Because I don't often get to wear this "I'm-not-a-baby-I'm-a-big-boy!!" anymore.

My new Tula came and it's beautiful. It's much more comfortable than my ergo once she's in there, but the buckle placement on the back of the tula makes it a pita to get her in, I look so awkward and it's tough to get her in without dropping her. I don't have this problem with my ergo.

milano you will get used to it. It'll get better. And I really think it'll be the most comfy carrier you've ever used.

My problem is that I can't reach the back buckle from the top or bottom so I have to fasten the tula on me completely, then kind of slip one shoulder out and slide her in from the top- but it's tight because the back buckle is already fastened. With my ergo I put one shoulder on, then set her in and put the other shoulder on THEN fasten the back buckle. I just wonder if this is normal for Tulas or if I've got a weird body.

My Tula buckle slides up and down. I was able to snug it up toward my neck to reach it...but then have to slide it down for back carries.

Mine does too but I can't get it to slide after the buckle is fastened and I'm wearing it, I can't reach it. I wonder if I tied something to the middle of it to grab onto, like another piece of nylon? I'll have to try that. ETA: I have to have it slid down to the lowest setting for it to be comfortable, even with front carries.

Loosen the shoulder straps, buckle the back. Then tighten.

Wore Nugget in my LL meh dai at a strawberry festival last weekend and my sister wore my niece in her Beco soleil. We also wore all over the zoo on Sunday. Nugget's face in this picture makes me lol. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
