MJ Baby CarrierSunday Meeting Lending Library (Westerville Public) I would definitely recommend MJ baby size as a newborn to toddler carrier. It was easy to use and comfortable. The straps and panel size are similar to a Tula. The waistband is wider and has adjusters on both sides like a kinderpack, which is something I like. The baby size is an adjustable panel so NO INSERT needed. Major plus. I liked having pfas (perfect fit adjusters) on the straps and on the top of the panel to shrink it down to accommodate the demo doll. The width is adjusted by cinching and securing with Velcro. I'm not a big fan of Velcro but it did surprisingly stay in place really well. If the demo doll had knees, she would have been perfectly knee to knee, but the panel was a bit high still. I also tried with my toddler who is 2, in 2t pants for length and knocking on the door of 25 pounds (yeah, little) and I found the fit similar to a standard size Tula but comfortable.

Tula Toddler Carrier Monday Meeting Lending Library (Lane Rd.): Tula Prepster Toddler Carrier Sunday Meeting Lending Library (Westerville Public): Tula Travel Bug Toddler Carrier Carrier Type: Soft Structured Carrier (SSC) Carrier Size: Toddler Size- 25-60 lbs Carrier Design/Print: Prepster; Travel Bug Carrier Material: Canvas Retail Price Point: $169 new, $110-$160 used Size of Wearee: 30 lbs, 2T-3T clothing Age of Wearee: 2 years, 4 months The Toddler Tula features a padded waist band with a single side adjusting waist buckle, adjustable padded shoulder straps with personal fit adjusters (PFAs), removable hood that uses a hook and loop to attach to the carrier shoulder straps, and a pocket on the waist band. It can be used for both front and back carries. I personally find the Tula to be a very comfortable carrier for both front and back carries whether being used for a short 30 minute trip into the store or a 2 hour hike in the woods. Even in a size 2T-3T pants, my daughter is just now big enough for the toddler size carrier as it is much larger than the Baby Tula which can be used from 15-45 lbs or 7-15 lbs when used with the infant insert (see size comparison picture). I personally find the padding very supportive and appreciate the PFAs that allow for a more personalized fit for the carrier, and do not mind the single direction adjustment of the side straps

Carrier Type: Soft Structured Carrier (SSC) Carrier Size: Baby Size- 8-40 lbs Carrier Design/Print: Kirby Classic Carrier Material: Canvas Retail Price Point: $98 new, $50-$65 used Size of Wearee: 28 lbs, 2T-3T clothing Age of Wearee: 2 years, 1 month This Action Baby carrier features a padded waist band with dual sided adjusting buckle, adjustable padded shoulder straps and attached hood that buckles up to the carrier to cover the child's head when in use. I have to say I am extremely impressed by this budget friendly carrier. It was comfortable for both front and back carries with my toddler for both wearing around the house and out shopping. However, I will say it would be better suited for a smaller child, up to 18 months, as it has a tall but narrow panel. With no infant insert needed, this is a great go-to carrier for a smaller child!
