Example review
“I LOVE THIS BABY CARRIER!! It has been amazing with both my babies. Well worth the money spent. It’s convenient and comes in handy when bub only wants you and you have stuff to do. I find it easy to use, a good fit, and comfy to wear. My bub loves using it too. I like how it can be used for many positions. I use mine all the time, would be lost without it.”

Baby Tula Explore Baby Carrier

This carrier can be used in three positions, front facing in, front facing out (5.8kg – 10kg) and back, each one providing a natural, ergonomic position that promotes healthy hip and spine development for baby.
Made from soft and breathable 100% cotton that’s easy to clean and machine washable, the Baby Tula Explore also comes in lots of cute designs and colours.
Age suitability
The Baby Tula Explore is Suitable from 3.2 kg to 20 kg.
The Baby Tula website says: “Before beginning to use the Explore Carrier in the facing out position, your baby should have head and neck control and their chin should clear the top of the panel when facing out.
“We suggest a weight range for the facing out position of 5.8kg – 10kg for shorter intervals of time for optimal comfort. Watch baby for signs of sleepiness or over-stimulation. Baby should not sleep in the front carry facing out position.”
Price
$279.50
Pros
Parents love the great designs and colours the Baby Tula Explore comes in. Others are delighted with the options to face in and out when carrying bub on the front. A big plus is that there’s no need to purchase a newborn insert. The sunshade was also a hit.
Cons
The only negative one mum had was that her child didn’t enjoy the front out carrying position, and she found it uncomfortable around her waist.
Sample review
“This is a FAVOURITE in this house. I use it literally everyday everywhere. Hard days around the house, I can get stuff done, and it makes my life soooo much easier. Even hubby likes to wear it! Just comfy and pretty which I loved because some are so boring. Definitely a recommendation in my book.”
