LILLEbaby Complete Original - RRP $160
The LILLEbaby Complete Original is the base model LILLEbaby carrier. It is made from 100% cotton and is one of the most affordable, full featured, soft structured carriers available on the market. If you are looking for a carrier that does everything, is very supportive, and can carry your baby from newborn through to toddlerhood AND offers incredible value for money, the LILLEbaby Complete Original is your carrier. Though I would recommend washing the LILLEbaby Complete Original a few times before wearing because the fabric is quite stiff, but will soften up over time with use (but you can speed up this process through washing them a few times before baby arrives!)

I am personally in love with the current range of colours and patterns. I think they’re fun, and pretty and they offer parents something other than the usual blacks and greys that cover most baby products at the moment. The fabric for these carriers is a Poly-fabric, rather than a 100% Cotton, but I actually prefer the feel of these carriers. The material is a little softer and more flexible than the classic version. Also Poly-fabrics tend to be more resistant to stains and they dry a lot faster.
LILLEbaby Complete Airflow - RRP $200AUD
The LILLEbaby Complete Airflow is the lightest, most breathable option in the LILLEbaby range, and in my opinion one of the lighter carriers available. It is almost entirely made out of that aerated sports mesh. So it offers “Airflow” as well as sweat wicking.
So the Complete Airflow is a great option for summer babies, active parents, or just parents who are concerned about overheating in their carriers! Keeping in mind you can always add extra layers in winter to stay warm, so the Airflow can be used all year round.

There isn’t as much difference between the patterned and plain Complete Airflow carriers as there is between the Original in the fabric type and feel. They’re both made from the same sports mesh- just the limited edition colours and patterns.
LILLEbaby Complete Airflow DLX - RRP TBC
Initially my favourite LILLEbaby Carrier was the Original in the Leopard print, but once I’d touched the Complete Airflow DLX I would have a lot of trouble choosing between them - because the Complete Airflow DLX has the softest, more luxurious fabric feel of any carrier in the LILLEbaby range. (Though I do love Leopard print, so it would be a tough choice.) If LILLEbaby brings out a DLX in Leopard then I’m sold.
Though the Complete Airflow DLX doesn’t have quite as much of the sports mesh as the regular Complete Airflow I don’t think it’ll make a meaningful difference in terms of heat retention. I also think the solid fabric on the edges makes the carrier look a bit more polished - but that’s purely a personal preference.
LILLEbaby Complete All Seasons - RRP $220AUD
The Complete All Seasons is the most popular in the LILLEbaby range, because it offers the best of both worlds. There is a breathable mesh panel to allow air through the baby on warmer days, that can be zipped up to keep baby cosy when it’s a bit chilly. There’s not really much more to say about that - it’s easy to see why this is the option most parents go with because if you use a baby carrier for a year then your baby is both a summer and a winter baby.

I love that even at the upper end of the LILLEbaby price range this is still a great value carrier. The difference in fabric is the same as the difference between the Complete Original Premium and Classic carriers. Stiffer cotton for the Classic, but softer Poly-based fabric for the Premium. I’m just not quite as into the colour range of the Premium All Seasons. There is a “Leopard” print, but it’s not very “leopardy”. I do quite like the “Salt and Pepper” design, though I have concerns about a white baby carrier. Not because of the baby, but because I would definitely spill something on it.

I live in Qld so want something nice and cool, but I'm trying to figure out if there's a difference between the "complete airflow" and "complete airflow dlx", as there's a $90 price difference online.

Hi Megan, great question! There's not a significant difference between them - mainly the Airflow DLX has a bit softer fabrics, particularly around the legs for baby. In terms of which will be cooler/breathable, it'll be much the same. It's just the Airflow DLX has a bit more premium feel. If it helps at all I did an Airflow DLX vs Ergobaby Omni Breeze video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hIm8c39pj7OZr6s Let me know if you have any other questions! - Rachel
