Between the ergo 360, lilie all season and this carrier, which one is more comfortable for baby thigh. All the carrier I've bought seems to cut off babys leg circulation

[@SouthEastSlings]

Hi! Thanks for your question. Which carrier is right for you and baby is very personal. No carrier should be cutting off circulation though. It sounds like it may be a positioning issue? Always make sure baby's bottom is lower than their knees - so their weight is on their bottom. My video here shows how to achieve this if you're not sure: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hGXEZZ95gd93nqc Also make sure the width of the carrier is no wider than one knee to the other - so baby's lower leg can swing freely. A carrier with an adjustable seat width will allow you to adjust it to the correct width for baby. Hope that helps!

I have a question that might seem silly, but it's very important to me. Does this carrier remain confortable with large chest moms?

[@SouthEastSlings]

Hi! Not a silly question at all. The carrier adjusts to fit around the wearer and baby. There’s no fixed harness or anything, so it will mould to fit all shapes and sizes of wearer. It’s been very popular with mums with larger chests. If you’re UK based you can take advantage of my try-before-you-buy scheme, which gives you 2 weeks to try the carrier out to ensure it’s right for you and baby. If you like it you keep it. If it’s not right for you, return it within the 2 weeks for a refund of the purchase price, minus the 2 week hire fee of £15. Full details on www.southeastslings.co.uk/try-before-you-buy

@@SouthEastSlings Thank you so much. I'm unfortunately in Canada, but your video and advice are very helpful. Thank you again.

[@SouthEastSlings]

No problem. Am very pleased the videos are helpful! If you do need in-person help with your chosen carrier, I do video consultations, so if you’d like face to face help either for choosing the right carrier or once you’ve bought something, please get in touch :-)

Which one would you recommend, this or the 4G?

[@SouthEastSlings]

They're both really nice carriers. The Boba 4G has been around for about 5 years now and the Boba X definitely feels like the next evolution of it. There's now no need for the infant insert or foot stirrups, plus the Boba X has adjustable width and height. It also has the option to wear the straps crossed, as well as straight. Which you go for is very much up to the individual; if the changes and improvements aren't areas you're that bothered about then go for the 4G, but if you want a really versatile carrier from newborn to pre-school without any inserts then the Boba X is a great carrier. Hope that helps! If you've any further questions feel free to ask :-)

@@SouthEastSlings Thank you for your reply. You helped me made my mind with the Boba X. I will go for this then. Great video! Cheers
