it from 6 weeks to 4 years without inserts and it's easy to get a good fit for all. I think the most similar is Lenny lamb Lenny light. I got it on fb marketplace for around $15 and I've used it for both of my kids I love it!
Compared to discontinued Ergobaby Adapt which was used 6 weeks to 4 years; 'love it', used for both kids, got it for $15 secondhand; strong value endorsement
Lenny light or lark. I will say I much prefer the LL for back carry
Prefers LennyLight specifically for back carry over Lark; experienced user comparison showing specific strength
I have a Tula free to grow which I liked a lot for my first, and I just bought a Lenny lamb Lennylight carrier to my newborn because she's not big enough for the Tula for a bit and I've been eyeing it for a while. It was definitely a splurge purchase though. Look into a baby wearing pending library near you if possible or check out little zen one, they have a try before you buy program where you can sign up to "host" different carriers for a week and then if you don't like it you just pay the sh
Chose LennyLight specifically for newborn who is too small for Tula; 'been eyeing it for a while', splurge purchase — desired and deliberately chosen
